I am very self conscious about the way my revision turned out. This is my second rhinoplasty and Its going to be a year this December since I got my procedure done. I am so emotionally drained, embarrassed and depressed with my results. Immediately after my cast was taken off I could tell my nose was wider down the bridge and bigger at the tip. My nose was huge. Dr Z insisted it was just swollen. My nose went down a slight bit over the months but remains incredibly big and wider than it use to be. He did straighten out the bridge by making my nose wider, however I never went into Dr. Azizzadeh office and asked him if he could make my nose wider and bigger! I went in and asked if my nose could be made slimmer, straighten out the bridge, make my nostrils symmetrical and make my nose appear more Feminine. The day prior to surgery Dr. Z advised he would not my correct my nostrils and he would see if I was unhappy after my recovery and if needed he would make a minor adjustment. I was very upset but figured he knew best. I wish he had explained this to me prior to me paying him to be my surgeon than I would have continued to look for the surgeon who could correct these problems. surgeons should be upfront with the results they can and cannot make so that we the customers could choose to continue shopping around if the procedure is too complicated for them to correct. My life so far has been an emotional roller coaster, because I have to be a mom and not allow my nose to get the best of me. I have to be there for my children. I know I am more than my appearance, my children will love me regardless of how I look and for this reason only I will continue to smile for them. This surgery has caused me many problems in my marriage because of depression, I don't want to work, or leave the house as I feel everyone is staring at my nose. I want nothing more than to correct this surgery yet currently we cannot afford it. I go back to Dr Z for a follow up consultation this December. I will keep my review updated and let you know how my journey ends.

Forgot to mention my breathing problems which I now have
BBB_3September 23, 2016
Prior to my surgery I had no problems breathing out of my nose, now I feel suffocated mostly at night. Hardly any air is able to come in and out of the right side of my nose. I breath mostly from my left side which also feels restricted, yet it is more durable than the right side. At night when I go to bed it is the absolute worst feeling ever. I can't sleep and when I do I wake up constantly because of the lack of air. This can be extremely uncomfortable. I do the nasal rinse as I was advised however it isn't helping at all with the right side. Crying about it only makes breathing out of my nose worse but sometimes I find it hard to back tears of regret.

omg. i'm so sad for you. i had the same kind of thing but more was taken off mine. i was pretty and i'm very ashamed now. it was a different surgeon but terribly sad.
September 23, 2016
i hope he gives you your money back to seek another doctor.
September 25, 2016
I actually dont have any money to go anywhere for now I quit work so I'm stuck for the time being.

Oh my gosh sweetie , I just don't think it's a good idea to go back there if you're even thinking about it. He needs to refund you . So you can seek help somewhere else. It would be the ethical thing for him to do. What he did here is mind boggling , and I don't know you but I feel very concerned and upset . I never liked Dr Azzizedeh anyways , his style doesnt not appeal to me , but as an ethnic man/surgeon, he should know better tHan to take away from and ethnic womans features like this. Especially your tip . Shame on him.

Please read my comment in your surgery w Dr A do not go back he cant do revisions period!
September 27, 2016
i feel so sad. i come here a few times a day and literally don't know how to help. sending you love babe.
September 27, 2016
I agree , don't go back . I'm so disappointed in him . Like I said , I've never liked his work , but this threw me over the top . He's not good at ethnic rhinoplasty being an ethnic man :-/ or rhinoplasty period . Highly Overrated . Major grafter , which is fine if you need it , but you have to be talented enough to use them . Make sure they are small and slim . The only doctors I've seen thus far who have talent in that area are dr. Donald b yoo , Jason Hamilton , and Richard Davis . They excel . You can't even tell people are grafted . Big hugs . Wishing you the very best .. Sincerely !

Surgeons don't usually give refunds as it comes with additional legal issues, the surgeons on here have talked about it before, sorry x
September 28, 2016
That's not true , the ethical ones do. I know people who have gotten refunded . This is not just a dent that she's complaint about . Something was seriously done wrong here , on top of the fact , she can't breathe . For that he should do what's right so this woman can move on peacefully

"Refunds are a very difficult topic in plastic surgery. From a legal and logistic point of view, refunds are seen as a reportable occurrence to the American board of Plastic Surgery, and as such most plastic surgeons are not inclined to provide a refund."

dr davis made my nose huge and bulky with grafts. i don’t think any of them know what they are doing

@changedmymind I seen Andres Bustillo in Fl and It was a massive waste of time. Firstly, he’s nothing of what people describe in reviews. He has an attitude and not very patient in my opinion. Not conservative. He wanted to changed my curved nose into a straight, short, pointy masculine nose. Told me I needed numerous grafts that I knew would make my nose wonky. After that consult, I was done with FL. After being on this site for a while I’ve realized most of his overwritten reviews must not be real. I’ve gotten a good feel of this site. People must be careful on here.

Wow, sorry to hear about that. What did the doc have to say about your results? What kind of grafts did he use? I'm 4.5 months post op from an extremely disappointing revision with a guy I thought was supposed to be the best. The results have been devastating. I hope you get some good answers and find a solution to this problem.
September 25, 2016
Right same to you this is a horrible horrible feeling. I go back in December which will be a year and see what he says
September 24, 2016
I'm so sorry that you don't like your result. Did He tell you what type of grafts he used?
April 23, 2019
He said he would take either from ear or rib . First visit after the surgery I was told he used AUTOLOGUS cartilage! We never discussed that! It was supposed to be my own! For a recent consult I requested surgery notes etc. I got it and I read it. to my big surprise there was not one time that Dr.mentioned my concerns and unhappiness about the results. Needless to say my reaccuring infections were not mentioned there U fortunately for an official complaint too much time passed by. Ism still looking for a revision Doctor and $$$. Breathing difficulties got collapsed on the left side and twisted. I hope people read out reviews and do not chose this Doctor for revisions!
