Traumatic - damaged my vocal cords, hairline did not improve

ORIGINAL POST

Traumatic Experience

Irah.

Dr. Noorman van Der Dussen has the best intentions with his work. Unfortunately this is not enough. I performed FFS with him including hairline lowering, brow bone shave, rhinoplasty and tracheal shave. My hairline did not improve much after the surgery, it was a big miss. I recommend to not ever do hairline lowering but to perform a hair transplant for example in Turkey.

The results are much better, the procedure is not invasive and it is much cheaper. The brow bone shave could have been performed better, it was okay. My rhinoplasty went terribly wrong. He calls himself an artist, this was distorted art. I had to get a revision in Turkey at Dr. Saban Celebi, it was just badly performed. I told him right after my surgery that I did not like the nose, he kept telling me that it is the swelling.

With my tracheal shave he damaged my vocals cords which resulted in my voice getting lower and restricted my ability of singing. The aftercare was bad. There is no nurse to take care of you. The family with a befriended doctor downstairs is busy taking care of themselves which is understandable. It takes the doctor several calls to turn up after one hour when it is urgent.

I had major complications from air in my forehead like a balloon to the swelling of my eyes to double vision. In the hospital my demands were not taken seriously by the nurses. 20 hours after surgery I had to call a taxi to the hotel he recommends by myself, still so weak. I was a traumatic experience. I don't recommend this doctor, it is a waste of resources.

Beware of this doctor who has ruined…
Beware of this doctor who has ruined the faces of many patients, especially non-Belgian ones. From 2016 to 2018, the Belgian judges condemned him with reserve to practice the medical profession, including suspending his license to operate for 3 months. not be removed from the Belgian medical register. I too spoil my face with yet another complaint from France as well. Attention girls!
