Photos that make me sick to my stomach.

$6,500
So I have left some blind good reviews before, because I didn’t expect what followed. I didn’t want to believe this could happen to me. These photos make me SICK to my stomach and they should make him and his office sick as well. Not one person in that office can support this, especially the stitch job. I am writing this after finally having a closed revision in November 2020, but you can see the horrendous scar and the pollybeak deformity he gave me. There is 1 photo of my November 2020 revision and yes I still have the stitch job scar but we plan on fixing that sometime this year when I can afford it! This doctor should have his license revoked and I should get a full refund besides anesthesia fees :/ Check out the photos. Pollybeak could have been dealt with easier if it wasn’t for the stitch job. That’s unacceptable and I will be amazed if I ever got an apology. Whoever did this, butchered me. If I could sue him I would have. I still don’t kno if it was a trainee that operated on me. :/Why would you do this to a young woman, the pollybeak is one thing but for the last 3 years I have felt like I could rip open my nose by how horribly stitched together it is. :( who lets this extreme disfigurement happen under their supervision..

This doctor ruined my early 20’s. My nose was ok before swelling went down, I was so blinded by the fact that my weird initial birth nose was gone that I didn’t realize he had given me a polly beak. Also, I still don’t know who stitched me back up but it wasn’t this doctor. You or trainee were completely careless with the stitch job and I’m paying for it years later. It’s horrible, how could he let me off the operating table the way he did? Did a trainee operate on me? I have no god damn clue. Please review photos. I stopped going into stores, I lost my damn mind, I stopped seeing my family, I lost friends, I lost my smile, I stopped liking myself in general, I became suicidal, I withdrew from living a normal happy life. No one wanted to talk to me with visibly butchered columella like that, they couldn’t stop staring at it. And his office still tried to come after me for more money. For Christ sakes, a surgeon in Boston asked me if I had WEGNERS disease (a disease that can ruin the nose, basically) because it was so curved and skinny. Fast forward three years, I finally got my nose revised thru a closed revision by a great doctor, Dr. O, in Somerville. Dr C, I don’t know what you did to me but you should pay for the psychological damage you caused. You shaved off 3 years of my life, along with a lot of bone. You told me you were just going to bring it back to my face!!! Not make it look like a literal “C” with a horrible stitch job. I can’t really say scar because you literally did not line the incision up. Photos speak for themselves. I’m almost certain you allowed a trainee to touch me without informing me. I’ve never been the same and I’m horrified my father went to you after for a nasal polyp removal and septoplasty. My current surgeon took a nasal polyp out of my right sinus 2 years later that took up 75% of my nasal cavity. I wish nothing more but for you and your office to review my photos, this review, and understand why I feel sick to my stomach every time I look at these photos, think of the past, think of how everyone looked at me at home and at work, think of how terrible and careless you were to me. A young woman who your office harassed for more money after telling me I was all set and couldn’t have surgery without paying in full. A young woman who did NOTHING to you, for you to allow someone else to stitch me up like this. A young woman who spent $6500 to look like a circus freak.

Please don’t share my photos. This was the lowest few years of my life. I traded in a cleft nose for this patchwork beak.
** sorry I mean, random people please don’t share on websites- thank you!! :(
I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I see the parentheses thing, but only in that one picture. In all other pictures, your nose looks normal.

You look amazing and SYMMETRICAL! I'm so happy for you. I'm from the North Shore area and I'm heavily considering Dr. C to correct my crooked/collapsed nose and uneven nostrils. Did you have uneven nostrils beforehand as well?
I would highly recommend him as he also specializes in revision and so has special attention to details or complex cases such as collapse or crooked septum. My nostrils were a bit widened from the previous surgeon i had when my nose was reduced in certain areas the nostrils naturally flared more. One nostril is also slightly pulled up as well which i still havnt addressed yet but is from past surgeon. I plan on asking doctor chrzanowski in the near future what can be done to fix it. I wanted to wait for the slight nostril reduction to heal but from what i read online it can sometimes be fixed with a little filler stuff. Best of luck to you : )

Little swelling, so happy, last post most likely

Just saw Dr. C again today, it was a great visit! These are photos from today, and surprisingly I’ve been super good at keeping the swelling low, it’s a secret ;) but I’m super happy and so ready to continue life without that old nose. SO READY to bring in the New Year with less anxiety and paranoia, and more smiles and fun. Thanks again ??
