I had a rhinoplasty to remove a dorsal hump.
I just wanted some minimal rasping but the doctor changed my entire nose!
I don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror.
The tip is upturned, and pinched.
My profile is ski sloped (I asked for straight)
and the nasal bones are now pencil thin!
My eyes dont even look the same because he messed so much with the bones around them....
Every morning I feel like I wake up into a nightmare. I am currently looking into revision. Hopefully I can find a doctor.

Tener la cirugía de nariz con el Doctor Héctor Ramírez de FORMA fue la peor decisión de mi vida. Yo solamente quería que me raspara un poquito el dorso de la nariz pero el doctor cambió mi nariz completamente!
La hizo DEMASIADO delgada y aparte me la dejo para arriba de puerquito.
Yo no le pedí nada de esto y fui súper específica que quería algo natural. El me dijo que me vería igual de en frente y eso fue una mentira. Mi nariz está completamente cambiada y demasiado pequeña para mi nariz.
Ahora estoy sufriendo de una depresión demasiado grande. El doctor Hector Ramírez arruino mi vida

Hi RozeRoze. I just saw your review and I'm very sorry about your disappointment. Like the person before me said please don't lose hope, one day will come and you'll be very happy with your nose. Trust me. You're also early in the healing process so there is still hope that your nose might change. Have you communicated your concerns to your surgeon?

Hi zooster. I just noticed you comment (I fixed the notification setting now).
I have talked to my surgeon and he says that the tip will drop and I will be happy with it but I know this is not true because I liked how low my tip was before the rhinoplasty and there is not way it's going to get that low.
Either way I would not go back to that surgeon for a revision even if they payed me to do it. My grandmother is currently working on getting the money back from the surgical fee so at least I can have something to pay the revision specialist with.

Hola !!
Lo Siento mucho todo lo q te esta pasando ,con tu experiencia me siento más asustada si debo o no operarme . Mi novio,familia e amigos me dicen q soy bonita tal cual . Pero yo no me veo así y peor después del golpe q recibí hace unos meses ,mi respiración se complicó y de frente se ve un poco chueca :( . Sólo te puedo decir ten paciencia ,ve a tus chequeos y dentro de unos meses visita otro médico .mucha fuerza porfavor .
April 18, 2014
Hola, gracias por tu comentario. No te asustes! Sólo te recomiendo que sí te óperas sea para mejorar tu respiración y enderezar tu nariz. No recomiendo que te hagan nada cosmético porque puede ser que no te guste el resultado. Si un doctor te dice que puede cambiar tu perfil sin cambiar como de vez de por frente CORRE porque eso no es posible. En qué ciudad piensas operarte?
April 18, 2014
Gracias por responderme .
Estoy pensando en el Dr. Ciardullo q está en la ciudad de New York porq e visto unos bonitos resultados aunq e notado 2 o 3 malos comentarios por su trabajo y ese pequeño porcentaje me asusta . Mi consulta con el fue bien yo quiero por mi respiración y también astetico ,no me gusta el bump q tengo y el me dijo q defrente no iba a tener mucho cambio ,ya q defrente no se ve tan mal si no sonrió ,porq cuando sonrió no me gusta se ve ancha y caída la punta y mi perfil lo detestó porq siempre hay alguien q me insulta y me hace sentir insegura . En fin todo esto de pensar en cirugía la verdad me da mucho miedo y todavía no tengo la valentía de operarme y menos después de ver a chicas como tu ,q se sienten tan mal con sus resultados .
April 20, 2014
Si te da miedo no lo hagas! Te recomiendo que sólo arregles lo funcional.
Pero bueno, te deseó suerte con cualquier decisión que hagas. Espero tu "review" en caso que decidas proceder :)

