Botched nose job—All I wanted was the bump removed and it straightened out

I broke my nose about 6 years ago and it left me with a bump that I was really self conscious about. I decided to do something about it and came across this doctor on Instagram! 

His work looked amazing there were so many noses on his account similar to mine that looked brilliant after having rhinoplasty with him. All I wanted was the bump removed and it straightened out, I specifically asked for it NOT to be a dramatic change that I still wanted to look like myself just with a straighter nose!

I noticed in the few weeks before my procedure that a lot of his insta stories had noses which didn’t look natural at all and the tip of the nose was always pointed up towards the sky, I specifically told him I did not want this to be done to me.

On the day of my procedure, he gave me an option of 4 different looks to chose from as he photoshopped a picture of my nose, all of them looked amazing it was hard to decide, finally I picked the 1 I wanted but unfortunately it was not even remotely like that when I woke up, I was horrified but understood that I had a lot of swelling but I couldn’t help but notice my nose was so small and the tip was elevated so high! He assured me it was the way it was bandaged and I believed him! A week passed and I flew back home to Ireland with instructions from the doctor to remove my cast after 2 weeks, this whole time I just thought my tip was elevated so much because of the cast! 

Finally, I removed my cast and I spent the day crying, it was the worst day of my life I looked absolutely horrible, I messaged him straight away and he told me to give it 3 months for swelling to reduce, he said my tip would drop day by day that I wouldn’t even notice, it never did. 

All my family and friends were horrified by the way I looked, asking me did I ask for this look and asking me why did I do this to myself, I kept telling them it’s going to be fine I just have to wait for the swelling to come down but again the shape of my nose never changed, eventually after about 8 months my left side started to collapse in and I now can’t breathe on that side, my nostrils are completely different, I have a lump of cartilage sticking out of the tip of my nose, and the tip of my nose is still elevated to the sky, he has literally ruined my face, my confidence and self-esteem, I’m currently out of work now with depression every time I just get a glance of myself in the mirror I’m reminded of it!

I am currently looking for someone that can reconstruct my nose, I’ve been to a few consultations and have been told that will need to make an extraction from my ribs in order to try to fix my nose but it will never be the look I wanted they will just improve it and make it look better then what it is now! Please do your research before considering any doctor I was fooled by this man and his pictures on Instagram, having looked more into it he has no positive reviews online at all!
