Who has Body Dysmorphia? Me or the surgeon? Do you guys see What I see?

I thought I should share these 2 pictures of me 2 weeks after my second rhinoplasty. You would think that doctors take measurements or at least check if your nose is straight before they stitch it up and apply the splint, but think again. Things don't happen the way you think. I have paid £5400 for someone to mess up my nose and chuck my confidence in the bin.
I was always accused by Dr Uppal that I had Body Dysmorphia because I always complained about my nose results. I always refused this "easy label" that is used by most of the plastic surgeons when patients complain about their results. I don't have Body Dysmorphia. What I do have is a good pair of eyes that clearly see that the nose is not straight.
I so do regret having chosen Dr Uppal to perform the rhinoplasty on me. He is a hell of a salesman let me say it.
These photos were the breaking point to rush me to have a mini revision 1 month after my rhinoplasty. That was a huge mistake as now I have other type of problems ( scar tissue/discoloration to the skin).
Do not have a nose job, that is my advice to you guys out there!

This was supposed to be a picture to share with family but I cannot.

This picture was taken when my baby was born. A moment of pure joy and happiness. I wanted to share this pic with my family and closest friends but I could not due to the appearance of my nose. It is very noticeable the scar tissue on my nose, this was done by Dr uppal when he was performing a mini revision with a pair of scissors. He wanted to release the skin from the cartilages but ended up damaging the epidermis which made the body to produce "glue" in order to protect the harvest that has occurred. This is called scar tissue and for people with thin skin like mine it is very visible to the naked eye. This photo reminds me of the failure of this revision rhinoplasty. I hope no one goes through something like this. It destroys one's happiness and confidence.

18 months have passed - I'm trying to hang in there - it is tough

Hi guys, it's been a while since I din't update my review but I've been hands-full with my new baby and also having gone back to work.
So, over the past year I have had 4 steroid injections with Dr Uppal which made some improvement to decrease the scar tissue on my nose tip.
In February this year had a turbinate reduction surgery with an ENT Specialist to improve my breathing (the worst recovery I have ever had) and that improved only 10% of the airflow, so definitely not worth it.
In June I had a filler injection, once again with Dr Uppal, free of charge of course, and that seemed to work very well. The downside of it is that I am still bruised, so I can't leave the house without make up. It's pink/purple where the filler was injected.
Everything seemed to be going well up to this point. Dr Uppal had promised me to fix my nose until I was happy but he didn't keep that promise. After the filler injection he had his secretary sending me an email saying that the treatment was over and from now on I had to pay, and also he had the nerve to refer me to a psychologist. Once again he's trying to blame me with BDD for his bad results.
This only shows that they don't care. He just kicked me out of the door literally, and specially now that my nose was getting better even though it's still crooked. The little respect that I had left for Dr Uppal was crushed after the last consultation. They only care about profit, numbers and more clients to rip off. They promise you revision for free, consultations and injections but that is only until they want.
My advise for you out there that is thinking on having a rhinoplasty: think 30 times before you go under the knife. Try fillers first or PDO thread lift and have surgery only if you cannot really live with your nose. Don't forget that the outcome might not be what you had aimed and your money is gone once you book the surgery in. Also, the nose has a major function, you need a good airflow to be able to do sports, sleep well, eat, have sex, brush your teeth, etc. You only realise how much it is important until you don't have it. I feel embarrassed every time I have to eat with friends as my nose is dripping constantly. I wish I could go back to the old days of having a normal and functioning nose.
2 rhinoplasties have cost me £10.000 and took the joy, freedom and happiness that I once had which is priceless. I hope my story helps someone and this is the only the reason I am writing these reviews and post my pictures. We should always learn from other's mistakes.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone that sent me messages of support. When you are feeling low and someone that doesn't know you tries to cheer you up, that is priceless. So, a big thank you to ALL of you out there that made me feel a bit better and helped cope through tough days. See you soon ;-)

Great salesman but horrible surgeon. Full of empty promises. Brags himself a lot but then fails to deliver good results. Left me with lots of unfixable problems on my nose and didn't finished the treament until the nose was fixed like he had promised. Always rushing in consultations. AVOID this man!!!
