Hi guys, I was thinking about how we can get misled by these surgeons. I literally didn't know it could ever happen and it did. I was thinking, i have a high IQ, why didn't I see the signs? I think the laws though, put in place to protect patients are very hard to enforce. These doctors know that. I feel that so much can happen and if you are confident and happy like AT ALL, don't do it. I've lost three years of my life. I'm going to travel overseas soon to meet with a doctor that fixed a few of my friends. He has a good reputation, but to be honest, I'm terrified. Sometimes I just don't know if I can wake up from the nightmare. These people find me sometimes on social media and they are in the public eye and also got botched and it's literally the worst pain because you can't conduct yourself like you used to. People used to say I was everything. I had everything. And, I was careful in choosing doctors and they still didn't do what I wanted. Obviously, if you are a person considering surgery, try to love yourself first. Remember how much can go wrong and that this site is filled with very good results as well as suffering people. I was considering what a botch is. It's going against the human rights of the patient---to violate a patient that way is akin to violence. I know there are good doctors, but the fact is, I didn't choose them. I got sucker punched and my life was totally devastated. I actually wanted to get back to my old nose, the one that was broken many years ago. It was larger and I liked that. i told both surgeons that was what I wanted, and both took shortcuts, cutting off tissue to try to put a bandaid on what I asked for. Both admitted to doing the opposite in their notes. One admitted intent to do the opposite. Yet, here I am, the one suffering. I'm upset today. I have loose skin all over my bridge because Hamiton shaved it repeatedly. Another girl he did this too found me on social media. She cries every day because he took away her ability to do selfies. So did Frankel. Both people wrote down I wanted augmentation. How could this happen? Sorry for ranting, but I need to sometimes. Hope you guys are well and enjoying your lives or finding someone who won't lie to you. Sending you love from the couches of America.

Good luck with your visit to Dr Ion, I have the feeling he is "THE ONE". [RS bleep]
August 4, 2017
@juniper77 aw... i am so nervous!
August 6, 2017
Dont be, you have a support/prayer team behind you. You have come this far and all we have seen about Dr Ion is positive. I have this image of all of us "botchees" boarding an Airbus 380 (full of botchees) flying to London to be fixed. There HAS to be a movie in all of this!

i wanted to do a series. like top model for noses.

There would be some very scared doctors out there if you did! :)

hi guys

girltown
I haven't written in awhile. But, i was thinking about this class that I'm in and how it educates us to have empathy for differences, disabilities and for people with experiences that are "other." It is a program to educate people of our community who might have a hard time learning due to schedules and children and disabilities. While it is focused on reminding us to be ever mindful of the difficulties in learning, it also enhances our abilities to think for ourselves and remain open to further learning. And, lucky for me, I will be teaching writing the short story and English. My instructors are so charming and compelling---one teaches the law and the constitution and our bill of rights at college but also is the head of the administrative side of the program. Actually, I think that's what she does, but I think she also sits on many panels for the college system. She is a powerhouse and dresses cute and used to be an actress. She has a BEAUTIFUL natural nose. My other instructor is also a doctor and very funny and self-deprecating. They actually care about people and are using their own minds to think for themselves. We have to give little demonstrations on instruction and how we might do that in five minutes. To that end, one of my classmates and he stood up and gave his presentation on Cyber Security issues in the workplace. One woman raised her hand and said his accent prevented her from "hearing" correctly. While that may have been true, it wasn't really the place to say it in a room dedicated to support of diversity. My instructor quickly stated that the gentleman had a resonant bottom heavy voice that perhaps can't cut through the air-conditioning unit, and reminded everyone that diversity is to form concepts of inclusion rather than exclusion. This reminded me of what some of us on here are going through. Like, thanks Girltown, but what does this have to do with having a bad surgical outcome, when everyone else thinks it's great. Or what do I do while waiting the 12 months for a safe revision. While sometimes I can't fully fathom why someone wouldn't want a shape that I find lovely, I try to understand them. Or while it might be confusing that people's depression leads them to the refrigerator, while I completely stopped eating. I try to be careful in thinking how my interpretation might be from a personal confirmation bias that I haven't investigated. How does that translate. Well, I am suffering. More so some days than other days. But, I am positive about my future. I do have PTSD and I need sunshine and fresh water. I try to go to the gym and press tons of weight with my legs (cause it gets me in shape the fastest) and I need to think positively and surround myself with other humans who believe in my recovery. I need to remember the soul of the self that has always been there and still is there no matter what. I think of you guys often, those who got well and those who are waiting to get well. i think of those recently out of surgery and I send you all my love and hope for a healthy life. To me, the best things to do while waiting are pick up a camera and point it out on the world. Learn a hobby. Go see an art show. Make a movie. Try something different. A lot of us avoid old friends but have made new ones on here. Tell someone something you have always wanted to, but didn't know how. Write it all down. Each moment is a living breathing thing and we can't think this is forever. We deserve to be happy. This is one moment and for some of us it lasts a long time. But, we can get well. I still believe it.