Examining the mistakes my surgeon made
RevisionDoneApril 20, 2014
So as examine my nose more and more (I usually avoid mirrors) I am understanding what I don't like about it and mistakes the surgeon made.
One of the things about this nose is that it is upturned.
As a result, it is showing a LOT nostril where I didn't show any before.
Another thing and possibly the most difficult to fix (if not impossible) is that the doctor was extremely aggressive with the osteotomies and to top it off the osteotomies are not even. The nasal bones were narrowed more at the top and less at the bottom giving me a hollow eye look.
I believe as a result of the osteotomies my internal nasal valves were narrowed so they get clogged easier and also make a whistling noise often.
My nose lost so much support so it has collapsed. I have what you call an inverted V deformity.
The tip was overly narrowed as well giving it a pinched look. It is also higher than the rest of my dorsum giving me a scooped look on profile view.
I am looking into revision specialists. Hopefully someone can get me back to a place where I can feel comfortable with myself.

Rose, i feel your pain , i too had a very bad luck with rhino , i hzd z great nose , i wanted subtle changes but it turned out to be a nightmare . My nose is collapsing and i can t even breath well anymore .i cry every day .do not blame yoursrlf for chosing the wrong doctor , i went to a nose specialist ( one of the best in the us) but still the outcome is bad . I pray a lot . And i will pray for all of us .
April 23, 2014
I cry very often too :( I literally ruined my life. I can't think about anything other than my nose and with my deformed looks I can't follow my dreams anymore.... Thank you for the prayers. I will pray too!
April 23, 2014
I really feel you. I feel the same. You can see my pictures of preop and postop n one of my questions ( check my profile ) huge difference. My surgeon promised to fix it in revision . It s very painful but we are going to get through this. I saw your pics. I think in good hands your nose has a great chance . Xx
April 22, 2014
I'm in the same boat as you rozeroze, I knew from the minute I woke up it was wrong. I hope we can find a resolution. Keep us posted on your journey to revision, thank yoh
April 23, 2014
Do you have any doctors in mind for revision? I know I'm going to consult with a fee before I make a decision
April 23, 2014
Yeah, I have an appointment with him but it is until October because he does not see anyone before 11 months post op.
I think with him communication would be easy because he has 3D imaging so you can show him exactly what you want.
I'm still going to see some doctors in July and also a local doctor. Let's see what happens.
April 26, 2014
I'm from Europe. I'm consulting with two in uk, one in holland and shah , Davis , boahene and gruber in the states
April 26, 2014
I am also going to consult with Boahene. He is on my list. I'm not sure about Shah (in my situation) because he said he couldn't make the nose wider. He has really nice results though! I'm going to consult with Dr. Le and Byrne while I'm consulting Dr. Boahene. Other than that I'm going to try here in Texas with Cochran and Adam Weinfeld. Hopefully one of them works.
April 26, 2014
Where are you from, US or Europe?
April 26, 2014
Its actually crazy the amount of cowboy surgeons they are. They should know their capabilities. Its good that you named and shamed him, why stop here, do it on all the websites so nobody else makes the same mistake
April 26, 2014
He was a famous surgeon in that city. Comes out on TV and everything :/ which is why I'm not going to see any Beverlyhills doctors lol
April 26, 2014
Like frankel? He is v expensive, but does provide goid input on here and his email responses have been good. How about hilinski?
April 26, 2014
In not sure about Hilinski. I don't know if he can make the nose wider. I think I heard something really bad about him on the internet so I didn't really look into him. Are you looking into him? So far Boahene seems like my best option
April 26, 2014
There's bad about everyone, it's scary. Even Davis and I mean real bad although I trust him. Nothing really negative about boahene although his speciality is African noses and I'm Caucasian thin skin ???
April 26, 2014
What is your main goal with rhinoplasty? You can PM me so we can have a conversation about this if you'd like
May 7, 2014
I'm so sorry to hear about this and know first hand how devastating a bad surgery is. I hope you find a great revision surgery and ride the emotional rollercoaster to a better outcome so you can make peace with all of this! Best of luck.
