My 15-year-old daughter was increasingly unhappy with the shape and size of her nose. She finally decided she wanted a rhinoplasty. We both looked at surgeons in the Scottsdale area - asked friends, etc., and chose Dr. Hecht. My daughter liked the before and after pictures because each person had a natural looking result.
I liked that he was double-board certified, in head/heck AND plastic surgery, and that he had a completely clean record with Az Board of Medical Examiners. His staff was wonderful - they worked to get my daughter scheduled for surgery over winter break and were flexible when we thought we'd miss an appt. due to a death in my family.
Some patients feel that Dr. hecht is difficult to talk to. We found him to be a little reserved - not a small talk person. But he was professional and straightforward about the procedures, risks, etc and showed what her results would be. He answered all of our questions. The staff was wonderful in working with payment issue s(we were self pay) and answered every question we had. They also did NOT push other services. Didn't even mention them, actually. Dr. hecht called to check on her later in the evening, and when the plastic covering the splint fell of, he returned my call very quickly.
Bottom line: Her results were exactly what we expected and what my daughter wanted. She is noticeably more self-confident. As far as the actual surgery - she was in pain the day after, but nothing bad after that. there was almost no bruising at all - just a tiny yellowish bruise under one eye .
We would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hecht for rhinoplasty. We're completely satisfied with his work and my daughter is so happy with her new nose.
