Failed twice - my nose is crooked up to the tip

ORIGINAL POST

Failed Twice

JenniSusanna1992
I went to Dr. Nogueira for the first time on October 28, 2022 and paid €8,296 for the surgery, the surgery was a complete fiasco. A piece of rib was taken from my side to lengthen the back of my nose. The end result was crooked and my whole nose was turned to the side. Doctor Nogueira admitted this was a complication. But didn't agree to correct the result he did himself because I didn't have "Surgeryshield". I was wondering if it can really be like this in Europe that a person who should be a professional is not responsible for correcting his own mistakes. I was so unhappy and depressed. My face was ruined. Repairing with other surgeons would have cost me many times over, so I ended up at his office again on May 5, 2022. I paid €6,822.23 again and this time I took "surgeryshield", I trusted that if something goes wrong, I have insurance. Little did I know that that insurance is not a guarantee of anything.

My next surgery was also unsuccessful. The doctor took a new side graft but said that it is fine to use the old one. I still asked for the same result as before the first surgery. Still, the distance between my eyes is way too high, my nose is crooked up to the tip of my nose. My face is still strange and I am 15 thousand euros poorer. Fortunately, there is surgeryshield until I find out that the doctor claims that this time it is not a complication. how fitting, just when i had insurance for it, it doesn't cover anything.

However, Dr. Nogueira asks me if I would like to pay almost 6000 euros more. You can guess that I'm not going to pay a single euro again to someone who doesn't admit or correct his mistakes or who isn't capable of evaluating facial features or his skills when it comes to surgeries. In addition, he yelled at me on the phone after my first surgery that my situation is not "his problem" about me if he has done this to my face. This is really his problem and not mine alone. So here is my face and my final result. Consider whether you want to give money to someone who won't fix their mistakes.

Hi there, firstly I am so sorry about your result and the fact that the surgeon will not take responsibility. I also had a rhinoplasty with Dr Noguria and it was also a total disaster. I found him to be very arrogant and I did not feel at ease with him when I consulted with him. He is very egotistical and belives his skills to be better than they actually are!!! He did not listen to my desires and changes I wanted for my nose and basically gave me the nose he considered to suit my face. I wanted to preserve my ethnic features and he irradiated them and gave me a slim long nose with a very high radix area between my eyes. I have been devastated by the result.When I contacted him he became aggressive and was shouting that it's a good nose . I said I wanted a revision as I had surgery shield and he told me I could not use it as it is not to be used if you just don't like the result!!! But this was not what I asked for so it makes no sense.Anyways I could not trust him after what he has done so I am looking for a new surgeon for revision. He is a horrible person and is only charming before you pay NOT after. I would not let him correct my nose if it was free, his skills are not sufficient. I hope you are able to correct your nose soon, I genuinely feel your painxxx

Hi did you find another surgeon to correct your nose?
August 20, 2023
I'm still looking. I don't trust any surgeons anymore so it's hard.

I'm looking too. I had 2 surgeries with another surgeon in Spain and am left with a disaster. The whole thing is so stressful and the thought of having to go through it again because you now look worse than when you started is very traumatic.

Im so sorry for you too! I send you DM!
August 28, 2023
Yes. Worst feeling. Yoi five a lot of money and trust the surgeon and they happily take your money but doesnt really care about results. Extremely traumatic and I have zero trust to doctors.

You give a lot of money*

Soooo sorry you went through this. I had a surgery with Dr Nogueira and he ruined my nose completely. I am left heartbroken. He has ignored all my concerns calling it "technical" and "complication" and now is ignoring my emails since I told him I have 100% not happy with his job and his use of those words do not justify why i look soo botched

Im so sorry for you too!
they really know how to avoid responsibility. I also took out insurance for the surgery, but it's of no use because the Mr. "great" surgeon thinks my outcome is really good! I really think he need an eye exam!
