Primary With Dr. Minoli Was NOT Worth it Revision With Dr. Celebi Was

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.

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.

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.
