My nose is crooked and now has a hanging columella

To be clear, Dr Donald Yoo messed up my nose. I incorrectly spelled his name in my original review (it’s not dr too).

January marks the two year mark after my rhinoplasty with DR YOO. He made my nose larger and more bulbous and my tip is lower than before. I specified that I wanted an Alar Reduction. I awoke post surgery to ONE nostril reduced; instead of performing an Alar Reduction Rhinoplasty he just made my nostrils 'even'.. meaning he just cut into the bigger one to make it the same size as the other nostril.. he did not do what we discussed. Like I've read in other reviews, he also gaslit me saying I needed to learn how to contour and that others could do much more with their face when they 'had less' (whatever that means); I got this procedure so I didn't need to contour! My nose is also crooked and now has a hanging columella.. horrible work!

I wasn't very comfortable taking photos before my rhinoplasty with dr yoo but now I am extremely self conscious to participate in any photos! My boyfriend sent me some candid photos the other day and they made me cry

I am saving up for a revision with another surgeon.
