Retracted columella and rejected incision
Coming to this place for a rhinoplasty is the biggest mistake I made because I ended up botched. I asked the surgeon’s practice manager several times if he was familiar and had experience with African noses, she responded yes, but 3 things happened to me after the procedure. A severely retracted columella, rejected incision and scars.
Retracted columella
Soon as I removed the packing from my nose the next day, I realized something wasn’t right I had a severally retracted columella right away. I have read documents online which indicate that people of African and Asia decent a very likely to get a retracted columella after rhinoplasty so different technics are used to avoid it. For my case none of that was put into consideration. And the doctor kept on saying that he saw nothing wrong with my nose. My nose looks bad this has left me depressed and regretting having done this procedure.
Rejected incision
One month after my rhinoplasty I was still experiencing a lot of pain then one morning I woke up to find a rejecting incision cutting through the inside of my upper lip it had been placed under my nose. This was a very very scary incident and when I called this place to tell them about it they told me the doctor was only available to see me 3 days later and take it out.
This rejected incision did significant damage to my gums, I had to see my dentist who took photos and xrays then monitor the healing as I had to follow up with him several times and all this was paid out of pocket because my dental insurance refused to cover it. My dentist told me I literally had a gaping hole between my mouth and nose, it took 2 months to heal, he told me to ask why cartilage graft was not used in this area instead of something synthetic? I did ask the question but never got a response. I guess some of us just don’t deserve good services.
