Just Had my Septoplasty! - Thornhill, ON

Terrible experience.

carmillafox
$8,200

At first I thought that this doctor was the right one for me since he made me feel very comfortable and was honest about what I should expect for a rhinoplasty. After I paid the money in full everything seemed so rushed. I wanted my nose smaller and my tip refined. However, my surgery only lasted an hour and he only shaved down my dorsal hump. No one can even tell I had surgery everyone says it looks the exact same. My nose is still large and I'm so upset I wasted so much money. I spoke to three girls afterwards who had the same surgery with him and they all said they experienced the same thing with Dr. Solomon. I was so excited for so long to have this done, and there's barely any differences. I drove two and a half hours to see him every time and was only with him each time for about 5 mins. Terrible experience and I wish I had gone somewhere else. It actually makes me cry sometimes because I can't believe I went through all of that time, money and pain for the end result to be so unsatisfactory.

Each time I drove 2.5 hours to come to the office I saw the doctor for 5 min maximum. I don't particularly feel like wasting gas and time again. It's been 5 months and I am still very unhappy with the results as my surgery was only an hour long, therefore there wasn't much done to change it. Thanks for taking my 7,300!

I hear you. I did it twice. He spent less than 5 minutes both times. I had to call them in 2019 to book for my AFTER pictures. I had my procedure in 2013 !! And also in 2017 to fix the first problem (bigger mistake). Please PLEASE everyone, if you have a gut feeling in your consultation (and you will since you'll be waiting so long for him) , go with your gut. Not telling people what to do but listen to your second brain (the gut)!.

Absolutely pissed

carmillafox
So I paid 7300 just for the doctor to remove a small dorsal hump on my nose. He didn't change the width or the tip. I've talked to three other girls afterwards who have had their nose done by dr Solomon and their noses are still large too. I cannot believe I trusted him to actually make any changes. A waste of time and money.

I'm curious why you had to pay for a septoplasty if you are in Ontario. Usually it's covered by OHIP?

I am curious about why you paid for any surgery? are you not an Ontario resident?

It sounds like you were expecting results of a rhinoplasty rather than a septoplasty, both of which take very long to see or feel results I might add.

Cast is off

carmillafox
So my cast is off and honestly it doesn't look like Dr. Solomon did anything but shave the tiny dorsal hump I had. I'm so upset. I guess I just have to wait 2-3 months for the swelling to go down, but I'm pissed. He's always rushing me every time I go in. I wish I would've went else where.

Hi. Please try not to worry, I had alsorts going through my head after my septoplasty and I had a turbinate reduction too. I kept checking in the mirror. It takes time to heal, months. What are you using in terms of aftercare?
October 14, 2016
it just seems so large still, I'm so upset. All of my friends say they see no change at all.. I wasn't expecting a total different nose but I was expecting him to make the changes he said he would make. I was only in surgery for an hour, he barely took any time to focus on what I asked him I wanted done and what he told me he would do. :(

Unfortunately septoplasys typically aren't cosmetic at all and won't make a difference externally :/ you'd have to get a septorhinoplasty which involves internal and external work. I almost got a septoplasty thinking it'd fix how crooked my nose looks but that is when multiple surgeons told me I would need a septorhinoplasty not a septoplasty by itself :(

This is so frustrating because the Dr told me he would be changing the look of my nose and that's the whole reason I went in. I just feel so upset because I was looking so forward to this for so long and it's just not how I thought it would turn out :(
