Santdeep Paun Left Me with a Deformed Nose and Breathing Difficulties - London, GB

Sorry to hear about your experience. What was your surgical plan? I consulted with Paun and nearly booked to have my revision with him but during my 3rd consultation he told me off for asking too many technical questions and said I didn't need to know that. which really didnt go down well with me. I've already put my trust in 1 surgeon which has left me in the state im in.

My experience was oddly similar to that of the original poster. The only differences being that Mr Paun was not at all pleasant to me at consultations either before or after my operation. I hate that anyone else has gone through what I did and would certainly not want anyone else to have the experience, which is why I'm replying...however I must be honest and say that in a way it's reassuring to hear from other people who have had a bad experience with this man, because I thought I was the only one. Like the original poster, Mr Paun made changes to my nose that I had stressed many many times I didn't want because I knew they wouldn't suit my face - to the extent that I actually wondered whether he'd done it on purpose. After my operation, despite other surgeons saying they could see what the problems were, understood why I was upset and that the cosmetic outcome was unflattering, Mr Paun denied any problem and made me feel vain and foolish for caring about my appearance because I had no breathing probelms. I never felt unattractive prior to my surgery and only wanted a tiny refinement and now like the OP, I not only feel ugly - the fact is, I've lost my attractiveness. Over the last year or so I have seen the odd post from people complaining that they felt they had wasted money on consultations with this surgeon after he had been rude or cruel to them - I envy them, they had the strength to walk away. It's not vain or shallow to be upset at an adverse change in appearance, it's entirely human and normal.

It seems a few people here went to see this surgeon on the recommendation of a moderator of another forum which is now closed down. This moderator had never had surgery with Mr Paun and claimed to know of no one who had. I informed her of my poor result in March 2013....was anyone advised to see Paun by this moderator after this date? If so, she was certainly aware that he had at least one unhappy patient.
