Dr Gonschior

I had a closed rhinoplasty with him 5 years ago after a within the year I could feel and see a bump on one side which I told him about at the time of my one year review to which he said "oh it's nothing major I wouldn't mess with that I think I've done a good job" and couldn't wait to get us out of there. A year later my tip which had the graft in it started dropping from one side which made the bump even more noticeable. It looks bad and even worse in pictures my nose just looks so wonky I can't even do many facial expression cause my nose looks terrible and more twisted by it. I would never of chose this surgeon if I had read some more reviews on him back then. The only reviews on this surgeon were from patients only less than a yr or so after the op but I can say now that I bet evn they have noticed a year or so lasted that the results do not last very long with his shoddy work. He just takes off too much cartilage which makes the nose weak less support is bound to make the nose collapse even I know this. He is suppose to be a surgeon yet he messes up so badly!! I wish I had done more research. This time when looking for a revision I will find a specialist who mainly does facial plasty only and is not dentist and what not with rhinoplasty surgeon on the side. I think someone with an artistic view and and vast experience in rhinos should be chosen someone who actually cares about his reputation, career and his patients. I wish the rest of you all good luck in finding a great surgeon who can fix your noses and for the ones that are yet to have a first rhinoplasty please do your research well and I hope you never have to feel the way we do with our nose mishaps by such so called surgeons. Good luck to you all.

have also had an open rhinoplasty by this surgeon in April this year and now I am left with alot of issues that require repair! I paid to put my nose straight as it was very slightly crooked and for the length and width of the nose to be slightly reduced. I am far from happy with the results!! My nose is more crooked than before surgery with a dent to the one side of my bridge. I have bumps on one side of my collumema which has now made it crooked also it looks like the one side is hanging. I have a visible bump inside that can be seen clearly on the outside, this is obviously something to do with poor stitching! And the worst problem is the one side of my tip has collapsed, I can see the cartilage hanging in my nostril and my nostril is drooping down with a dent to the whole one side of my tip. I knee something was wrong as soon as the cast was taken off. I requested to see the surgeon and he seen me at 6 weeks post op. I travelled nearly 2 hours to see him and all he said was he thought he had done a good job and to wait a year and to see him again. All he said about the cartilage collapse was the droopy nostril might contract as the swelling goes down........I thought your tip was supposed to drop as the swelling went down so I don't know why he said that for!! He totally disregarded my nose was still not straight! So I didnt even get my nose put straight which I paid for now I'm left with bumps, a wonky collumela and a cartilage collapse that looks awful. They have sent me a letter fobbing me off saying I knew the risks, I was never told my nose could collapse or I wouldn't get what I paid for!! He doesn't guarantee perfection....yea ok a bump or nostrils being abit off....but coming out with all these faults is ridiculous. You expect some sort of professionalism when paying 4k and I have not been shown any. His consultation wasn't even professional. When he talked about the risks it took him a whole 5 seconds and didn't even look at me to explain anything he was sayin. If he has said you could come out with every one of these problem I would never of had it done. I am so upset about this I havnt even gone out as I'm ti embarrassed to see anyone I know. My sister was supposed to have one next year with him but is now going to a specialist. I will keep on fighting for something to be done about this I was never told if there was a problem it wouldn't be rectified. My nose is worse not better and now I will need grafts to repair the damage. If there is any advice from anyone I would be really grateful.
