My Rhinoplasty, a disaster!!! Dr Pichet Rodchareon

To begin with the whole email experience went very well. Brisk replies to emails and although the English was broken I could understand his replies. He knew all the terminology I was conveying to him after the research I had conducted. After a $500 deposit into his Thailand bank account a date was set in Feb '18. I arrived at the airport, I was collected from the airport and taken to a hotel, which I paid for but with which Dr Pichet Rodchareon suggested. The hotel was basic but adequate considering I was using it for recovery purposes. I booked the hotel for 1 week but stayed in Thailand for a further 2 weeks just in case of issues. I had the surgery under anaesthetic and stayed at his surgery in Bangkok to recover from the anaesthetic. The same day I was brought back to the hotel, an overnight stay was offered but I was fine to go back to the hotel. The swelling over the next few days was pretty severe, like going a few rounds with Mike Tyson. The swelling did not phase me as I knew it could be bad. 5 Days later I got the packing out from my nose and I was shown my nose for the first time. It was squint and huge but I did not panic as I had read the nose takes 3-6 months for full recovery. Although huge, which shocked me, the nose looked very flat to me on the bridge, the tip looked better too. I was moderately happy After 2 weeks I did however contact Dr Pichet to say that my nose did not look right to me and that i was worried. He mentioned that due to tissue swelling things looked out of place. So I accepted that and waited for the recovery. As the swelling subsided I gradually started to notice things which I was not happy about and which were now showing me that the surgery was unsuccessful. I had gone for a rhinoplasty and tippoplasty. I asked for a nose reduction and reshaping, this included smoothing a small hump on the bridge of my nose but more importantly reshape the tip which I did not like at all for years. Now over 5 months down the line I am certain the result is not successful. My nose is not straight from the front view, it is evident the tip points to one side and one nostril is much higher than the other side. In addition where the bump was I now have an indentation, looks like someone has hit me with a hammer precisely where the hump was. The tip looked better when it was done but over the months it started to slightly dip down again, a big mistake. It's like I now have the opposite problem from a bump, a big dent and the bone is a mess. From the profile view the bone is terrible, it is bumpy/ uneven and the tip if thick. My nose is slightly smaller and the shape is different but it is very far from what I would call a satisfactory job. I have no idea what surgical tools were used but I am 100% convinced he is either negligent, incapable or does not have the professional tools for the job or else I would not have these problems/ visual mistakes. So in summary my nose was too big, the tip was pointy and slightly arched down and I had a bump on the bridge. Now my nose is slightly smaller but I have a very thick bridge and wider on one side, the tip points off at an angle and I have a dent like someone has hit my nose hard with a hammer. The bone is terribly bumpy and easy to see its wrong. I do not know what to say to people now if they ever ask me what happened. It has got steadily worse over the last 2 months. I email Dr Pichet his work very recently and he offered a correction. No chance!! I will now need to consider whether to go for further corrective surgery somewhere else. This is a huge operation to undergo and not so sure I want to try it again. I will upload the photos to show you the results. Make your own mind up. Do not be fooled by this Dr's brisk emails and responses, when it comes to Rhinoplasty take a look at my nose and ask yourself is this good work? The answer is an obvious NO! in my opinion. I am devastated to take such time off my work to undergo this botched up job.

I am pleased that a year after Butcher Rodchareon destroyed my nose it has been fixed at a further cost of £4500. I have very little swelling and the bruising is 100 times better than the butcher Rodchareon managed to do. The UK Dr said the work carried out by Rodchareon was so poor he could not believe his eyes. Avoid this cowboy, he has no business being in plastic surgery. I am so angry right now that I trusted this amateur.
