“Need a Revision - No Pros to This Procedure and Now Must Pay for "Touch-ups"”
Ralph
Not Worth It
Spent: $6,000 in Toronto, ON

-No pros, just a big hole in my wallet! Left me broke!
-I was made fun of my whole life and it got to me; It made me very self-consious because of that.
I advice anyone who wants to get this done, not to. It's SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT!... Your gambling.
I am pretty angry with the outcome of my surgery considering my plastic surgeon made it seem easy. I am curious... If my Dr. said " THE COST OF YOUR SURGERY IS "5900" and includes any touch ups if needed(ie,free right?)", before I had my primary rhinoplasty, does he have a right to charge me an additional 2000 dollars for anesthesia for revision rhino? He never specified I had to pay for anesthesia before I had my primary if things didn't go well. I don't think this is right and feel like I have been taken advantage of! ---- Ontario,CanadaUpdated on 23 Feb 2012:

This surgeon is absolutely terrible. He advertises himself as if he's good, and misleads you into thinking so. Has two surgeries done by him, both times very unsuccessful. He didn't even attemp to fix my deviated septum ( lazy) and didn't remove the full extent of my bump. Don't waste your hard earned money with him. He is one of the worst in Ontario.

Hi Ralph,
Sorry to hear about the problems you've had. Did you sign a contract? Your rights should be spelled out there, so try to get a copy from your doctor if you can.
A lot of surgeons don't charge a new fee for certain revisions, but do require the patient to pay OR fees, anesthesia, etc. This basically means their time is free, but the rest isn't. But if your surgeon said something different, I'd say you definitely have a right to hold him to it.
Good luck!
This is just my opinion but I think it would be tough to prove anything with the email alone. It's more a "lie of omission" than anything else. I forget if you mentioned signing a contract? All the fine print will be in there and that'll be the determining factor - there's probably an asterisk somewhere describing additional fees like anesthesia.
Maybe I'm too much of a pessimist but all he has to do is say that he did tell you, and then it's he said, he said. By all means though, I think you should pursue it with him. Nothing bad can come from trying!
My 2 cents.
