Hi There! At my 4mos post op appt. my Dr. told me he would no longer be seeing me. I paid 20K for this surgery. I never felt welcomed,I was amazed at how catty & immature his staff was. That's beside the point. He's a well known Dr.here.Why would be say this? Now I'll be seen on an "as needed basis" if probs arise. I won't be having a 1yr post op appt.for my final results! Is this normal because I find it absurd! VERY unhappy!This was a revolving door situation!
Answer: Follow-up I'm sorry to here that you're having a negative experience with your surgeon. I would recommend that you reach out to your surgeon and have a discussion regarding your feelings about what was said and how you feel you were treated. It's very likely that your surgeon will do everything in their power to remedy the relationship.

Answer: Long-term follow up after rhinoplasty: Long-term follow up after rhinoplasty: I have, over the years, had the opposite problem. I would love to see all my patients at the one year mark to see the long-term results, but almost no one keeps their long-term follow up appointments. Rarely do people return after the 2 to 4 month mark, and some don’t even come in for that.

Answer: You can certainly schedule an anniversary visit with your surgeon. We like to see all of our patients five times within the first year of surgery since it takes a full year for healing to be completed after rhinoplasty. Based on your narrative, your surgeon agreed to see you as needed. If any issues arise, you can certainly request to be seen and in any case, you can schedule an anniversary visit to look at your before and after photos. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty The important thing is whether you are happy with your result. If you are, there is no reason to be seen after four months. However the as needed basis indicates that if there is a problem you could go back. Behavior of staff like that however is inexcusable
