Mark B Constantian MD PA

Seriously, this doctor is terrible, but he’ll tell you how great he is, and so will many other doctors, because he promotes himself so vigorously, they all recommend him. But dig deep and you will find a lot of unhappy customers. If you want a bigger uglier nose than the one you’ve got, Constantian is your guy.

Dr. Constantian changed my life.
I have had issues with my nose and breathing since I was young. When my surgeon in Los Angeles/​Santa Barbara decided to retire, I was referred (without hesitation) to Dr. Constantian.
Dr. Constantian is an excellent communicator. After my initial consultation, I felt very comfortable in proceding with rhinoplasty surgery due to his thourough communication. He set my expectations for the procedure and recouperation process. I put my trust in Dr. Constantian and was rewarded with the outcome.
His friendly and professional staff are wonderful to work with. They were always available to answer my questions, and even made suggestions helpful in booking my travel & lodging for the surgery. They care about their patients as much as Dr. Constantian.
You should breath easier (pun intended) knowing that you are in excellent hands with Dr. Costantian.

I am truly shocked to read the negative reviews listed below given that my experience with Dr. Constantian was outstanding. It has been approximately four months since my septoplasty/​rhinoplasty, and I am thrilled with the results both functionally and aesthetically. Among Dr. C’s many positive attributes are his interest in achieving his patients’ goals and his ability to successfully tackle unexpected challenges in the operating room. I trusted Dr. C because I clearly communicated my goals – functional and aesthetic – and he was dedicated to achieving those results to the fullest extent possible. Additionally, my nose was unfortunately uncooperative during surgery in that it did not react in an ordinary manner to grafts/​reshaping; however, Dr. C was quick to devise solutions that produced nearly perfect results.
While I respect the reviews of others posted on this site, I think that some of the criticisms are unfair and disingenuous. A «dated office» is hardly a reflection on the surgical skills of Dr. C or anyone for that matter. The office is located in humble Nashua, after all. I also disagree that Dr. C is of the «one nose fits all» persuasion, as evidenced by before-​and-​after pictures of his patients and by the conversations he and I had concerning the fact that different facial structures/​features require different nose shapes. I most strongly disagree with the contention that Dr. C uses «dated techniques.» He performs only closed rhinoplasty, which preserves the integrity of the original nose and requires less recovery time unlike its more gruesome cousin, open rhinoplasty. I conducted a ton of research before selecting Dr. C as my doctor, and there is nothing «dated» about his techniques.
In conclusion, Dr. Constantian is awesome and I firmly believe that no other plastic surgeon in the New England area could have achieved better results.

Doesn’t follow instructions and does absolutely awful work. I had a revision rhinoplasty with this doctor and I would give anything to go back in time and not have it done by him. I paid 4x what I had for my original rhinoplasty ($ 20k with insurance) thinking that I’d get what I’m paying for. Thanks to his poor workmanship I’m left with very noticeable deformities, much worse than what I went in with. It’s like this doc took the instructions I gave him and threw them out the window. Instead he told me to trust him to make the right aesthetic decisions and went ahead and did whatever he wanted.
He has the one-​nose-​fits-​all syndrome; for him it’s the completely straight high bridge and narrow, pointy tip (that he was supposed to turn up but didn’t in my case). He also tried really hard to convince me I need to get a gortex graft in my upper lip to look more Caucasian (I’m white). Right up until the pre-​operative meeting he tried to up-​sell me on more and more work that I didn’t need or want. Originally I went in only for a small hole in my septum, so I guess he’s a really good salesman.
He ruined any kind of bilateral symmetry in my nose with his poor graft placements. He placed grafts on my bridge completely askew, and as the swelling went down I realized the damage he’d done. He also removed more tissue from my tip, which had been over recessed with the 1^st surgery. I explicitly told him not to, but he also rasped down my dorsal hump, which wasn’t big and which I wanted to keep.
I provided him with a ton of pictures of my original nose, with the instructions to make my tip as close to my original tip as possible. Six months post op, when I told him how miserable I was with the result he argued with me over what my original instructions were and that he had no way of knowing what I wanted my tip to be. As a «cheap» remedy he offered restylane injections for all the bumps and ridges he created. I wouldn’t even trust him to do that.
Oh did I mention that I suffered a surgical site infection on the ear he cut a graft from. Yea, he can’t even be bothered to operate in an aseptic OR.
