I had rhinoplasty with Dr tahery back in March. I felt so confident about it at the time... I am cabin crew and I travel all over the world so it is easy and cheap for me to travel anywhere to have this procedure done...and after meeting other surgeons I felt confident with Tahery as he took the time to meet with me out of his office hours and also messaged me after I met with him to tell me he 'seen great potential in improving my nose'. I felt so good about this... and how wrong I was. Everything bad that he could of done to my nose he did. He didn't do anything I asked. I asked for a slope and for my nose to be made shorter... he made my nose so flat to my face even sunglasses don't sit properly.. no slope at all. My tip is indented and now I will need a cartilage graft from my ear. The bump that he shaved down is reappearing and my nose is actually wider than it was before! My scar is also not great and has a lump in it.. he said he can Lasor it.. but again why should he have to had he sown it up properly? When I go to work and meet new people so many comment on my nose.. they ask why a surgeon would do this to me.. I ask myself the same question.. how is this man getting away with ruining vulnerable girls noses?
I have recently met with Tahery for the first time since having the procedure. I told him how unhappy I was and he laughed in my face. As you can imagine this made me angry and our meeting did not go down well. I am living with depression because of this man and he some how thinks it's funny.
I know many others who's noses he has ruined and I hope that my post can warn others off going with him. He told me that my nose wasn't bad at all and that it just needs 'fine tuning' (yeah right!) a top surgeon should do the job right the first time and I shouldn't need to have 'fine tuning' even though I need a lot more than that done, I wouldn't call having to take skin from my ear fine tuning...I told him I do not trust him to touch my nose again and he told me to think about it but I know he is not capable of making my nose right and I now have to pay a lot of money to fix the mess he caused me.
It's so devastating to pay all that money and have so much hope that you will be happy with the outcome to be made miserable and depressed. Now looking for revision specialists :(

Hiya, i'm sorry to hear to have had a similar experience to me. Its such a shame that we don't seem to be the only ones. Whatever you do, do not have his 'fine tuning'! I have heard of a few people who have had this and it ended up worse off from it. Do not give this man multiple attempts to get it right, he couldn't do it first time so he definitely won't be able to second time when its revision and even more complicated than the first. 'Fine tuning' is only for minor touch ups from what I've heard, a graft from your ear or rib is not a minor touch up, its a huge revision rhinoplasty! Sending you lots of love and support during this extremely hard time :) xxxx

I am SO sorry you are going through this.... for what it is worth, I still think you look beautiful (and I am not just saying that). I can't imagine having results you hate. I feel like commenting because feeling how you feel was my biggest fear. I was born with a very flat nose, no tip, and a huge bump on my nose. I had surgery on October 19th and it is exactly how I wanted it. It doesn't look like you live near me, but my surgeon was/is so amazing, she feels like a friend to me. I do have my photo on my page, but I wanted to let you know that I had to get cartilage taken from my ear and used for my nose. It obviously made the results great, but fair warning, the ear was the most painful part of the surgery. The pain is pretty bad for a long time (still hurts but has a minor infection). My nose tip is also very hard (where they put the cartilage), but I was also used to having no cartilage there at all. The whole recovery process is depressing enough as it is, let alone hating your results (but again, you honestly do still look beautiful)... I would not trust that man to touch your face again, that's for sure, and I would write on every single review page you can about him. Best of luck to you :)

Hello many thanks for your comment! Who was your doctor? This man is a terrible terrible surgeon I honestly don't know how he is still in business! So many girls are depressed because of him! So dissapointed in myself for trusting him... the thought of revision scares me so much but I have no choice.. thanks for your kind words and glad your happy with your new nose [RS bleep]

My doctors name is Kristina Zahkary. She is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, though... revision surgery does sound scary... but if you can find someone else you trust and have really looked into then I am sure everything will turn out great! I would highly recommend my surgeon, but only if you lived closer as that is a far ways to go....

Im sorry you are going through this. I hope you don't let him touch your nose again and I can believe he laughed. He should know that after surgery us patients feel very vulnerable. I had a chin implant which didn't look so good to me but my surgeon was very caring and took my concerns very seriously when I decided to have it out. Do an extensive research now and ask to see before and after rhinoplasty revisions. Sending you lots of love and good luck.

Hi doll, I hope you're coping okay. It sucks that you're not the only one who has had their nose ruined by him but please do not cut costs by going to the same surgeon and defo seek out a revision specialist. Im booked to have a consultation with lucian ion next week for a primary, but he is very well known as a revision specialist and has created lovely noses from cases which were a lot worse than yours. I know its hard to stay strong, but you do honestly still seem to be stunning from your pics, and you're luckily already 7 months so in a couple months you can get a revision and get the nose you were supposed to have. Best wishes xx

I am gutted for you.I have lived with a botched nose for the last 23 year not daring to go back to the original surgeon.I now have a revision rhinoplasty booked for this friday 18th Nov with Lucian Ion and I am hoping he can put my nose right.Please dont wait as long as I did.You are a very pretty girl and for him to laugh at you well words fail me.Thank you for your review it will make people think twice and hope you get sorted.have you considered Lucian Ion x

Wow , this surgeon is so mind boggling to me. I've seen a couple of really pretty results , but then results with obvious flaws. It's looking me he's one extreme to another , never in the middle. I'm so sorry sweetie. i wish you all the best in whatever the next plan is on dealing with this .

I hope this review encourages other people who have had bad results by this surgeon to post reviews. I know a lot get removed and people don't want their noses all over the internet but people really need to see both sides of what this surgeon does! Lots of love to you beautiful [RS bleep]
November 23, 2016
I think my tip is very similar to yours from the side x
November 23, 2016
I suppose he's said he will 'fine tune it'? Please don't let him hear your nose x
December 19, 2016
omg what did he do!
February 3, 2017
Can U sue him? So he will at least pay for your revision!!! U had a dream nose before!

Patients should submit pictures and complaints to the medical board. I am from the US so not sure what the process is in the UK. Agreed, her before nose is one of the most elegant and perfect noses that I have ever seen. I do not understand how these surgeons can operate on these noses.

At disbelief that he believes this is a 10 min job to fix! Take your time in seeking out a revision surgeon as I truly believe your results can be turned into something great in the right hands. Nothing a little bit of harvested cartilage and skill can't fix to make your tip a million times better. We've all got things we hate about ourselves and like to change hence why we're all on this site, but please don't let this affect your day to day life! I know how it may get you down but you still are a very beautiful girl, your nose does not define that about you. You will get the end result you desire, just your process may be a little bit longer than desired. Take care.

I find it disgusting that these surgeons are still practising. I'm surprised also at the amount of people still going to him for surgery with all the bad reviews?! I read in your first post how he text you? I just find that plain creepy and not very professional. Red flag for me. Also I don't like how all these chain surgical groups try to get you to sign up for surgery before you've even met the surgeon!
I'm in your situation with a not so great primary result and I'm finally going to get it fixed in February with Lucion Ion. I highly recommend booking a consultation with him.
All best X
