My mother wanted me to have a rhinoplasty when I was 19 and took me to Dr. Silver. The bridge of my nose was a little wide but otherwise a pretty great nose and quite symmetrical. One rhinoplasty and then one revision later I have a cracked septum and uneven nostrils When I went back after the revision to see if he could fix it he told me it was 'just a shadow'. I agree with the comment that said he is a narcissist first, a terrible doctor second. Run do not walk away from this person. It's hard to even call him a doctor. Wish I could have my old cute nose back and tell my mom and this terrible, greedy 'doc' to take a hike.

Rhinoplasty gone wrong
Had rhinoplasty said my septum needed to be reinforced it was too thin. Now I have a big bump in nose and it is very wide. Also having major sinus problems I never had before. Went back to see him and he suggested using filler in it. I would have to go every 6 months I guess fir the rest of my life. That’s not a solution. Find someone ride if you are looking for rhinoplasty . Btw I asked him what caused the bump and he said I had it before surgery . I have photos before and after. My nose looked way better before. It makes me very sad. I wear glasses all of the time so I don’t have to notice big bump in my nose.

RUN THE OTHER WAY. Dr. William Silver is a narcissist 1st, and plastic surgeon 2nd. He botched my rhinoplasty. One side of my nose started collapsing within weeks post-surgery & he told me it was "all in my head" & suggested I was "mentally unwell". Because of this man, I suffered PTSD and had to postpone my wedding and wait 1 year to seek revision surgery elsewhere. A therapist I saw to help me through my depression during this time spoke to him (with my permission) and revealed to me I should consider filing an ethics complaint with the medical board. She recommended I avoid dealing with him further and suggested he had a God complex. This doctor is awful. Truly. Once he had my $ & did his lousy surgery he showed zero concern for my well being post-surgery. He was unskilled in the surgery itself (which should have been straight-forward) and he thinks he's the bees knees when he isn't. Hard to believe he's still in business. He's a dinosaur now. DO NOT let this man operate on you!
