I did a huge mistake went to Ghent, Belgium and had a Rhinoplasty, and fat grafting, at this clinic by patrick Tonnard. He did a horrible job. Everything went horribly wrong. Completely opposite of what we agreed on. I had a normal, functional nose before the operation, and he gave me a crooked, insensitive nose with rounded tip, asymmetric nostrils, and besides all that I have problems breathing through one nostril.
Tonnard never contacted me for any check-ups! I was the one who approached him again and again, because I was very much unhappy with the results. but then he dismissed my problems and said i have to wait for another 1- 1.5 years.
The fact is, despite of almost 2 years waiting I have given Tonnard plenty of opportunities to rectify his mistakes.
It has been a nightmare communicating with Tonnard. He never has time. doesn't answer e-mails, and actually does´t care. I never thought it could be possible but he can be so rude, and hang up the phone on you.
I had also fat grafting under both eyes, and cheekbones. The results was good to start with, but again after almost 2 years everything is gone, and I am there when i was before the operation. waste of money again!
I DO NOT recommend Coupure Centrum or E:MC2 which is their surgical clinic located 14km south of Gent to anyone.
Save your money, Do your research, and find a better doctor. There are lots of good doctors out there.

Here you can clearly see how my nose looked like before the surgery, and how Tonnard destroyed it. Image 2 is taken 2.5 years after the surgery.
