Ruined my Life

I had a rhinoplasty several years ago & it’s ruined my confidence. My surgeon told me my concerns were just me “seeking perfection” but as you can see from my photos, my nose is now collapsing. I have severe breathing problems through right nostril, can’t sleep on my left side as the right nostril becomes totally blocked due to cartilage collapse. I have a visible septum up the middle of my nose, open roof, large dent on one side & inverted v deformity. I’m more self conscious now than I was before. I don’t know who to turn to. Can my gp help? I can’t afford revision surgery.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, something similar happened to me but it was with a different surgeon. You can go to your Gp & ask for a referral to ENT have your nose assessed. I have recently consulted with Lucian ion as I have ongoing structural issues with my nose & I suspect a slight open roof & he was positive and helpful but I will need rib cartilage.

Sorry to hear that. I really don’t think I’d trust an ent dr though as I know tahery still performs for nhs. I’d love to go to Ion but I just can’t afford it right now. I’ve lost all confidence & completely hate myself. If you go for a revision with ion please keep me updated, I’d love to hear how you get on.

I will do, I can completely relate to your situation & have very similar issues also. are you planning to consult with anyone in particular?

When I can actually afford to go ahead with surgery I’m thinking Ion, I’ve also heard good things about sultan Hassan. In the meantime I’m considering filler with dr yusra, although I’m worried about potential complications. It’s just awful, I hate how I look now but at the same time I don’t really want another surgery for fear of it ending up even worse! Then I know I can’t live feeling the way I do. These drs have no idea the damage they’re doing to people’s mental health!

I wonder about the benefit of having a consultation re surgery before going ahead with fillers. Ions consult costs £300. I think they can complicate things somewhat if you were to then have surgery, I don’t know though it’s just something I’ve heard.

i would recommend you look properly in Ion recent reviews I think there is more and more his unhappy patient online
like I said before my daughter had nose ruined by Tahery, we went to few surgeons for consultation(included ion)and we decided go ahead with Sultan Hassan,result is wonderful she is more than happy it was worth pay more to be in safety hands
wish you both strength [RS bleep]

Does your daughter have a review on here so I can see her pics? Would love to see the results.
May 3, 2019
no she hasn't but I can send you on email if you want

sadly this guy who ruined his nose works in ENT chester hospital ,I hope GP will not send devastated85 to Tahery

This is exactly why I don’t feel I can trust another dr, especially an nhs one! Tahery shouldn’t be allowed to operate on anyone, he used my photos at transform to show before & after a to potential new patients-that’s how good it looked at first! Little do they know all the problems were hidden by swelling at that point & he’s a cowboy of a surgeon who dupes patients into trusting him, just like he did me!
May 3, 2019
does transform gave you money back?
May 3, 2019
No. My solicitor discovered Tahery was performing without insurance so can’t be pursued for compensation & transform went bankrupt & are under new management now, (they’re now called “transforming lives” therefore all patients wanting refunds from transform can’t ever get them as the company technically no longer exists! Very sneaky move by them!

Also had my nose ruined by the same surgeon, I feel for you :-( x

did you had another revision?can you update your review please?
March 3, 2020
Hi, no I haven’t had a revision yet as I am currently pregnant. Trying to focus on the positives in my life not obsess over my nose bu it’s hard. It’s all I think about when I’m talking to people & all I see when I look in the mirror. I’m praying to afford a revision with sultan Hassan next year x

Revision or Filler?

Devestated85

I have such a lumpy, dented, uneven nose following botched surgery 8 years ago. I’m not sure I dare trust anyone else to try & fix it plus I’m scared of looking even worse! I spoke to a non surgical rhinoplasty dr & she said due to the location of the dents in my nose, filler would be “high risk” for blindness. How could I possibly ever risk that? I’m at a total loss over what to do. I can’t bear this!

Sorry to hear about your story. You have an open roof with alar collapse. Seek opinions from credible ENT surgeons who can carry out reconstruction.
February 19, 2019
Do you think it’s something the nhs would help with as I have breathing issues? The surgeon who did my original was apparently an ent surgeon & he botched loads of people. I don’t know who I can trust!!!

The indent on my bridge seems to appear more sunken when I’m dehydrated or tired. When I have a cold, it’s less dented, I guess due to swelling inside the nose. As the years go by it’s getting worse & what started as a small dent on the top of the bridge is now a shadow that runs down the entire wide of my nose.

The worst part is, it’s starting to happen on the other side!!
