3 Year Revision Post Op

This is my 3 year revision post-op photo. Every once in a while, I find myself looking at the primary surgeon's Yelp page, just hoping one day it will show that his business has closed. Not only has it not closed, but he has expanded into body contouring and has continued to receive one-star reviews for his shotty work, still ghosting people, being a coward, and continuing to ruin lives. I get sick to my stomach when I see yet another poor soul who has gone under the knife with him. And, thinking on it SEVEN years later just shows the damage he truly did to me. Physically, obviously I've been fixed, but the emotional damage is still there clearly, and it just eats at my very core to think of what a vile person he is to continue to do this to people. I'm just so so sorry, and I wish I would have pursued it in court. I really hope one day someone does.

Dr. Celebi, overseas, was my savior from the nightmare of Dr. Minoli's hands, his rushed, shotty, despicable, and unforgivable 'work.' John Minoli wasn't even a decent enough Dr. to show up on time on surgery day, something I never mentioned until now. I have a feeling that even if the procedure hadn't started an hour late, he still would have given me the ugliest nose that could possibly sit on my face.

I think I have mentioned this before, but just make sure you're getting real before and after accounts of true patients, in the double digits for sure, but even the triple digits. These surgeons, who have maybe thirty patients over a span of 20 years, are not good enough. And don't go by credentials alone either because credentials can lie, big time.

Anyhow, Dr. Celebi saved my life, and I will forever be grateful to him for that. I would travel overseas a thousand times over to make sure the job is done right. P.s. Dr. Celebi has done hundreds of rhinoplastys at this point. That's his specialty. Go to someone like that. Don't settle for these supposedly triple certified, 'pretend to know what they're doing,' surgeons. Dr. Minoli has 40 reviews of his work over a span of 30 years. Dr. Celebi has hundreds over less time. Never, ever again, will I settle for the sham of a Dr. that John Minoli is.

2.5 Years Post Revision

Photo taken on 5.7.23. I am still very happy with my result and can only pray that it stays this way (as in, no more changes). I feel that with a successful surgery by a skilled surgeon, 2.5 post op should be a good indication of your new permanent nose. I trust that the structure is stable and strong this time.

One More From the 21st Sept.

I meant to post this with the latest/last update. 3/4 ish view. 6 months post op. Healing is going well so far. I am happy with my results as of now. To answer what a few people have inboxed, Dr. Celebi didn't have to use any cartilage for support.

I received primary rhinoplasty surgery on February 20, 2017. The reason for such a late review on this surgeon is because I wanted to be positive about the surgery and the outcome of it. I wanted to be hopeful that my initial results surely weren't true, that if I was just patient, if I just waited longer, that EVENTUALLY I would see a nose that I could be proud of; a nose that I could gladly boast to others about who my surgeon was and who did such wonderful work, but that was not to be the case at all. Honestly, my experience with this surgeon was, thinking back now, probably one of the worst you could have when seeking this kind of surgery. The Dr. was dismissive of my concerns when my left nostril was almost all the way closed 10 days post op and my septum was left crooked. The Dr. was non-chalant and downplayed my concern when I ended up with a bumpy notch on the inside of my left septum (which is now a large noticeable scar) and lastly, dumped me like a bad habit when he clearly realized that the work he did on me was probably the worst he has ever done. What's more is, I never even complained, I merely stated my concerns not knowing what to really expect because I'd never had rhinoplasty before. I was simply patient like he asked me to be. Three years later, I now have to find a way to save the money AGAIN for a second surgery when I shouldn't have to, not when I had a surgeon with 30 years of experience! Not then! I am left looking manly, with a harsh drooping tip, and visible scarring, hard lines, and a slightly crooked nose even (which wasn't even an issue in my birth nose!) I am just so so sorry that I went to this surgeon. Living in Vegas you would think that so many people here seek out these improvements, lots of them going to Dr. Minoli even! He has been in magazines, worked in Beverly Hills, has even done the noses of a few of his office staff. So WHY was I not deserving enough of his best work? Only he can tell me that, which will never happen because I've been ghosted. Didn't even go to my last post op appointment because he knew what a bad job he did, he canceled it before he had to face his work in person. Keep in mind, all the while I never complained, just waited and waited, for my results to miraculously become better. The joke was surely on me.
