About 8 years ago, when he was at Stanford, he performed a rhinoplasty on me that came out looking like a pig snout. Because no one else would touch me, I allowed him to do a revision on me. Where do I start? My nose looks bigger than before, it has a lump it never had, the cartilage inside my nose is S-shaped, I have nose bleeds all the time, the grafts have shifted and the tip is an asymetrical ball. It was a very negative experience all around. I am now searching for a dr. to try to fix the mess on my face that was, at one, point, a nose.

Great review?
