I had standard rhinoplasty done in May 2017. I was not happy with result, nor was the surgeon, and a revision was done in Oct 2018. My nose has healed & it is now apparent that it not only doesn't match the morphs done by the surgeon, but my nose is now asymmetrical/squint/deformed. The surgeon is signed off sick so I can't communicate with him. I have contacted the hospital however express my concerns/ask for a refund. Where do I go from here? Is corrective surgery an option? Thank you
