I had a rhinoplasty done with dr. Agha a few years back with horrible results. I ended up with an asymmetrical bump on one side of my nose. When I complained about it, he initially began to give me injections, telling me it was cartlidge. Needless to say, the injections did not work. I requested a revision, which then only made the result worse. As a medical professional, especially in plastic surgery, you should want a great result for your patient. I was not taken seriously in the countless emails and appointments with dr. Agha telling him I was not happy, and we needed to fix it. This was something I did not have prior to my rhinoplasty. Even more important, all of my major concerns with my nose (length, nostril size) were not even dealt with during surgery. The main difference is that I now have a visible bump on onesife of my nose. It's horrible, because I thought I would feel more confident post-op, not have a whole new set of problems with my nose. What a disappointment. I will eventually undergo a revision with a doctor that listens, and takes me seriously. It is my face, it's important, and as a registered nurse myself, I can't imagine treating a patient the way I was treated. I understand the risks, and that sometimes revisions need to be done, but even that turned out horrible. He still never fixed anything, don't you want to be proud of your work? Be careful with this doctor, all I wanted was something better than what I went in with. Huge mistake choosing this dr. Agha.

I concur. I too am a registered nurse and was treated horribly by this doctor. The night before surgery, after I had paid upfront for surgery $23,000 he told me I was having a lower body lift. He made me sign new contracts, I was not able to see him before surgery and after surgery my family had to ask to see him because we had not been given any after care instructions for when I went home. I did go to an after care facility he recommended. That's a whole different story. Anyway, I had real concerns that he had not liposuctioned my thighs at all because there was no bruising whatsoever and there was no special bandages on my thighs he had told me would be there. When I got the surgical report after my surgery it didn't mention anything about liposuctioning my thighs! When I emailed him he called me, which was weird because all our contact had been by email. He said he had liposuctioned my thighs. Then later after I had been expressing my unhappiness and my experiences with this doctor, ( up til this point I had not mentioned his name at all) Dr. Agha got on the real self site and started commenting on what I had written. In one of his comments he said he didn't liposuction my thighs because they would be to small if he had! I could go on but as an registered nurse I know that what he did, how he did it, and how he reported it in his surgical report was probably illegal, certainly unethical, and incomplete and it has been almost 3 years and I still have jiggly thighs, scars that are really bad and cellulite that is much worse then it was before surgery. It was a waste of money and to top it off in the surgical report I suffered respiratory distress, which was never communicated to me or my family. I should have sued this doctor but the money I spent was an inheritance and I didn't feel that I could afford to go that whole route. I trusted this man and he was more focused on his vacation in the south of France then he was on me. He couldn't even tell me until my 3rd visit how much fat he had transferred to my buttocks. Buyer beware!