I'm still struggling everyday! I just hoping I can be fixed and not get any worse. I'm scared and upset and I can't take it anymore! I would be taking selfies with my kids and family and I can t because I feel so hideous . I work out all the time and can't seem to get better . I'm depressed and want to hide under a rock! Ok I'm done. Just saying!

Update with Photos

For those who think I looked like a model after surgery. Let me remind you, I'm not a model, never was one, but I was a happy, confident person who liked my face before this madness. And, that Hamilton snowed me. He told me he'd remove the rims in my nostrils, which he didn't. He also told me he could turn my angle back up, which looks worse because of the lower lateral cartilage repositioning, that my Frankel report says are rims but are actually the LLC sewn into my nostrils. So, my face is no longer in a soft position, but a hard, unflattering one due to the lower lateral cartilage pulling down my cheeks. So... all in all, my nose looks like this after hamilton. I have to face my co-workers, like this---that's why i have seen my new RealSelf friends, but not my other friends, in two and a half years. I go through the world, like this. Can I get a good shot of myself? Yes. But, that's from years of photography experience and doesn't show the reality--that my nose---is pointing down. My alar creases, because Hamilton he didn't build anything there and because Frankel moved what was in there to my rims, are empty. So, on videos--acting---it looks terrible. That's the reality. Here it is in a picture. For those who saw me before, yes, I was much more attractive than this. My nose was not ever pointing down. I'm scottish, we have long upward projected noses. I hope you can see it in this picture. Hamilton did not really do much for me except make it worse because I didn't get what i asked for. Could he have done it? I don't think so. So, to those who judge me and tell me what they think happened to me, if it hasn't happened to you, try to withhold your judgment. It isn't pretty. Impirically speaking. It's a disaster.

I know u might not believe me .. but what i can see is a fine nose a normal nose.. and u r a beautiful blondie.. i just cannot believe that u r not going out because of that normal nose.. i had a my primary and the result is much more worse than that.. i know nothing would change ur opinion.. because i feel u .. change is so hard but be strong.. u deserve all the best
June 26, 2017
why write me things like this? it's very weird. you want me to feel better about two doctors committing these acts? that seems outlandish. how do you know nothing would change my opinion? who are you?
June 26, 2017
@sweetlips00 my friends haven't seen me in two and a half years and you don't believe me? you make your living on your looks still. i used to, how is yours worse?

It's true that she's a beautiful blondie, but she misses her old nose, and rightfully so. Dr. Hamilton made promises he could not keep and also violated her privacy (different story). He did not do what he said he would do, and I think he knew all along that he could not give her what she wanted, but he wanted her money. The nose he gave her is not significantly different enough from her Frankel nose, and he did nose use ear cartilage like he said he would. He was so unethical in so many ways.

Her original nose had a lot of unique and feminine features to it. It was more rotated and had a hanging columella and her septum was longer and nasal spine more prominent. She may still look beautiful to others, but she does not feel beautiful anymore. She's devastated and has every right to be.

