I would like to voice a formal complaint on Doctor Lista and his services. Last year when I came in to do my rhinoplasty, I was very excited to finally be able to change the one thing that has made me insecure my whole life. I was a student at the time, and I barely had any money and I had to use all my savings possible (even some of my osap money) in order to even afford this surgery. The first consultation I had with him was very assuring, he told me he could do exactly what I was asking him to do with my nose, I asked him to make it smaller, and he said he would make it straighter as well as shorter. When I looked at the website before the consultation, I was under the impression that I would be receiving my digital photographing of my desired results closer to the surgery, or even before the surgery so I did not say anything during the consultation.
My surgery date was very far - so I put myself on the wait list. Next thing I know, the date available was extremely close, but when I saw Doctor Lista the second time before the surgery, there was no digital photographing, he had to ask me again on what I wanted with my nose - clearly forgetting the first conversation we had. He seemed rushed and unorganized - and then he was in the surgery room doing surgery on me.
My nose is not even close to being straighter and it is not smaller. I waited over a year for the swelling to go down so that I know for sure that I would need a revision - and when I came to see him, he took a 1 minute look at the nose and said, "it looks great." When I told him the profile is still a bit too big and needs to be shaped or smaller he said "nope it can't be any smaller...theres no chance of revision." and out he went. I know for a fact that there is a chance to do revision because when I posted my photo on real self - a lot of the plastic surgeons said they would shave off some of the cartilage on the bridge to make it lower. My whole experience has been extremely unpleasant, and I'm still stuck with the insecurity that I've had my whole life, only now, there's no way I can even afford to fix it.
