Provider Review
May end up with a good result as it's still improving and returning to what it was when I removed the cast but I've been through the worst year of my life and if it hadn't been for my family I wouldn't have come through it. Dr. Padera was a guarantor on Praga Medica's website and should have been ensuring that patients were getting the correct information. Secondary rhinoplasty is not standard rhinoplasty and should never be described as such. Praga Medica told me it was standard rhinoplasty but as I had previous surgery and a broken nose before this operation it was not standard. My nose at 4 months post-op was huge and looked extremely crooked. It's gradually improved since then. There's still a sizeable bump but much smaller than it was. Hopefully it will continue to improve and I'll end up with a great result but Padera has a duty of care to ensure his patients are receiving the correct info about the recovery and risks involved in surgery. I was only told after the op that because of my previous op and broken nose, the recovery could take much longer. I feel Dr Padera is an excellent surgeon but that Praga Medica's pre-op info was misleading.