Did not* use ear cartilage
June 26, 2017
thank you bobinhood. i appreciate your thoughtful response. @sweetlips kind of tells everyone they look normal. she discredits them because the loss of a normal life has not happened to her this kind of thing is discrediting to the experience of the person whose life has been destroyed. i doappreciate you articulating so well what happened to me. i am devastated. that's the truth
June 26, 2017
rhinoplasty is a complex procedure.what matters most is the patient and his or hers satisfaction. it does not matter what others think.
June 26, 2017
I was fine with the other cmnts but this cmnt? Oh god ..as if i offended u or said a bad word to you.. which i clearly didnt.. i was sending positive vibes and thats what i get? And then u say that im lying ? And im not passing through the same thing? and if u think that im telling everyone that they look normal and fine .. then prove it!! I was trying to help although im devestated and heart broken after my surgery but i did a mistake commenting here
June 26, 2017
@jaka. Thank you, i hope you are finding someone to help your case. i met with davis and he acted so strangely. he did it to one other girl too. i'm not totally sure what is going on with him, but i really do hope you find help somewhere--maybe ion?
June 26, 2017
you said you didn't believe i wasn't going out with my normal nose. however, i don't know which comment you are referring to. i know who you are, and you are not botched. I never said you are lying. it's a cultural miscommunication. this is your way of being supportive, maybe. i don't have to prove it. i've seen you commented on terribly botched people that they are handsome. i think you mean well though. that's all i said. i'm sorry you are devastated and heartbroken as well. trust me, i wouldn't wish this on anybody, but i also wouldn't come to your page and say you look normal and i can't believe you aren't going out, looking so normal.
June 26, 2017
I dnt think u know me girltown.. u have never seen my inbox.. and if i said to one guy that he is truly handome i mean it and i know exactly who u r talking about.. but that doesnt mean i say it to everyone in this community.. because i always say the truth.. u may not believe me bcoz u said im lying.. as u like.. but i just made many friends here because im a truthful and supportive person.. and its okay if u dnt want to be friends.. although we are passing through the same thing.. i still respect and appreciate you no matter what u say about me.. gdluck xx
June 26, 2017
I'm so sorry @girltown. Sending thoughts and prayers your way. I somewhat know how you feel, with getting results I never asked for and hating myself now. :(
June 26, 2017
don't hate yourself. most things can be improved. but you can't be conned like i was, babe. are you meeting with people for revision? or just in the waiting period. it isn't your fault.
June 26, 2017
Researching like crazy, so I appreciate honest reviews like you wrote (and others). I have a consult with Dr. Le next month. That's my next step. I really hope he can somewhat restore "me".
June 26, 2017
Im sorry i do know doctors care so much about money more than their patients... who said that i dnt believe that u r not going out.. i believe you ..im in the same situation ..5 months at home.. i know the depression u r going through.. im sorry if i offended u in anyway.. all that i know is that im looking at ur whole face.. ur beautiful blonde hair... thats what i meant.. but still i hate those two doctors for ruining ur life and career.. they dont deserve even one star..
June 26, 2017
you can't give zero stars on the site. i think you mean well. i'm not really angry at you. just the people who lied to me. i feel so lost some days. you said you don't believe i wouldn't go out with "that normal nose" but i used to be pretty. it's very complex for a person to understand being totally happy with your looks and having someone steal them from you. it's like the worst violation--and pretty is not the point, normal is not even the point, it's a violation of the self, the very integrity of the body--your god given right to your own choices being stripped from you. you think i can be normal and have a normal life with a normal nose but it looks terrible on screen. just awful. i changed careers and then i was lured and lied to by hamilton, to the extent I thought he stuck with my plan and i made videos on here that he and his staff watched. he knew he didn't do what he told me and by the time i found out, i had publically humiliated myself with them watching and laughing at me behind my back and in person when i went in. one of my friends now has a "hamilton nose," in life, these are not photoshopped like on his website. saying i'm blonde is also strange. why does it matter what color my hair is if i have a witches nose which is pulling down my face due to ungodly repositioning of lateral cartilages in my nostrils. it's like telling someone oh but your boobs are pretty. literally, not the point. but, i somehow think you either mean well or think you are helping. so, thank you even though i think you are a tad bit ill-equipped unless your whole life is gone and you had to change careers due to the actions of the surgeon.

Hang in there girltown. No one understands the level of misery we face looking in the mirror and not seeing ourselves. Me not wanting or seeking rhino and ending up like this is hard to explain. No one believes me or understands they all say "may not be what you wanted but you are still pretty enough. Are 6Ft tall wear a short skirt. Have great eyes lips hair"... my identifying feature is gone. Was taken and changed without consent. It's devestating. Tomorrow's my birthday. Everyone wants my to "get out of my funk - it could be worse. You can be in war in Syria." No matter how "fine" "pretty" or "great" everyone thinks we look, we don't. I miss my life and family and friend after 6 months. I miss being carefree confident happy and social. I am an anxious humiliated depressed embarassed shocked traumatized human being right now who never knew this level of pain and misery could exist in the world. I assume you share that level of pain and despair. I like you miss my face and my life every day. Sending you hugs. We will get to the other side. We have to. I look so operated on its crazy. It's disgusting. It's shocking. And I wanted nothing. I truly expected my face when I woke. My natural nose. You wanted to put this behind you after hamilton. I can't imagine going through it again. We will get a semblance of our faces back. We will never love our look again. We will always mourn our loss and have trauma. But we will get better. We have to. All of us will get to the other side. Soldier on!!
June 26, 2017
thank you @rhinosucks. i actually think we can like our looks again. that's where i might be more delusional than the rest! but, i still believe in hope and help. i truly do. i love you and i pray you will get better. when people don't believe you, it really hurts. like it hurts your soul. i had one guy tell me, "you know you look great." i told him it's the worst thing a person has ever said to me. because it's not me. it's a fabrication not of god. and it hurts.
June 26, 2017
AMEN. You really articulated well how I feel as well. Thanks for sharing your heart with us. We will get through this. I'm hopeful to like the way that I look again too, like @girltown. I pray every day for all of us going through this misery.
June 27, 2017
That is exactly how I feel. Exactly.
July 1, 2017
It all resonates!
It's devastating I'm not sure how and why these doctors continue to operate and carry out rhinoplasty do they not care about the effect they have do they no read how truly devastating it is to live with a result that's ruined your looks. What a terrible way to make money! By running someone's face, getting paid for it and then going on to the next person. I was like do so confident and everyone said how pretty I was - now I have none and can't go out without a meltdown. I recently posted my first review I will follow up with photos as I know a picture paints a thousand words! I'm so traumatised and I know you all are too. I try to stay positive but some days the despair takes over. Today is one of them days. It's the weekend and I can't step outside the house with fear.
