These are the before from 3/9/ 2016, after primary from 7/29/2016, and after revision from December 4 & 6, 2016. Please someone tell me if the frontal post revision photo of my nose looks anything like normal? The final frontal view is from 12/6/2016 after I saw Dr. Hicks in his office and he told me that my nose looked better than before.

I'm still awake at 4a.m. writing because…

I'm still awake at 4a.m. writing because i'm angry as hell. I called Dr. Hicks on the after hours number at about 3:30 a.m. to demand that he tell me what he did to me. He said that I was waking him and his family up and that he had a long day. I told him that he deserved to be woken up and I texted a photo of my ugly nose to him and demanded to get a REAL Operative Report as opposed to the fake one that he handed to me in his office during my appointment earlier in the day. The Op Report was dated before I even had the surgery and falsely stated that I originally had a "large dorsal hump". Then to top it off Dr. Hicks charged me $15.00 for four, one-sided pages of reports....smh. I found out about the Op Report after contacting someone else whom I'm going to have examine my nose to find out what the hell happened. If Dr. Hicks put any type of filler in my nose without informing me then he has the lowest of moral standards and doesn't deserve to practice medicine at all. One of his patients tried to warn me, but she was one out of all the other 5 star reviews that he had online. Oh and he's good at trying to blame the patient for his mistakes. He'll tell you to do one thing , then immediately tell you to do the opposite so that way if you say you did this or that, he'll say you shouldn't have. Example: He'll say massage your nose, then said don't massage it because you might make it crooked again. He said after the first surgery that the bone could still be moved out of place if you massage it; when I stated that I wouldn't do that because I didn't want to have to go through another surgery, he said "No the bone is set you can massage it....wth. Anyway he tried to set up another appointment for me to come back, but that will NEVER happen because I was only there to get my Op Report in the first place.

Continuing from the previous…

Continuing from the previous review....Before the surgery the doctor's assistant emailed my instructions for surgery and under the heading "Surgery to be Performed" it stated Revision Rhinoplasty-removal of silicone nasal implant. I found this extremely odd because I had never requested any type of implant, nor was I aware that one was put in. I immediately called the office and asked for an explanation and was told, "Oh it's whatever you and the doctor discussed". I had to demand that the instructions be corrected to reflect that I was having rhinoplasty without an implant in order for it to be changed...that wasn't offered by the assistant. Anyhow the day of surgery November 11, 2016 seemed to go as planned. When the surgery was complete the doctor told me that he had gotten all of the bump shaved down. Right before I went in for surgery, I specifically told Dr. Hicks that there was a hump on the top still, as well as the bump on the side. He said he didn't think so and that he just needed to do the side and it would be fine. He had warned me about all this so-called extra swelling that I would get after the revision, but that never happened. My right eye was puffy and swollen for two days and the mild bruising under the same eye healed completely in about two weeks. After the first surgery, the bruising was very bad and took almost 3 months for the grayish tones to disappear completely. I point this out because this lets me know that things were done differently this time; beside the fact that I had my nose broken the first time which caused more bruising. I took the bungled up tape out of my nose after the first day because there wasn't too much bleeding and it was only a nuisance. I immediately noticed that the stitches were at a different location than after the first surgery. Instead of being in the bottom rim, inside my nostrils, they were at the upper crease where my nostrils flare on the inside. It looked to me like some sort of imprint was under my skin that was showing up lumpy. I thought that maybe he had gone through that direction in order to shave the bump down, but then that would seem odd because it seems there would be a risk of tearing the skin to do that. Anyhow I shrugged it off as just swelling even though it was never red or bruised in that area. After almost a month now that "swelling" hasn't subsided not even a bit. The right side of my nose looks abnormally large compared to the left side. It feels like there is fat padding underneath, which I suspect to be some sort of filler. I honestly believe that Dr. Hicks did not perform any revision surgery on me, but used a filler without my permission. I can still feel the old curved bump under my skin, but it's being camouflaged by the lump of filler or whatever he put under my skin. To add to that my right profile still has a hump because there was nothing done to it during the revision.
