In the UK 2004 I had rhinoplasty and Septoplasty...

In the UK 2004 I had rhinoplasty and Septoplasty done to my nose for functionality and widen nose from trauma injury since the age of 12. The high profile surgeon in the UK was in summary egocentric and arrogate and never listened to my goals and desires of the surgery which were realistic as I was happy with my side profile of my nose but not with the front visual look due to widening of the nose. The UK had basically taken away my nose and made it flat, then he tried to force me to say that is what i wanted, he finally agreed to rectify his mistake for "free" however he installed animal tissue in my nose that basically became infected over two years and the bone was piercing through my skin and the tip of the nose was actually in the middle of my nose. I now would not like to be seen in public, it effective my self esteem, job opportunities and ability to earn more money. Then he retired very quickly due to my proceedings to take him to court. Then for 7 years i was unhappy and i would stay away from being in too much light as the light would show the defects of my nose. My wife was tired of my constant touching of my nose, hiding in public and from pictures, she researched a revision surgeon in Ohio that dealt with extreme cases of bad nose surgeries and investigated on where to go and whom to see? We moved to the US in 2011 and we were expecting our first child in 2012 and my wife did not want my low self esteem to rub off to our new born child.  This is where she found whom I call 'My Angel' Dr R Gentile from Cleveland OHIO. as soon as i met this person he was accommodating, he listened and asked me what my goals were with another surgery? I showed him a picture of when I was still unhappy with my nose in terms of the width of the front of my nose but i was happy with the side profile and my breathing in physical activity was 50% better than when I had the bad surgery done. Dr Gentile asked "why do you want to go back to this profile and shape when it was severely traumatized" I said that my nose after the bad surgery was worst in function and effected the one thing I loved doing and that was to work out and the shape of my nose was deformed" Dr Gentile at that point felt bad for me and you could see it in his eyes and tried to suggest that tough it was collapsed and deformed that surgery may not be possible due to the amount of times someone had touched it an severely damaged my functionality as well as visual looks. As we discussed further he had smiled and said "however in most surgeons cases including myself many would not touch your nose due to liability as we do not know when we open your nose up, how bad it is? in your case I feel for you and your story and the first thing you show me is a picture of when you were young before any damage, then when you were unhappy with the width and breathing however you were happy with the side profile and was willing to put up with it if you know the future of your nose was a lot worst."  He teared up with my story and with what my wife had told him too and decided to take my case on. This is when 'My Angel' Dr R Gentile in Ohio, changed my world, my families world and made me a happier person. Dr Gentile had taken 5 hours of surgery time if not more as my nose was extremely collapsed and deformed. When i was in surgery Dr Gentile had realized how bad this was BUT my miracle surgeon had never less performed a miracle and now as you see my nose is 10 times better than it was when I had the bad surgery done, actually it is a lot finer and finer than its original shape before UK surgery. The functionality of my nose and breathing is incredible as I am able to run for long periods and also work out more effectively as I do not have a shortness of breath. THIS MAN IS AN ANGEL AND I THANK DR R GENTILE FROM CLEVELAND OHIO FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY....

Dr Gentil was attentive, kind, listened to my needs, understanding and made me full comfortable. He was confident in his ability to better the outcomes of my nose with functionality and visual looks. I was very uneasy with going under the knife again after all the trauma I death with when I had my surgery done badly twice before by the same person. Dr Gentiles staff were reassuring and had confidence in Dr Gentiles ability to rectify my nose. Dr Gentile is a miracle worker and an angel and I am indebted to him, he saved my life and helped me be better with my self confidence and ability to go on and achieve my dreams in my professional career, so I thank Dr R Gentile for changing my life, thank you.
