Do not let Salzhauer ruin your face. Find a real doctor! - Miami, FL

Since I posted my story, I've had so many other victims of Salzhauer (I refuse to call him by the title of Dr. anymore because he doesn't deserve it) reach out to me. I can't believe the number of people who have messaged me and said they also had bad nose jobs from him! I am really glad that I can help others with my story... I guess that's the one silver lining to my whole traumatic experience. I honestly think we need to do a class act against this guy or something because I've had at least 10 people tell me that he also ruined their noses. And apparently he tells everyone during their consultations that their noses will be "easy to fix." Don't believe him! I made the mistake of thinking that because he thought my nose was "easy" it meant he would do less to it and therefore I'd have an easier recover and there would be less chances of something going wrong. EPIC FAIL. So much went wrong with my rhinoplasty! Even now, 2 years later, even after a successful revision, I can still feel the scarred lumps in the tip of my nose and the rough sides of my septum. There are no such things as easy rhinoplasties. Every surgery requires a lot of skill and time. So please, do your research well before you decide on a surgeon. Even if you already put down a deposit, $1000 is a lot less money to lose than the $10,000 it costs for revision.

Thank the lord for my revision surgeon who managed to fix my nose. I can finally see the long term results from my revision, and I actually like my nose now-- for the first time in my life!

So grateful my story has a happy ending. I really hope other people on here will be able to find the same... and I also hope anyone has considered Dr. Salzhauer does NOT go through with it. If you want to throw thousands of dollars down the drain, permanently disfigure your face, and leave your revision surgeon with a crapload of mess to clean up... then choose him.

Posting pics of my fixed nose! Straight bridge... Tip is no longer crooked... HAPPY!
Message me if you want info about my revision surgeon!

Best of luck to everyone-

I finally had my revision surgery...
The operation took 5 HOURS!
Why?
Because Salzhauer had messed up my nose so badly they needed 5 hours worth of surgery to try and fix everything. When my revision surgeon told me what nose looked like when he opened me up I was so infuriated that I cried.

What my revision surgeon found:

1) My septum was completely screwed up and "zig zagged" in the back. That was his actual description of what my septum looked like, and it took him a long time to straighten it back out. He said he was surprised I could even breathe properly. I CANT BELIEVE A SURGEON WOULD EVER LEAVE A PATIENT WITH A ZIG ZAGGED SEPTUM. If medical malpractice suits weren't always grossly skewed in favor of the medical provider, I would sue Salzhauer for ruining my septum like this.

2) Open roof deformity on my bridge (which I had discussed with Salzhauer before my rhinoplasty and specifically told him that I did not want to have an open roof deformity after they filed down my bump. But of course he still left me with one).

3) Poorly done high osteotomy which is what left me with the ridiculously narrow bridge between my eyes (which the surgeon was unable to fix due to time constraints and the other issues he was trying to fix at the time)

4) The middle third of my nose was sunken in and I had an inverted v-deformity because Salzhauer took out too much of my cartilage there and left an open roof up top.

5) The tip of my nose was a massive ball of scar tissue. Apparently Salzhauer tried to perform a Goldman's Tip procedure to narrow my nose, but didn't know that the procedure is an out-dated and horrible method that most surgeons will not use anymore because it causes the sides of the nose to eventually collapse and it requires cutting the sides of the cartilage and damaging it.

6) Spreader grafts were used all along my bridge to try and strengthen it and rebuild a smooth shape. The tip also has grafts to reinforce it because of all the scar tissue and damage that Salzhauer left in the tip.

7) To try and reverse the scar tissue my surgeon also has a plan to inject steroids in my tip over the course of months to smooth things out.

So 5 full hours later, I can tell you that my best advice to anyone looking to get any type of cosmetic surgery is to AVOID SALZHAUER! Just don't do it, and I promise you will save yourself a world of regret and thousands of dollars.

Also, my revision surgeon was a million times more caring and his staff was more professional. The anesthesiologist threaded the IV so fast and painlessly... unlike the lady Salzhauer had who stabbed me 4 times with a needle to try and find a vein. Also my revision surgeon came to visit me the day after surgery and bought me q-tips and ointment and other post-surgical supplies... and all I got from Salzhauer was a mass forwarded post-op email. Seriously, just avoid this guy at all costs if you value your face. Biggest regret of my life was going to him.
