The selling is completely gone the nose looks hideous deviated septum to one side uneven nostrils tip collapse to the left more visible and over projected the nose bridge too far from the face as well as the tip, nostrils swing open like batwings when I smile...and so on...long story short I am looking for a REAL SKILLED ARTIST in revision rhinoplasty. Realself is not helpful in finding one as just about anyone can call him or herself and expert. Dr. Azzizadeh is not capable of complex revision surgeries. If you are in need of a revision any kind of revision chose another surgeon. There are several people on realself who were operates by Dr. Azzizadeh and are dealing with similar issues. Again as a person the Doctor is really nice however he does not possess the skills for a difficult revision Rhinoplasty. I have been left with breathing issues and depression minus 20K. If anyone knows of a REAL expert in revision rhinoplasty please email me direct.

Three years after surgery. Definitely NOT worth it. Left me depressed and unhappy.

Sorry about your suffering. It is a painful journey but if you have the money and the energy to go through it again find a good surgeon and fix it. ​

My dilemma is how to find a good surgeon! I have lost faith since almost everyone I would consider has good but also devastating bad reviews on realself. Really need to do it asap though have more issues w breathing and sinuses.
September 24, 2016
did you ever get your money back? i hope you are okay.
October 6, 2016
Nope he offered to re do it but I am hesitant since he didn't do a good job the first time around however because of the financial aspect I might consider at the end. Not sure very unhappy.

Almost all surgeons offer free revisions, speak to your surgeon and I'm sure they'll want to help, hope you get the help you need x
October 6, 2016
Yes he did offer to re do it however he didn't do the job the first time why should I believe he can do it second time around? I am tempted to do it because we do not have 20K to spend on an another Doctor but I am also really really scared. He used cadaver graft vs my rib he did everything we did not talk about.
October 10, 2016
Did he say he would use rib and then use cadaver?! If you go to him again he will likely make it worse and delay the possibility of you fixing it with a better surgeon. It would still cost money in the way of hospital fees etc so its not really a free revision.

Sorry wasn't on realself for a while..yes we discussed specifically rib graft and ear. Everything came out different then discussed. I am now the fourth year past surgery and it got worse. The nose has no support on the left side and it collapsed more I guess the scar tissue and the deviated septum he didn't correct make it difficult to breathe and I have more sinus issues. Seriously this is so not fair that Doctors screw up your face and continue to call themselves EXPERTS doing the same thing to other people while we the patients have no power to sue nor anything else. I cant wait to have it corrected for real however I really do not know whom to chose as almost everyone has bad and good reviews. I would never go with Dr. Z. again!!! Total incompetence for revision rhinoplasty!

Hi any updates on what Dr Z said ? Did you fix your nose with him or go elsewhere please update us thank you

Hi there
No I have not fixed it with him because I am scared. He didn't do a good job the first time why should I think he can do it a second time plus he used cadaver vs my own rib graft and we talked about ear and rib. Everything came different. This was barely if not less three hour surgery, for this difficult nose tip build up it would require four+ according other doctors I have consulted with recently. If I would ever decide to go with him then because we do not have 20K to throw out again.

Can you post some pre-op photos? They'd be incredibly useful to see what you can to Dr. Z with.

Very unhappy and depressed

Attached are pictures of the nose tip. It is plain ugly and reminds me of Ms Piggy from Sesame Street. Thank God I still have some humor left ! But actually it is rather depressing. My Doctor prescribed Wellbutrin because I am so selfconcious about my appearance that I do not want to go out. Not to grocery store, mall nor dinner with my husband. I feel everyone is staring at my nose. I ended up with Depression.

I am so sorry to hear that. my nose looks yours and also ended up with depression. I unfortunately will also need a revision. looks like too much may have come of your bridge and that your nose was deprojected? inbox me if you like...so sorry you are struggling.

First, I want to say something and I hope it doesn't come off as rude or condescending: I would never stare at your nose and I do not think anyone ever would. Your nose looks like a nose -- like the average nose. SO many people have slightly asymmetric noses. Your nose looks fine. That being said, yes, it sucks to get an asymmetric/undesirable nose after spending thousands of dollars on a surgery. So I understand being depressed about the situation, but please go out and live a normal life. Easier said than done, I know, but it's not worth it! :( And mind you, I'm saying all this after living for 6.5 years with a nose I hated and hid, and I also avoided big social situation just because of my nose. However, I wish I could tell my past self that no one cared or even noticed my nose. Sorry, I hope this message doesn't seem aggressive -- it's just my passion about this issue coming through. I really do wish you the best of luck in getting the results you desire! Keep us updated!

It's 2016 2 1/2 years after my revision and my nose looks worse then before. Dr. A offered to re do it. Just because I do not have smother $20k I'm tempted to have him re do it however this time I really want him to work on me and NOT the assistant.
September 20, 2016
Wow he did my nose too and I hate it he made my nose bigger and wider than it it ever was sooo depressing after I paid the same amount you paid and he promised high expectations I am really saddened about my appearance
