Disappointed in results and in Dr. D ????

It's now officially over a year since my revision with Dr. Denenberg, and I'm beyond disappointed. Week after next, I'll be at 13 months post op and the goals we set out to accomplish are so far off from the results that I've come to see.
I emailed Dr. D back in September with all my concerns and at that time was advised that there was "nothing to do, but wait." Last Friday, I followed up with Dr. D and sent him photos I had taken that very morning, and reiterated the concerns I have over the length, projection, and bulbousness of the results. It's only been a few days, but I have yet to hear back from him and am starting to feel that I'm on my own in this. I'm trying to be patient, as patient as I have been all along with "waiting" and now I can't get as much as a response to my email.
I'm very disappointed in the results, even more so in Dr. D for misleading me into believing he could truly help with my revision. At this point, I've begun losing my trust in him and I want others to be aware of they're getting into by working with this physician for any procedure. I feel that there is zero integrity and lack of concern over the poor results. Who would've thought you shell out money for nothing in return, especially when it comes to your doctor. Very disappointed and feeling like I was taken advantage of.

Updated photos .... I think these express more than my comments...


Still very disappointed

I know I need to be patient, and I thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement, but everyday I grow more annoyed at the results of this revision.... I really wanted a much shorter nose, the one we (Dr. D and I) agreed upon in multiple conversations... I didn't want to have to consider a 3rd operation, I just wanted him to deliver the results we discussed. I feel he delivered on some things, but the ones I stressed the most (length and projection) were never fully addressed. What's worse,I can feel that some of the cartilages on my left side are very prominent, which makes it so the tip of my nose feels like it's leaning towards the left. So this not only feels strange, it makes my nose more asymmetrical, one nostril bigger than the other. And because my nose is still longer than ideal, when I smile my nose appears more noticeably leaning towards the left. As swelling continues to come down I am able to notice the visible imperfections of the tip that I feel did not get addressed. Am I still unhappy with the results? Absolutely.... every time I look in the mirror I wish that I could do this all over, and over stress to Dr. D all these obvious issues that I wished he had addressed the first time. Especially, knowing the ordeal I went through with my primary, he knows how long I waited to have this procedure..... i wish he could've done more.

Dr. Denenberg seemed very kind at firt, and acted as though he cares deeply about his patients and their results. Sadly, I think I've misjudged him and given too much credit where I shouldn't have. I have been consistent with staying in contact with him to keep him aware of the status of my results, and i haven't heard from him since last September. I've since emailed him last Friday, and still no response. Not only am I disappointed in my results, but I feel I am dealing with an individual who mislead me into thinking he really wanted to help me. At the end of the day, his wallet is a little bigger, and that seems to be the only thing that matters. In talking to others who have been his patient, I'm finding that I'm not alone in the impression that he gives.
