Horrible results - left with an unnatural shaped nose

Horrible Results from Dr Hu

sallen2000

Truly horrible experience with Dr. Hu!

She did a deviated septum repair with some minor cosmetic correction. After a long recovery and excessive amount of follow up office visits I could still not breathe out of one side (still deviated and now a weakened valve). I had to have 2 additional office procedures to try to remove random loose cartilage pieces that could be seen and felt and another surgery to try repair the left nostril so it doesn't close when I breathe. This surgery was also unsuccessful and left me with a horrible droop on the left nostril and now there is a chunk of cartilage that can be felt moving and 'catching' when I move my nose. This has been an awful experience that is going to cost a lot to have repaired. She has always wanted to wait and stall and seemed to lack confidence in her ability to fix it, and obviously I shared that feeling. I was not paying any additional money to let her try since it was already such a mess. This whole experience has had a horrible impact on my self esteem and comfort. I'm so much worse off than before. So after 3 years and 4 total procedures (2 of them general surgery), I am left with a horribly unnatural shaped nose and severely drooping nostril. I'd do anything to go back to before she touched it.

I thought it was just a simple fix. If only I had looked further for more reviews and before and after photos. Please learn from my mistake and be sure to do thorough research, because once it's done wrong, it's extremely complicated and costly to repair.
