Terrible Experience

Dr. Luis Sandoval ruined my face. He promised results that looked NOTHING like the outcome. If you go to his Instagram page he only knows how to do ONE type of result. If that’s what you’re looking for then go for it, but if not then stay far away.

Hi there. Can you go into detail ? Did he leave you botched ? I have surgery scheduled with him in March and I want to know more about your outcome. Thanks

Hey, unfortunately he did. I had a dorsal hump that I wanted straightened with no changes to my tip (which naturally pointed down and was a bit bulbous but I loved it). He agreed to do minimal changes by making my side profile straight with no changes to the tip. I was stern about these changes being conservative and not having a sloped nose. When he sent me the photo from the OR table I was mortified. He removed so much cartilage from the tip that it was resected by about 5 mm, took it upon himself to add cartilage to the top of the new tip so it’s over projected and pointy, made it upturned and made my entire nose extremely narrow and thin (bridge and tip) when it was a perfect width before. Oh, and my nostrils look like two slits now. I have to get a revision because it’s visibly botched and does not fit my face, which is taxing emotionally, physically and financially. He also neglects to take responsibility or follow up if he knows you don’t like the work he has done. If you’re looking for a doctor who is precise, listens to what you want and provides results based on your requests don’t go to him. Lastly, a big red flag with him is that he posts the same final nose shape on most of his patients via Instagram for the past several months. Hope this helps.

Hi, I feel like my nose is botched as well. I got my surgery done with him a few months ago and not liking the result. Can you share more about your experience?
October 28, 2024
Hi I’m planning on going with him, Is there any way you could also share why you think you got botched ?

Hi, I’m going with him in February and I’m so bummed out I found this, I’m having second thoughts but is there any way you could tell me more about your experience? What you didn’t like he did.

I'm sorry that happened to you too. I'm frightened to do another procedure so I've been holding off on a revision rhinoplasty. I am considering it if I can find the right doctor. If you look at my comment to a previous reply above you'll see what my experience was like.

It's upturned and thin. He said he wouldn't alter the tip of my nose and he did that as well. If you look at my comment above it'll explain more about my experience post-op. I suggest doing more research and consulting with doctors in the states who don't limit their results to one look. There are several surgeons who are incredibly talented, detailed, listen to your concerns and provide you with more natural results if that's what you want. They may cost more, but it's worth avoiding the trauma of ending up with a result you don't want and the possibility of having to go under the knife again. Good luck!

I just found a doctor to do my revision. So many things wrong with my nose. I’ve been so upset and recently got diagnosed with panic disorder because I’ve had several anxiety attacks from just having to live like this. This doctor I’m doing my revision with has given me hope.

Oops sorry I thought my first comment didn’t post lol

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I also had a horrible experience with him. Turns out he’s not even certified by AMCPER. Please check out my post about him, I don’t want this to happen to anyone else

What’s your post about him?
