CT Scan shows that deviation not addressed
$21,766
So, I've begun consulting with other surgeons. One of them said it was necessary that I had a CT cone beam scan, which I did yesterday.
What the scan shows is that my septum is extremely deviated and that Richard ignored that even though a) he said he would fix it b) he opened up the nose and saw that it was deviated. I did record his consultations with me and have him stating that he would straighten the septum.
I've asked him why he ignored this and why he said he would fix this and didn't, he can't comment on those facts and replies with a generic "revisions are difficult" comment.
Anyone considering surgery with this surgeon, be aware that he will seem to be understanding what you are requesting and he will provide you with nothing but positive things and a "yes, I can do that", but he will not deliver most of those promises.
What's comical is that he is still posting pictures about "straightening the crooked nose" on his Instagram, even though it's clear he can't do that.

1 year update pics
Some pics of the 1 year update, crooked and downwards sloping from 3/4 view. The nose really hasn't changed too much since the cast removal like the Dr promised, the issues I have 1 year post are the same issues I noticed and mentioned at cast removal.

Dr Reish gets very mixed reviews. I’ve seen some nice jose and some terrible noses. I hope he can fix your nose.

I won't be going back to him. When I first consulted with him, he said this was easy to fix and that he could do it. Now he's started saying "this is a very difficult case". Hes made my nose bigger than it's ever been and I still can't breathe. In relation to a refund, I've asked, but I'm not hopeful, for that to happen he has to admit that what he did was incorrect and these guys never do.
Everyone stay clear of this guy.

How often do you see Dr. Reish? Do you continue to get steroid shots? I get them every two months and they haven't made a difference. I'm feeling the same frustration as you. Please keep us posted on your journey!

I don't go back to him, I'm an international patient, in my opinion he's a mediocre surgeon best suited to fixing basic rhinoplasty issues.

Nose is extremely large with a bulbous tip, crooked with a bump and alar retraction, both nostrils collapse. All the things I complained about after the surgery are still present. Dr. Reish, does not want to straighten the nose. I believe fixing a deviated nose is not within his skill.

The results haven't changed from the last pictures, the nose is still extremely crooked, wide bridge, bulbous tip, large columella, breathing issues with both nostrils collapsing, alar retraction on right nostril.
Dr. Reish wants to perform a revision, although he has mentioned that he would like not to re-do the osteotomies and that he would like to make the nose appear straighter by shaving down some of the non essential cartilage.
