I am ashamed to admit Juan Monreal duped both me & my husband who has been patiently supporting me throughout this nose nightmare . man literally decieved me into my 5th revision surgery without the slightest remorse .
I went to him after losing my birth nose in Turkey in 2019.
I went to other surgeons and realised that I had made bad choices so finally after selling my house in 2024 my husband and I decided to put a large amount aside for this what I hoped was my final surgery and to this time go to a Europeon surgeon .
On the surface Monreal seemed old school and respectful.
I ignored a few of his negative goggle reviews from locals.
From the 1st email I sent him along with morphs I specified I wanted my birth nose features ( high bridge & radix & slim tip).
He NEVER replied that it was impossible and gave the impression that he was ok to achieve this so we decided to spend money on flights to Spain 2 times and sat with him and showed him multiple photos of my birth nose emphasizing again and again " tall bridge & high radix" .
He appeared to be studying my photos peeking down over his glasses .
He said he could rewiden my bones and add hump
He never mentioned tip projection during consultations or emails ( I sent him multiple morphs from the 1st email showing that I wanted de projection after revision left me with a droopy tip .
Monreal never said no and in fact we studied my birth nose photos in person showing he high bridge & radix repeatedly to avoid any misunderstandings .
We spent time & money flying out to Spain to meet him and we were convinced he could help as he was agreeing to evertthing requested( all on audio recordings ) .
In all that time it has occured to me that his office was always empty of patients and in fact I never met a single patient in the waiting room on those 5 visits. .in hindsight that was a bad sign perhaps.
Finally my husband & I decided we would go to him as he seemed trustworthy and confident .
So reluctantly we transfered €18k into his bank account and booked surgery for May .
It was all a sham at my expense as we flew out again 1 day before surgery and he suddenly projects my tip out further in the morph even though I told him & showed him my photos to deproject my tip that was projected in my last surgery as my birth nose tip was close to my face .
He told me casually 16hrs before surgrery that he HAD to project my tip further in order to derotate it .
I told him I didnt like it but he said it wouldnt make much difference ..
He withheld this critical information regarding my surgery plans tilI I had no choice in the matter .
He if knew he wanted to project my tip he SHOULD have mentioned it to me before during those multiple in person consults & emails .
I have recorded both of my consultations with him which prove he deliberately mislead me knowing Ive been through multiple traumas because of my nose surgeries.
Last month again I flew out to meet him wirh my husband .
Monreal sat there shrugging his shoulders and downturning his mouth throughout as we asked him why he has left me with a nose that is now crooked on left side tip and why did he shave down my radix making it look scooped when he was meant to fill it in as discussed on multiple occasions .
I asked him where is my high bridge?
He shrugged again and mumbled he followed the morph.
We told him what about the plan we showed you from the begining? In the recorded consultats he said that he was going to rebuild my nose..
He did not rebuild my nose as it is worse now than before as he has left me with an ugly flat front profile that is now even less ethnic looking making it rock hard & projected out further.
There is ZERO derotation.
He mumbled he can offer further surgery or speqk to his lawyers. I told him surgery seems very casual for you but I am a multiple revision patient with high risk of complications and you have told me in the past ( when I asked you what is your safety protocol in case of complications after surgery? ) that you never had a case of necorosis in all your years of practice .
You told me you can add fat in ? Fat was his solution after he had my rib there to use as cartilage to build up my bridge & radix !.
He lied and kept laughing & told us that he can only offer refund after speaking to his lawyers .
We waited weeks and he ignored our emails.
Eventally he wrote back that surgery fees are non refundable as stated in the contract .
I am in the process of now needing my 6th surgery and finding a spainish lawyer to drag this man to court as he lured me into my 5th surgery knowing I am multiple revision patient who sold her house to be fooled again .
He showed cold callous behaviour even though we travelled to Spain to confront him.He mislead us & is now spending our money whilst he left me high n dry.
He swindled me from day one as he was never going to follow my strict wishes.
He made me go through a 6hr surgery & removed my ribs for nothing .
He did not address my droopy tip which was the 1st thing I requested.
Instead hes made it MORE droopy
Had I known that an old Europeon doctor like him could be so cruel & calculated I would have saved my precious money & gone back to Turkey .
I think he's going to retire soon & wants to take as much money as he can from trusting patients like me .
Please be aware of his conduct if u are a local .
I am willing to share my before and after photos here to prove my case against him.
