Paul Costas, Dr

I cannot recommend Dr. Costas for any sort of nasal surgery. Despite his arrogance, he does not have enough knowledge of nasal anatomy to effectively perform nose surgery.

I got a combination septoplasty + rhinoplasty done by Dr. Costas six years ago and the result was a severely pinched tip, excessive scar tissue, collapsed middle vault, nasal synechiae, and 100% blockage of my right nostril. Dr. Costas didn't note these issues in any post-op appointments. In fact, when I pointed that my septum had become visibly more deviated since the surgery and I still couldn't breathe through it, Dr. Costas replied, "Nope, doesn't look deviated to me! Try using some Afrin."

After moving away from MA, I consulted with two different facial plastic surgeons in Houston for a revision surgery. Both of them were shocked after inspecting my nose and hearing my experience with Dr. Costas.

To fix my nose, I had to get a full reconstruction with three cadaver cartilage grafts. The first thing my new surgeon said in my first post-op appointment was that my nose was an absolute mess. This new surgeon, who has performed hundreds of revision rhinoplasties, remarked that I would get the award for the most deviated septum he has seen. He also said that my primary rhinoplasty had caused an immense buildup of dense scar tissue. In the OR notes, it was written that my tip cartilages were previously cut down to less than 2mm wide-- this is insanely thin, especially for a male nose, and shows that Dr. Costas barely had a clue what he was doing.

I wish Dr. Costas had been honest with me by admitting that he was not qualified to do my surgery. Instead, he doomed me with a future $14,000+ medical bill, a permanently weaker nose, and several years of 50% breathing capacity.
