Botched rhinoplasty with Dr Paul O'Keeffe

ORIGINAL POST

botched rhinoplasty

leilajb
Dr Paul O'Keeffe didn't perform what he said he would and left me with a very ugly nose (a dent on one side, a bump on the other, wider nose, too curvy, my nose was a mess!! my family and I were extremely sad about my results), breathing was not good and I was depressed for more than a year looking at my botched nose everyday! Refused to refund me what he charged me for and did not do/poorly performed. When I sent an email kindly asking to be refunded what he did not perform this is what I got as a reply "You are making a threat to defame Dr O’Keeffe.
He is handing this matter to his legal advisor."I had to get a revision rhinoplasty with another surgeon overseas that lasted 8 hours with rib cartilage and of course pay a lot due to Dr O'Keeffe damages!! My revision with a skilled and true surgeon saved my face and mental health!I had to get a surgery consultant to pick the right surgeon for me, travel overseas, spend 20k on a revision and go through all the discomfort and pain again! Avoid this surgeon at all cost.

Your review gives me hope that I can get my botched rhinoplasty fixed. Thanks for posting this. It's crazy how bad some doctors are, but thank god there are good ones out there to save us from the bad ones.

Can you please dm me the name of the consultancy? I need help finding the best revision surgeon for my botched facelift. Local plastic surgeons don't think they can fix it. I appreciate their honesty

Thank you for posting this. I’ve had a similar experience with the same doctor and no one in Sydney nor London would do a revision for me. No one wants to touch it. I gave up and now wear glasses and hair half covering my face to try to hide it - it’s pinched with a strong bone structure/edge and it’s obvious I’ve had rhino which is embarrassing. I’ve had many people ask me over the years if ie had rhino.It looks like an early 90s result. Maybe your doctor will help me.

Revision done by a DIFFERENT SURGEON

leilajb
I am now 6 months post op for my revision. Because Dr Paul O'Keeffe went so aggressively and botched my nose, my talented surgeon had to use rib cartilage to correct the deformity. I am so happy with my results and can not thanks enough my surgeon overseas!! This is exactly what I wanted, a small and cute nose. He was surprised by Paul O'keeffe '"methods" of "bone graft" and what he done to my nose.

since the dr who fixed used rib on your bridge and tip, do you feel pain /tension?
August 20, 2020
No :)

Honestly leila your a FRAUD , I had a look at your pictures and I examined them , the fact you flipped your photos and photograph your self so close where in one picture your nose looks beyond beautiful and in the next it look completely different, I can only make an inference that your extremely calculating misleading and your simply ought to get Dr Paul.
August 28, 2020
but thank you for your examination you must be Paul OK assistant or admin xx

I would happily share MORE photos from EVERY ANGLE of my BOTCHED primary rhinoplasty done by PAUL O'KEEFFE and of my revision done by a true expert!
August 28, 2020
Please do before and after pictures ... I I'm a patient only , he performed scar revision on the nose region with a 100% success rate . His work is extremely outstanding in terms of artistic skills , this was supported by the testimony of several of his patients on line and in the waiting room to which it was insinuated that not only Dr had superior skills but his patients were extremely pleased with his performance. So once supportive evidence is adduced suggesting in the alternative, then I have no option but to rebut the presumption where a botched rhinoplasty has taken place .

Paul o’keeffe botched my nose and I had go get it fixed by another surgeon, end of the story. He is unskilled and outdated for RHINOPLASTY, maybe he can deliver good results for something else but definitely not an expert for noses. I put plenty of photos to show the disaster on my face and how it’s beautiful now.
August 30, 2020
Omg lucky i saw this :O...... there is almost nothing about him online thanks for sharing wouldn't risk to go, your nose was beautiful to start with, mine is similar as well i need finesse work!!! I'm thinking to go with Dr Shahidi.
August 30, 2020
Shahidi seems amazing, I actually wanted him to do my revision rhinoplasty but he refused because Paul O’Keeffe apparently used “bone grafts” and he was worried about it! Even the surgeon that did my revision was surprised by his methods and work, I’ve done a CT scan (where we can see the bones) and he told me that my nose was shaved too aggressively and that o’keeffe did not narrow my nose as we could see the bones on the sides where untouched!! I would definitely go to Shahidi if I had to go back in time and avoid Paul O’Keeffe.

MORE PHOTOS OF MY BOTCHED NOSE BY PAUL O’KEEFFE

leilajb
I just thought I’d share more photos of my nose after 1.5 post op, I took them before my revision rhinoplasty done by a different surgeon( Dr Enrico Robotti from Italy). As you can see my nose was completely destroyed, with a dent and a bump, wide and big
