Horrible Results and Experience

This doctor is awful. I totally regret going to him for rhinoplasty. It has been the worst experience and I am now recovering from a revision rhinoplasty with another doctor to try to fix all the problems Sirius Yoo caused. To start, I was left with internal nasal valve collapse - severe. It's where you have extremely limited breathing through your nose. The reason for this is that he took way too much cartilage from my nose, and left my nose with nowhere near enough support. The result is internal collapse. Even more devastating is the fact that he completely marred my nose visually. It looked nothing like the computer generated photo. He made it extremely wider in the bridge and very pinched at the tip. He also left me with severe alar retraction, which if you don't know, makes you look like a dragon. It was horrible. I tried at about the 6 month mark post surgery to tell him my devastation and concerns, but he would not call back. I then emailed him, and still did not get a response until I called several more times asking for a response.
When he finally emailed back, he told me, and I quote: "There is a reason why lighting experts people have jobs in photography and film... You can probably achieve a lot of what you want from contouring makeup. You have a much better 'canvas' for makeup now." First of all, if I wanted to do makeup tricks on my nose I wouldn't have had this major surgery and paid so much money. Secondly, no makeup magic would have helped with the marred appearance he left me with. I ended paying three times more for a revision from a true expert a little over a year later, and I am now recovering from that operation. This has been the most horrible experience because he destroyed my nose inside and out. I write this to speak about what happened to me, to expose this person for what he has done and said, and to help others who may be considering going to him. P.S. I had to call multiple times to get my operative report. My husband finally insisted that they email it while on the phone call because they kept saying the would send it or call back, but never would.
