Revision SeptoRhinoplasty Dr Mangat - Cincinnati, OH

Dr Mangat made my nose much worse

$7,500
Notice the dent on the left and curving to the right and uneven nostrils. He made my nose so wide. My nose has been like this from the second month only getting worse and initially Dr Mangat kept saying it was all swelling for the first 5-6 months and later on he said that my nose looked perfect to him. Well it's going to be two years soon and as you can see my nose is much worse than it was pre op, not to mention he messed up my septum and I can't breathe well at all. Please stay away from this doctor, he didn't admit his mistake, rather made me feel as though I was making it up.

Just finished reading your entire story. Very sorry you are feeling bad about your results. I'm in the same situation---I'm so disappointed with my revision. I got a result totally different than what I hoped for. You are worried about the width of your bridge. I know when they shave a hump the nose looks wider. Also, do you have your op report? During your septorhinoplasty did the surgeon use spreader grafts on you? They will cause your bridge to look even wider. I know about this well because I got them. Best of luck in getting past this struggle, whether you choose another revision or not.

I did take the op report and he didn't use spreader grafts. Who did your surgery? I would like to stay away from that name. Are you considering a revision? I'm also considering a non surgical rhinoplasty. I'm just not sure which doctor to pick for a revision and a non surgical procedure seems like a short term solution with fewer risks.

Dr. Frankel did mine. He's a well-known guy out in LA. Supposed to be one of the best, but things just didn't turn out well with me. Yes, unfortunately I 100% for sure will need a revision. Whatever method you choose to fix your issues, I hope you get them all worked out. I know how difficult this situation is.

You can get help from a very skilled surgeon in Ankara, Turkey. Check Dr Taskin Yucel Instagram account and see his work. The prices for revision start from 2700£. This is the only surgeon that I would trust my face to again. I hope it helps. UK surgeon are just money thieves and don't even do great noses and then they don't take responsibility for their mistakes as well. Hang in there. xx

I'm so sorry this happened to you. You definitely are not making anything up about your outcome. This probably won't help, but my surgical outcome is similar and my doctor blamed swelling, etc. until 6 months and then began to have a different tune. She has never been straightforward and accountable and I believe she never will.
I hope no matter what the your future is filled with peace, whether through revision or not.
I would not trust this surgeon again with revision or anything else if you do decide to travel down that path.
Also, it might help someone else if you report this to the board. Not that you have to, but something to consider.

Sorry for you. I am in the same situation. It's a nightmare like you say it. A m not breathing well too, my strut columellar graft is displaced to the left, and with this the alars graft too.my septum protruding in the frontal view with the smile...your surgeon isn't a profesional because it's obviously that your result is not good. This is better than the result because a surgery that not see his fails make you to be worst.Are you visited other surgeon?

It's a nightmare!

So it's going to be two years post op in Feb, and I live with the regret every single day that I picked Dr Mangat to do my septorhinoplasty. I still have difficulty breathing and yes my nose looks much worse than it did pre op. I wish I had never been recommended to go to this doctor. I'm still too scared to get another surgery done, what if it gets even worse :(

Bad results with Dr Mangat

Silverlining9
Almost 15 months post op and not only does my nose look bad I have horrible breathing issues. He kept telling me it was swelling and my bridge would narrow down. After a year he told me that's the best he could do and narrowing the bridge would compromise my breathing! Well clearly the bridge is wider now and breathing is much worse. At the same time he blames allergies. I can't believe I trusted him so much. He has my money and he ruined my breathing and the shape of my nose. My pics speak for themselves.

I'm sorry you had to go through this and it's even worse when you breathing issues. I would do some research and get a second opinion. I hope you find a skilled surgeon soon to help you. Please keep us posted.

Thanks, I thought Dr Mangat was skilled , it's really hard for me to trust another doctor at this point, but I'm doing research, I really want to be able to breathe better and fix this mess Dr Mangat has left me with. He thinks my nose looks just fine and he can't see the asymmetry! He tells me that my septum and my nose are both very straight! If this is the best he can do than you can imagine how skilled he is.

I'm sorry for what you've been through. It's unfair and disappointing after the time, money and hope that went into getting the surgery and going through recovery. How frustrating that your surgeon is in denial about (or refuses to acknowledge) the issues he caused. I agree with the recommendation that others have made to look into other surgeons to help you move forward. You deserve a surgeon who earns your trust and helps you feel hopeful. Thank you for sharing your experience.
