The pain that I have had in my eyes has been debilitating!

ORIGINAL POST

Don't Let This Man Touch Your Face!

Tracey Ryder

This dr. Ruined my face! I have no eyelids, and have to tape them shut at night to try and sleep, I now have dry eye disease since the surgery, and have had to have a $1.000 lipiflow treatment to try and get my oil glands to work again, I will need more treatments.

The pain that I have had in my eyes has been debilitating! They burn, sting, I feel like I have glass in them. When he did my lower eyelids he cut the outer corners of my eyelids passed the eyelash line, leaving me with a horrendous feeling I can't describe, it makes my lower eyelids feel pulled down, making the dry eye disease worse! He ruined my nose! I had to get another surgeon to fix what dr. Kolenda did to it, he put too much cartledge at the tip of my nose and it turned to the left side. The dr who fixed it, took a picture during surgery, to show me just how bad it was, and that it flopped to the left, not straight up like it should have been. I have the picture, it is shocking! 

I now have eyes that resemble a skeleton. Since dr. Kolenda did this to me, my family dr has given me Percocet for the extreme pain, and an extremely high dose of anti-anxiety medication to get through each day. I have had no life since dr. Kolenda operated on me in Nov 2019. I'm severely depressed, I have not left my couch. I use to be happy, physically fit, loved helping people. I have not been able to do anything because of the devastating effects it has had on my eyes and life!

I don't hate dr. Kolenda, I just don't want anyone else to go through what I have gone through and still going through!

I can only imagine what you are going through. Hard to believe he is a certified plastic surgeon. Did you find another doctor in Ontario to do a rhinoplasty revision? I hope the revision went well and hope there is a doctor who can help you with your eyes. Thank you for your review, I am sure it will help others to make an informed decision.

I'm so sorry this happened to you and I hope that your revision went amazing. Sending you love and praying that you are well. Could you please share who did your nose revision and eye revision? I also went through a botched nose job so I completely understand and can relate. I also just recently had a revision

Why does that picture look like you took it from off line? You should post pictures of you so people can see.

It took 3 months to see what damage he had done, I was in my own bathroom taking the pics of the after pics of what a disaster dr kolenda did to my face, this has ruined my face and eyes, I have such dry eyes, I have not been out of my house maybe 3 times in 2 years!

I put up pictures before the surgery, then pictures with no makeup, which were the after pics, or the other way around.

I took before and after pictures, the ones in the bathroom, was because it took a few months for the swelling to come down a bit, when I realized what had happened, and confronted dr. Kolenda...he denied he did anything wrong, he did an UNCONCENTED upper bleph, which caused my eyes to look like a skeleton, and that's when the dry eye disease started to get really bad, it's been a nightmare for almost 2 years now, I can't even leave my house, my eye prescription has changed drastically, and I have to tape my eyes shut at night, the only time I get a break from the pain, stinging and burning, and a gritty feeling, is when I go to bed at night I am having some very risky RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery next month and I'm very scared, plus the lower bleph I consented to, he actually cut the outter corners of my eyes, the feeling is unbearable, and cutting the outter eyes, can cause extreme dry eye disease, plus he took all fat, muscle, and skin...if you know what your doing, you don't remove fat, you reposition it, you don't cut the muscles, or remove too much skin!

I am so happy you found a surgeon to help you with your eyes. I am sure you are in good hands and I totally understand your fears. I truly believe your surgery will be successful.

Dr. Kolenda the Worst Dr. Ever

Tracey Ryder

This Dr. Ruined my face, he says he is known for his nose jobs...he did mine and it turned to the left. Now my eyes, he did an unconcented upper bleph leaving me with NO EYELIDS, when he did the lower lids he cut 2-3 inches PASSED my lash line, which pulls down my eyelids, I look like a 90 year old! Plus since surgery he did on me in 2019, I have been suffering from extreme dry eye disease, I feel like my eyes are blurry, stinging, and burning, and feel like they have grit in them! I can't live this way! I have found a wonderful reconstructive surgeon who REALLY cares about his patients, after I went back to see Dr. Kolenda, I told him my concerns, and he actually looked me in the eyes and said I looked really good! He can't admit he was wrong or try and help you. I have not left my home since 2019. I use to be a personal trainer, but I have not even trained myself, my eyes are soo uncomfortable, I sit on my couch, Dr. Kolenda has RUINED MY LIFE!

What did you try to achieve with the surgery and what happened to your eyes? How eyes related to the nose? Why you can't close them now?

I'm sorry you are going through this and hope you are okay. You mentioned you fixed your nose, would you please share who did your revision?
