Trouble breathing because nose is collapsing & visibly crooked

Getting more impatient as the days go by...

$8,500
It's been 3 months since the day that ruined my life. I find that as the days go by I get more and more impatient. Of course there are worse days than others, but lately they have been mostly bad. I just now have gained the courage to go back and look at old pictures and videos of myself. It's so strange because I feel like I'm watching some pretty girl that I'm envious of... when its me. But I feel like its not.. its a very surreal and sad thing. I always knew I was good looking, but I never realized HOW good looking until now. I say all this and then I remember the saddest part about this whole ordeal is that I just asked for a simple change. So simple that me, nor anyone else would have noticed a difference. The only difference should have been my profile was a hint better. That's it. I didn't have some huge bump, it was tiny!!!! If I just would have chosen a better doctor.. I think any doctor in Houston would have been better than Dr. Yarish. I really want to write a book about my experience bc the more I look into all these cosmetic procedures the more I realize how careful people need to be. Also the fact that we as the patients have no legal protection. I will also expose this doctor that I went to as well. He has caused pain to more people than just myself. I also have found that it is soooo hard to find a doctor that I trust!! I guess I'm just being extra careful now as I want this next procedure to be my LAST one.

Ive heard nothing but bad things about this "surgeon", I think there is a reason why these doctors don't practice in the big cities and are doing their "work" in smaller communities. I had a consult with another P.S. that worked in Lake Jackson, his name is Dr. Pisarski... terrible experience from start to finish, or should I just say from finish to finish....he spent 3 minutes with me, was extremely rude/arrogant and then rushed me out of the door and I was charged 50 bucks for it. I ran for the hills...the hills being Houston where I knew I would find more professional doctors/surgeons. Im glad I researched this doctor before deciding to get my nose done because I initially ran across his page when I was considering rhinoplasty and I was thinking about giving him a call but I did more research and found a lot of bad experiences from his patients. Good luck with your revision...!
This review surprises me. Contrary to the positive feedback I have heard on Dr Yarish.
It doesn't surprise me that this is the only thing you have commented on. But, I'm surprised that you're surprised.. Because there are a lot of cases like mine with Dr Yarish. At least you are now forewarned.
So sorry to hear about your experience. Sadly, I too was at a consult with Dr. Yarish around this time, Nov. 15, 2013 for a chin augmentation consult. From the beginning, he made me feel like an "old" lady, citing that in addition to the chin, I should also get a neck lift AND eyelid surgery!! I was thinking, "thanks for making me feel more insecure about myself!" His quote was above and beyond what I would have considered paying for the chin augmentation I initially went in for, so I bailed. His staff was courteous but that didn't remove the warning bells sounding off in my head. He also shared with me this bit of info, that he didn't sleep much....joke much? I was terrified and didn't feel comfortable. This was before I read all these negative reviews. His office manager kept emailing me for weeks after that, dropping the price each time....discounted plastic surgery? ReallY? I'm so sorry you had to find out this way. I pray your revision will make you happy and restore some bit of confidence in the whole process.
Sorry *Nov 14, 2013 was my consult.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing your experience. I'm really sorry this happened to you. I think it's great you are trying to warn people to be more careful
I wish you are doing well now.as a person who had the same nightmare i can really understand what you felt.every night i wake up and look in the mirror hoping that every thing happened in this month was not real but every time i just find the ugly fact staring at me.i just want a time machine to go back

Still miserable....

Well there's nothing to really describe how I feel besides miserable. And yet even that word doesn't do my true feelings any justice. It's four months until my six month mark. That's when I'm planning on doing the revision. The only thing I keep thinking about is getting my beautiful face back. It's so weird how one decision can alter your whole life. I went from being a happy, confident, sociable, young woman with the whole world at her finger tips.. To a sad, ugly, depressed recluse. The hardest part is knowing that I might not ever get close to my natural nose. I just want to find the right doctor that LISTENS to me and has a great deal of expertise in revision rhinoplasty. I'm thinking of Dr. Siegal a lot because he really agreed with me when I first saw him three weeks after my botched surgery. I'll probably go back to him to talk next month since it's been a bit longer after surgery.

... Found out nose is collapsing

When I visited Dr. L and S they told me some interesting news. The reason why I am having trouble breathing is because my nose is collapsing due to Dr. Yarish narrowing it too much. Also, my nose is visibly crooked now. Great. More and more problems keep coming up. However, they said they are probably able to get my nose back very similar to my natural nose.
