It's like surgery never happened

$10,000
My nose has not improved. I think it's as ugly as before the surgery no diffiernce. I hate Dr. Miller and his whole office. Wish I had never went there and went somewhere else. Money was practically stolen from me. No difference. As I'm getting closed to my fifth month my nose is looking worse. My confidence is a an all time low. I don't even feel like a human being anymore put a pig because that's the kind of nose I have,

Dr.Philip Miller seemed very warm and friendly during consultation. I was so impressed with him, and meeting him made me want to do the surgery even more. However, I only saw him couple times and for a total of less than 10min. I wish I had used another doctor. I feel like I was scammed. I see no significant improvement in my nose. It's actually getting bigger. It looks rushed. I believe he did not take his time and operate on me. Five months and no improvement. He does not give equal time to his patients, and botches the operations of those he feels are not worth his time. I cry every day that I did not go somewhere else, to a skilled surgeon. I'm so upset that he will get away with what he did to me. It is my opinion he should not be allowed to preform any rhinoplastys and ruin lives with his incompetence. I came to him for help but now feel that he mocked me, along with his horrible staff. The patient advisor is a liar who only sees the patients as big huge dollar signs. His name is Joseph, and he convinced me to use a doctor he knew was lousy. Again, he is a liar. If you like to be treated like a human being, and want your issues solved, do not go to this doctor.

Are you ok? Did he offer you a revision?

Three months post op. Still no improvement

I've waited and waited and see no improvement. I blame my surgeon. This is clearly his fault. He belittled me, dissmissed me and did inadequate work on my nose. He must only pay attention to his international or "important" clients. I don't understand since he does not take insurance. Isn't one persons money the same as another. I guess not. He is unethical.

I just had a consult with him yesterday for a similar procedure septorhinoplasty w/buccal fat excision, well, I saw Dr. Miller for about 5 min,his preop surgeon or preop associate was so nasty to me and this is the second time dealing with Dr. Miller's staff that I have left the office crying and really upset about the experience the next day. And I haven't even had a surgery. I am so sorry to see that not more true reviews about Dr. Miller out there like this because when you try to search for them it will seems like he's the best husband in the world, he's very very curt and acts like he is time is worth gold and the staff there will only be nice to you if you raise an issue, then they're nasty again-it's clearly all about money and he clearly has grown some ego that far exceeds his expertise and skills. It appears the staff has taken on that ego as well. I hope other people can help me find a good rhinoplasty surgeon in NYC or he will fly to NYC. Now I'm really upset because I have medical conditions that limit my time frame. I'm so sorry about your experience -is your nose any better at all now?
Have you seen any other surgeons?

No progress

Still unhappy. My nose looks big and ugly. I know I've said this before but I really regret my choice in surgeons. Didn't know natural means lets leave it ugly. So it's may look slightly better. But at the end of the day big is big and ugly is ugly. I'm even gaining weight because i'm so depressed.

Pls dont get depressed. It won't help my dear. If I were you I would start searching for revision surgeons. This site is a great place to start ur search. You can even post questions for surgeons. You can communicate with others in similar situations and exchange information. Try it and you will feel much better.
Thanks so much. I'm looking into to doctors who specialize in revisions.
Good luck on your search. Pls update us.
Start looking for another doctor, it will help you feel more in control of the situation . It's really hard to go through something this important and not be able to talk about it at all
Yes, thanks. I reallt need to get my nose looked at by amother doctor.
Hi, any updates? I hope you are feeling better.
Hi. I'm feeling better but still get upset. I don't like how my nose looks. I don't see a significant improvement. I start feeling impatient that I have to wait to get a revision. I'm waiting to see a doctor but there's really nothing I can do right now. How are you? Hope that things are going better with your results.
Hang in there. You are still only a month and I hope things get better! I would love to see your before/afters.
No photos. Too embarrased. Thanks for your support.
Me too! Maybe there are changes that you're not seeing? I had almost no change in the tip for 6 months so hang in there!
I'm too embarrased by my nose to post photos. I'll see but I asked my Co worker. She's the only one who I told at work BC she plans on having surgery too. She said she sees no difference. Looks like I got a facial. Lol
