Septo/rhino with Dr. Ostrom Left Me with Deformities
KK444August 16, 2023
I came in with a deviated septum and a dorsal hump. On the hospital bed I showed her pictures, practically begging her not to remove too much of my dorsal hump and leave at least some of it left. I wanted very minimal change. The main goal of straightening the septum was stated clearly. Immediately after the surgery, the nose was still just as crooked or arguably even more crooked. She had completely hacked off my dorsal hump leaving very little of my bridge remaining. Since then I’ve spoken to 3 double-board certified surgeons that are all members of the rhinoplasty society and they’ve told me that my surgery with Dr. Ostrom was botched and left my with a pollybeak deformity and a still very deviated septum. I politely addressed my concerns to her and she gaslit me saying nothing was wrong and she refused to answer my questions reguarding if anything was done to my supratip or radix during surgery. I’ve then been unable to schedule anymore consultations with her and she NEVER cared about checking up on me as a patient after cast removal. I wanted to like this surgeon but the lack of empathy she had for a 16 year old who’s confidence and quality of life was damaged after the surgery she performed eventually pushed me to make this review. The fact that she has a 100% 1 star review record for septoplastys on this site speaks for itself. Please do not make the same mistake I did with this surgeon. It can ruin your life.
