Norman J. Pastorek, MD, PC, FACS

6 days out of surgery and my nose looks absolutely amazing. Painless, minimal bruising and swelling. I was extremely nervous before the procedure. Dr. Pastorek and all of his staff did an excellent job of calming my nerves and making me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Pastorek to absolutely everyone.

I am a 59-year-old woman. I spent my entire life with a long bulbous nose. Although I acknowledged my inner beauty, I was always insecure about my looks. My worst feature was my nose. When I was a teenager, I had my first rhinoplasty. After surviving cancer some 7 years ago, I decided to have a revision since my nose was still big and bulbous. Unfortunately, that surgery, too, was not successful. Two and half years later and after much research, I found Dr. Pastorek. His background is impeccable: dual board certifications and performance of over 7,000 rhinoplasties. After consulting with him, I knew that he was the right surgeon to help me. He is a warm and unassuming man who made me feel quite comfortable. Dr. Pastorek spent a significant amount of time analyzing my nose. He explained precisely what the aesthetic problems of my nose were and the kind of nose that belonged on my face.
In discussing other procedures of which I would benefit, Dr. Pastorek suggested an internal brow lift. He explained that due to my high hairline (further raised due to permanent hair loss from chemotherapy), the endoscopic approach previously performed could not reach the brow in such a way as to raise it.
The following day, Dr. Pastorek spent time with me on the telephone, answering my additional questions. Thereafter, I scheduled both surgeries.
Dr. Pastorek and his staff were kind, respectful and helpful through the entire process. Dr. Pastorek even called me the night before. I felt that I was their only patient, never rushing me. In between my follow up appointments, there were occasions where I was concerned with the lumps and bumps associated with swelling. Barbara, Gya and Reika would put my concerns at ease and encouraged me to schedule a visit if that would help. Since I do not live locally, I opted to email pictures. They assured me that the healing was progressing normally.
In addition to my nose issues, I also suffer from severe acne scarring. I tried several procedures to address the scarring, such as fractional laser and phenol chemical peel. These procedures helped to a certain degree, but I still had the craters. Dr. Pastorek suggested that I try working with his lovely wife and RN, Janice, who performs some of the non-surgical treatments. So I did. Janice used a type of laser that helped with the unsightly red capillaries. She also used boletero balance for the dents, as she calls them. I also had botox. In addition, Janice even managed to make my almost extremely thin lips to become visible without looking like “duck lips”. When Janice handed me the mirror, tears ran down my face. For the first time in my life, I looked pretty. I did not look like anyone else. I looked like a beautiful version of me. I could not believe that this could ever happen to me. Of special note, is the fact that I do not look like I had work done, like some of the women on the “Housewives” franchises.
Dr. Pastorek’s office is first class, and despite the Park Avenue address, is not in the least bit intimidating. Dr. Pastorek, Janice, Barbara, Gya and Reika are my beauty angels, and I am so glad that at last I found them. My inner beauty now matches my outer beauty, and I have my beauty angels to thank for that.
