Sandy Sule ruined my nose, did unnecessary (very agressive) procedures without my consent and LEFT a SURGICAL DRESSING INSIDE!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was considering him before I saw your review.
UPDATED FROM needachin28
NEW "SURPRISE"
needachin28October 2, 2016
Hi dear realselfers!
First of all I want to apologize for not reaponding to your private messages, i'm not trying to ignore you, just was very busy and sick.
So when I thought that there is nothing worse could happened, and that I've been trough so much with this surgery, new "surprise" has occurred. It's been 9,5 months since the surgery and I've been having another sinus infection mainly on the left side. While blowing my nose I felt something deep inside the left nostril, I took a q-tip and pulled something long (about 3,5-4 in). It looked like a wire and some cotton on it, I will attach the picture so you can see it yourself. It was so unexpected, painful and scary. I emailed the picture to dr. Sule and another very reputable plastic surgeon and asked them what that thing was. So, the other surgeon responded the next morning saying that it appears to be a COTTON PLEDGET!!! And it obviously was a cotton pledget, I just needed that confirmed. For dr. Sule it took two emails and a message to finally respond say that "I must admit, I'm not sure", he also offered to evaluate and treat my nose and sinuses but at this point I have no trust in him and I don't want to waste anymore of my time for those pointless appointments.
Now it makes sence why I've been having facial pain and headaches on the left side only. But now the problem is that half of the cotton was missing from the pledget and could be still sitting/migrating in my sinuses, cheek, head etc because I still have the same facial pain and headaches.
Everything that was touched by dr. Sule during the surgery was messed up. Nobody/nothing did so much damage to me in my whole life as dr. Sule in that 2,5 hour surgery.

OMG, I can't believe you were living with that inside your nose. How in the world does that get left behind? As if you needed anymore surprises... Hopefully a doctor can help make sure it's all out. I hope the pain and headaches improve now that you have removed that.

Hi, this is something that is used during nasal surgeries to protect the internal tissue of the nose, and course, it has to be removed after the procedure is over. Thanks to dr. Sule' very sloppy job it was left inside. I just hope that this was the final "surprise"!

Dear God I am so sorry. That must have been terrifying. I'm sure you have done all you can but, have you spoken to a lawyer? This all screams malpractice. I looked into one for my situation and spoke to several, but Colorado has a cap on malpractice that I don't meet, which is crummy and I'm writing my state senator about it. Probably won't do much but it is worth a shot. Also, I am flying out to Utah to see another specialist for my situation. I also have a septal perforation and some nasal collapse. I also spoke with Doctor Hamilton in California and he is my first pick for surgery.

Hi, honestly I've been waiting for dr. Sule at least admit his mistakes and apologize for them and come clean about what went wrong during the surgery. I am thinking back and I realize how lucky I am to be alive, because I could have died if that wire would've perforated something, or it could've blocked my airway. Instead, he still believes that the achieved outcome is great and as he said in his only email "I honestly did the best I could to give you the results that you desired"! Could this reply be any worse?
Could you please share the name of the Doctor in Utah? Does he specialize in septal perforation repair? I wish you good luck with your consultation and looking forward to your update.

Colorados medical malpractice cap is on the TOP end of the case. The cap should not be a problem for you. Finding a lawyer who thinks your pain and suffering and any actual money spent, or days of work missed is worth enough for his time and trouble is another story

There are caps on the bottom as well. I've spoken to several lawyers. No one will take a case like mine because of the caps.

The Doctors I am seeing in Utah are Dr. Fairbanks and Dr. Fairbanks. It is a father son team. I have not found any reviews about them but I will let you know about my experience. The son spoke to me for almost an hour over the phone and was very informative and honest with me. He then said his consolations are free and he wanted to see me in person before he would make any statement about if he and his father could help me or not. My appointment is on the 18th.

So sorry for you. Can't believe doctors abuse patients like this. This is totally unacceptable on so many levels. No human being deserves this kind of treatment. Thankfully there are good doctors out there that care and will take care of you. I know of one good doctor in GB, Dr. Ion, who can get you back and better than ever. If you need any other help, please let me know.
