Poor Surgeries, Left Feeling Unheard and Depressed
It doesn’t please me to leave a negative review as I was very fond of Dr Özücer but I have been left extremely depressed for 2 years now wishing I would have stayed in the U.K. and saved for someone more experienced with complex cases.
The Doctor will of course have his own version of events but the photos will not lie.
I found Dr Özücer via a medical travel company Meditravelist.
My issues were a supratip depression, crooked, crooked nostrils and a flat spot towards the top of the bridge. Indeed this was a complicated case and I stated to meditavelist I did not want it done unless the Dr was confident as I couldn’t bare to be in the situation I am now. I was assured Dr was a perfectionist who would take his time and they’d worked with him many times. I put my trust in what I was told.
This turned out to be a lie as they had only just met. However, i acknowledge this was not the doctors words and it was misrepresentation from Meditravelist.
The plan was for a full reconstruction taking out all previous poor work and rebuilding using ear or rib cartilage grafts. I believed I would be getting a rebuild. Supratip section of the nose rebuilt using cartilage and upper section bones reshaped.
What I ended up getting was a closed rhinoplasty, very restrictive for my complex case and a cartilage graft placed from top to bottom on top of existing deformities and it looked absolutely horrendous.
I couldn’t look in the mirror or go out without being embarrassed that I’d been away for an operation only to come back worse.
The doctor admits it was a poor surgery requiring revision and that he was initially worried about doing an open rhinoplasty because of my previous surgeries.
That is a fair point I accept but If he told me this prior to surgery I would have cancelled immediately. I accepted because I was assured he was confident.
I made a complaint to the Health tourism ministry about Meditravelist and both them and doctor were investigated.
The Dr agreed to do a free revision minus hospital costs
Although i’d lost confidence in the Dr I had no money to go elsewhere so all I asked for was the cartilage to be completely removed from the bridge of the nose and the bones to be reshaped as best as possible.
I made this clear so many times.
I had the revision done and straight away from the theatre photos I was shown I pointed out potential deformities.
The cartilage, although marginally better was still on the bridge of the nose right up to where it meets the forehead. It’s given me a square bulky look at the top and that wasn’t even an area where I wanted adjusted prior to surgery. I asked for this to be removed . I was told it suits my face ….. that’s my decision to make.
There are a number of visible cartilage deformities in the mid section and it looks bulkier all over. Again it was a poor job and not what I asked for.
I just feel so depressed with how I look and it was my last chance to pay for surgery. I was lied to by meditravelist and got a Dr inexperienced for a complex cases.
I then feel I wasn’t listened to in my revision regarding cartilage removal.
It’s took me a long time to do this because at times been made to feel like I’m a frustrating patient questioning the Dr or being dramatic but I think it’s clear from the pictures my feelings are valid.
I’m currently in talks with solicitors regarding both Meditravelist and the completed surgeries because I’ve been quoted between £15,000 - £30,000 to have the top surgeons in the U.K. rectify it!!! I don’t want to spend my life depressed everytime I look in the mirror so now I’m left to find a solution
