Need to undergo a revision now

ORIGINAL POST

I Regret Doing my Primary Rhinoplasty with Robert Ciardullo

$10,045
More than a ten year depression following my primary rhinoplasty with Robert Ciardullo. Money, effort and time gone to waste, and need to undergo a revision now. I was a great candidate and choose as I was mislead by all the positive reviews on his account on real self. I regret using his services.

Problems after rhinoplasty with him: alar supra retraction, alar rim retraction, inverted v deformity, a little pinching tip , irregular bridge.

Thank you for posting this. I'm so nervous because I have a consultation with him in May and was thinking about finally doing it after wanting one for almost 13 years. This is the first bad review I ever saw of his.

Do not choose a doctor with even ONE bad review, there's plenty out there that do not have ANY poor reviews!

Please take your time to choose a doctor. A primary is so much easier to do when is done right. Any complications will lead to a revision for double the price and the process is very traumatic.

Sorry, I meant right a year after surgery vs what it looks like today 10 years later. Were the issues you stated presenting themselves right after surgery?

Yes, the problem was visible right after they took the cast off, especially the asymmetry in the nostril. It impacted my self esteem greatly. I’m currently healing from my revision rhinoplasty done in Turkey and I decided it was time to address the situation with the doctor who caused my problems. Maybe I help out someone and avoid them all the distress I went through. I will look for the pictures, to post them.

Wow! That’s crazy! How long after your initial surgery did you contact him? Someone told me he has a clause where based on his discretion - you get a free revision. I don’t know if you even want that but he owes you something. You should try and reach out again or call.

As requested, I share with you some of my my problem area pictures resulting from my primary rhinoplasty done in White Plains, by Robert Ciardullo end of the year 2011. The picture shared below where taken during my recovering first year year vs pictures completely healed after. If I could do it all over again I wouldn’t, not with him at least.
