Rhinoplasty Disaster

I had a primary rhinoplasty in 2009 with Dr John Harlock in Perth, Australia. I specifically asked him to only straighten the bone in my nose that was crooked and to bring the sides at the tip in ever so slightly. That's all I wanted. I told him not to resect the dorsal. Dr John Harlock went overboard and totally re-modified my nose to the point that it was cut in two pieces under my skin and wobbled from side to side and was a complete mess. He pushed it up higher which I never asked him to do. He cut into the sides near my cheek. It was uneven and over resected and extremely ugly. He denied any wrong doing and said he couldn't fix it other than increase my dorsal to be higher using ear graft. I refused to let him touch my nose again. I do not recommend Dr John Harlock for rhinoplasty. He has no sympathy for the mess he makes. I wish I never had surgery in the first place.

I forgot to mention in my initial post I had an accident at 14 and it bent my nose and deviated my septum. This was my only reason for initial rhino.

In 2014 I had revision rhino. I'm still assessing things and can't comment much. Warning, if you live interstate from another surgeon in Australia, don't do it unless they have time to answer questions after surgery and arrange pre-op appointments to nail down exactly what you want. My nose is an improvement but I'm finding it a bit too round!! Watch this space. I'll more comment later.

This is another example of my bumpy lumpy nose prior to revision rhinoplasty. I can't believe I walked around like this for six years.
