the worst!

Maybe I wasn't clear...maybe I should have told him I didn't want a gumball in the tip of my nose, maybe I should have told him I wanted the nose to look good from both the side and the front, maybe I should have been very specific that I wanted a nice nose. I just never realized I should tell him that. Sorry,I won't be posting pre surgery pix because I believe they are irrelevant....the post surgery pix of me and all the patients featured on his website are the best indicator of his aesthetic.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I was wondering how long it took to see the ball or if it was there from the very beginning? Now I'm terrified b/c I had the same thing done with the same doc - and I'm waiting for a ball to form. Oh boy.

Secondary rhinoplasty is, sadly, a strong reality. Doing my consults now. Even some of the doctors are taken aback by the gum ball....it provides for some good conversation at least. But you are right, I am loath to have a second surgery, what if it comes out worse? It's really scary, but nothing could be worse than what I've got now.

Well best of luck to you! Keep us all updated and thanks for sharing your story.... I know it can be tough to put yourself out there with this situation. I can't even muster up the courage to post pics of my nose

Thank you. I really did not want to post pix, but I felt it was the only way to really back up what I was saying. If only someone had done this for me, then maybe I would have chosen a doctor with a more modern approach and better aesthetic.

Hi there, I had a run of the mill droopy nose with a wide tip, if that helps you. I will say my profile is not a problem and in fact looks very good. My concern is the ball of graft floating haphazardly in the tip. It is super obvious and comical looking. Just click to enlarge the pictures I have provided and you will see what I am talking about. This ball was not there pre surgery.....BUT, let's pretend for a second that it was. Why in the world, if it was there to begin with, would the surgeon leave it there.

seriously, why can't you post a preoperative pic? you've gone this far with calling out the Doc and posting your after pics and now you can't spare another 1-5 minutes to upload a couple of before pics?? "the final result is all that matters"? yes, i would agree, but give other people the chance of being the judge of that...otherwise, why are you even posting on here?

seriously, my pre-op nose is of no use to anyone who is considering dr.c, all that matters is how he fixed it, and they way he did so was with an unsophisticated ball of graft, without narrowing the nose in proportion. i am posting because dr. c has an excellent reputation that i fully relied upon to choose him as my surgeon, but he did a sub-par job. it is important for people to know that not everyone is happy with his results.

Well, after consulting with him, I am afraid I have to agree with you. He definitely seemed shady and his proposed approach was the strangest out of all the surgeons I visited (10+).

HAHA!

Hey, why don't you post a pre-op pix? Or a post-op? You know why you don't? Cuz you're a fraud from Dr C's office....hilarious. RonaD, Nimei...etc...Joker!
