Left with a Deviated Septum

UPDATED FROM Pioneering16358

Had to get a revision

After a botched surgery from Dr. Buonassisi, I eventually had to get a revision. Here are my "before" pictures from my revision that show the primary rhinoplasty Dr Buonassisi did. As you can see there is a horrible deviation, my nose is far too long and droopy, and there is my new surgeon confirmed that there was a lot of scar tissue inside that destroyed the inside of my nose. Dr Buonassisi never provided me with proper aftercare instructions either which I believe worsened my nose over time. I could not even breathe properly these last few years and it was torture.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was wondering if you can tell me which doctor did your revision surgery ?
Hi, can you tell me which doctor you went for your revision rhinoplasty? I didn't get a good result from Buonassisi either and I also need a revision. Thanks.
ORIGINAL POST

Left with a Deviated Septum

The cost of my surgery was very expensive. I felt pressured into making minimal change for the extreme nose that I had prior to the surgery. The nurses were often condescending and now I have a deviated septum and they were dismissive and kept telling me it looks great. There were also very long reply times when it came to emails. Now I need to get a revision rhinoplasty to actually get the nose job I wanted, along with fixing the deviated septum and removing the sheer amount of scar tissue left behind. This doctor is not worth going to. They have a great social media presence but the actual results for me have made my life a nightmare.

I feel for you... I had a facelift by Dr Andrew Ordon... so bad... cost 26,000 and when I complained everything dropped ... he wanted $9000 more to fool Me twice! He's not a skilled surgeon but appears on TV as a top plastic surgeon of the Stars... sure he will make you look like a movie star in a horror film. Now in order to get. REAL FACELIFT I have to spend $20,000 more! There are few laws to force these doctors to Accept responsibility for their LACK OF SKILL OR TO RETURN YOUR MONEY THEY ROBBED FROM YOU!
Going to a different doctor... Dr Ordon is a fraud and crook!!!
What laws are those ! Bc I need to know lol seriously
This worries me because dr Bounassisi is supposed to be a fantastic rhinoplasty surgeon. I've been considering him as my other person I want is in Toronto and has a crazy waitlist. Were your changes that you wanted drastic? Or minimal? I'm sorry you went through this :(
Thank you! Just DMed you about it, hope that’s okay!
Hello Pioneering16358. Our entire team is so saddened to see this review. We take reviews very seriously and strive to provide an outstanding experience in every way. We had a team meeting this morning to discuss this and we are unaware of any unhappy patients, nor any patient who has been left with a deviated septum requiring a revision. We'd love to speak with you to discuss your concerns...since this review is anonymous we are unable to contact you. Would you be open to reaching out to our manager Erin at the clinic? We've performed thousands of procedures and had wonderful reports for years about our staff, our nurses and Dr. Buonassisi.
After the dismissive treatment I received from your staff when I tried to raise my concerns about this, I would rather not. I also did not appreciate the lies pre-surgery regarding what could and could not be done to my nose so my trust for you and your team is minuscule.
Going through the same thing ! Do you have pics ?
same thing with dr.B ? Could you pls provide more details regarding your experience. I was priorly very confident in choosing him as my rhino surgeon
No I had it happen in Akron Ohio with doctor Carp and was considering DrB
omg..i'm so sorry for your experience :( absolutely awful and not only did u not get the results u wanted but u also got a deviated septum that wasn't there before. i'm in vancouver too and just got my surgery done from dr. denton and so far i'm very happy. i had considered dr. b but my original nose was quite big and i didn't want a subtle change. looking at his before and afters i felt i wouldn't get the results i wanted so i never booked a consultation. this is so disappointing to see though because he's the top rhinoplasty dr in the city. not sure if you went for a consultation with dr. denton but he is amazing! i'm only 3 weeks post-op and already my nose looks better than what i had. i'm happy to answer any questions or send pics if you're considering dr. denton :)
Hi! can you send me pics? :)
