AWFUL Experience.
Dr Asaria botched my nose.
He performed a septoplasty/rhinoplasty back in 2019 and followed up with a revision surgery in mid 2020.
After the revision, I noticed things I did not like still, but Dr Asaria strung me along for the next 2 years stating that it was still swollen and to give it more time based on numerous reasons. Eventually, he began giving me steroid injections (to help with swelling) + fillers to help the over retracted left nostril (likely to buy himself some time). As time went on, my septum begain to deviate again, combined with breathing issues returning and a small lump appeared on the right nostril. Asaria agreed that my septum was deviating again. It was also a pain in the neck to get appts in a reasonable time frame.
My nose now has a curved appearance, asymmetrical nostrils, a columella that still hangs, a "c" shaped nasal appearance, a deviated nasal septum veering right, breathing issues, back throat drip, dorsal irregularities and an over retracted left nostril (alar rim retraction).
Dr Asaria agreed and said that there was an option for another revision surgery that would entail rib cartilage (basically a complete reconstruction). Why wasn't that done during the 1st revision surgery? For whatever reason, he focused on the negative, stating that there was a high chance of it failing..... We didn't agree to anything right then and there, however, we did record the conversation and listened to it later on that evening. It was a lot to take in.
My next visit for steroid injections came and Asaria was acting like a Jekyll and Hyde stating that it had been 2 years since the failed revision ( she was obviously one of his trial/error patients as it wasn't done properly) and that there was nothing else he could do for her. In tears, I asked if he would at least help out with the cosmetic situation (fillers to help even out the over retracted nostril as it was the only thing helping at all). He reiterated that it had been 2 years since the revision (he strung me along for those 2 years with false hope). When I pointed out what we spoke about the last appt (another revision), he blatantly shot it down by stating to forget about what he said then and to listen to what he's saying now. It was so shockingly impersonal and a complete 180 from the last appt. My next step might be litigation as I have him on Audi agreeing to doing something about it.
I didn't argue because i just didn't have the knowledge and/or answers to argue with in that moment. Well, we got a 2nd and 3rd opinion and the general consensus was that my deviated septum was never fixed. Fixing the septum and supporting it was what he was supposed to do to address everything to begin with.
If you care about your nose, find someone with more experience. He talks a good talk, I've read it all here, yet he didn't want to apply any of that to my situation.
