I was left with 2 bumps on my nose
Dr Uppal carried out my rhinoplasty surgery in 2017. The procedure was to correct my deviated septum and to reduce the size of my nose, by shaving down the hump.
Several weeks after my surgery some swelling had gone and I was left with 2 bumps on my nose; One at the top, which felt very much like bone and another in the center to above the tip. In addition, the right side of my tip had caved in.
Dr Uppal advised that the bumps were a result of scar tissue and with a little applied pressure and tape the bumps would eventually go. When that did not work, he tried a steroid injection, which just made the bumps more prominent. His third solution was revision surgery, which I regretfully agreed to. Dr Uppal went back into my nose while I was awake. Having gone back into my nose, Dr Uppal continued to assure me it was scar tissue.
For the past two years I continued to email with Dr Uppal and he continued to reassure me the bumps would eventually go. I have since had facial x-ray's and visited several cosmetic surgeons in LA who have advised me the bumps are not scar tissue. They are in fact bone and cartilage, caused by excess removal from the center of the nose. Dr Uppal was either fully aware that the bone could not be removed with his THREE techniques of applied pressure, steroid injections and corrective surgery, which would make him fully incompetent. Or he did know, making him negligent.
No apology or compensation received. I am now awaiting a consultation for extremely expensive corrective surgery.
I advised everyone to wait a year after surgery before leaving a review, as the nose can change so much within that time period.
