Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

She Gave Me a Reductive Rhinoplasty Without my Consent
untitled-prod-video-798790-id-74739
I had facial feminization with her in 2022.
I told her MULTIPLE TIMES not to make my nose smaller and she did it anyway. I now have to shove a plastic tube up my left nostril every day to make my nose look SLIGHTLY less awful.
I also showed her pictures of my family. I explained my heritage (I’m mixed race, my mother is indigenous, etc.) and I told her so many times how important it was to me to preserve my ethnic features.
During my video consultation, I said “Don’t give me a tiny little white girl nose.”
The day of the surgery, when she insisted that I “balance out” my face by making it smaller, I said that the most I would tolerate being done to my nose was some very minor shaving of my dorsal hump to make it look slightly softer. I also said to absolutely NOT go any further than that.
To make my intentions painfully clear to her, immediately following that, I said (verbatim) “I don’t want it to look different, I just want to be able to breathe through it again” and reiterated that I really only wanted to fix my deviated septum, which only very slightly affected the tip of my nose before the surgery.
Dr. Saxon ignored my clear and direct requests, gave me the wrong kind of rhinoplasty, and removed cartilaginous structure from my nose, leaving it structurally very weak, which led to the gradual formation of several large dents and caused the tip to become even more crooked than it was before surgery.
I came to talk to her before it got this bad, too. She just kept insisting that I look “beautiful” and said to wait until the swelling went down to pass judgement, which I reluctantly agreed to do.
However, it’s now been more than a year. The more the swelling goes down, the worse it gets.
I don’t think this is beautiful. I think I look botched. The tip of my nose being so crooked is making my top lip crooked, as well…
I followed the post-op instructions to the letter. I did everything “right.” I’m traumatized. My career is ruined, I don’t want to leave the house, and I can’t afford to do anything to fix this.
When I got a second opinion from a surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty, she said that not only can we never restore the original appearance, it will cost me AT LEAST $40,000 to fix it well enough to look normal again.
Texas is a horrible place to sue a doctor in. Lawyers keep saying it “won’t be worth it” to sue her for such a small amount, that it would have to be “in the millions.” I don’t want millions of dollars, though.
I just want my nose back.
