Ruined my Life
GioaJune 8, 2019
I am writing this review because I wished someone had saved me from this surgeon.
I met with Dr. Loeb to consult about a nose job. We agreed on a relatively wide nose - a very minor adjustment from my birth nose. I was told that there was "no chance" of nasal collapse.
I don't have to tell you what happened next. Loeb went rogue. he performed multiple procedures on my nose that I did not consent to - he shortened it, cut more than half of my tip cartilage off, overly narrowed it. I have several deformities including an inverted V. Worst of all I can't breathe because the nose is completely collapsed in the mid-vault and my collapsed nasal bones re restricting airway.
I told Loeb my nightmare nose was pinched. I'm pinched like a rat. I told Loeb I needed to remain recognizable. People do not recognize me.
Loeb's gas-lit me. He told me to see an ENT if I couldn't breathe. When the ENT confirmed that my cartilages were collapsed Loeb continued to insist that I CAN breathe.
This man took a perfectly beautiful face and made it ugly and weird. I am no longer a champion yogini because I can't breathe. It's costs me thousands of dollars in consultation fees and traveling (all over the world) to find someone to fix me.
I was in the prime of my life before I stepped into his office. Now I live with PTSD.

The same thing happened to me ... literally down to every detail and deformity you mentioned , he did everything I asked him not to do , I am currently recovering from a reconstruction performed by an amazing surgeon .. private message me if you can ! I'd love to help you out if you're still on the search

Definitely go to Dr Ion!! He’s the best in the world and will give you the nose you always dreamt of. I’m so sorry you had this experience, it’s so scary and awful to put your trust in somebody who completely ignores your every request and does what they want while you’re under.

By the way, I know you said you wrote me a private message but I have no idea how to retrieve it!!

Ha. Well it would suffice if you would just let us know how Ion fixed your lip. Also, if you "loved" your morph.

loved my morph and I have no idea how he fixed my lip... all I know is that frankel turned my nose downwards when it used to be upwards, so Ion rotated it back up. I dont know the technical terms..... hope this helps!
Did he give you operative notes, at least?
I'm so, so sorry. I'm botched too and it destroys you; you feel like you paid someone to violate you. And it feels personal because you see all those good reviews.
