At the very very beginning of my nose journey, I am 4 days post op and already got my cast, stints and stitches out. It’s been a rough recovery for me. Bruised and swollen to unrecognizable lengths. I felt sick all day yesterday after having everything removed. Because my face is so black and blue and swollen I don’t recognize myself even one bit when I look in mirror which has left me really disturbed and worried. I hope I made the right decision, my nostrils look uneven and my septum is quite swollen and pronounced and also looks uneven am hoping from what I have red it will even out in the next coming weeks, I’m worried there are sutures inside my nose causing the nostril difference so I wonder if I should speak up sooner, trying to be patient.

I regret this surgery and wish I had not gone through with the rhinoplasty side with this doctor. He talked a big game about people from LA coming to see him, the only photo I ever saw in his office was of him and Paris Hilton and her mom which was suspicious. He acted like he could do what I needed no problem and in the end he did not fix the things I asked him to. At my 5 week post op he told me to push on my nose because the bone was migrating back to its original position, this caused a terrible bump on my nose to which his assistant texted me back (after I sent photos) that I’m pushing too hard. But he told me to push with pressure so honestly it’s so frustrating they are trying to put this on me when he did not secure my nose In the first place. My nose is crooked and awful and there is a loss of cartilage I had already which he said he could fix no problem and guess what it’s still there. My nose looks worse on camera which is tragic because my original nose I didn’t like actually looked better on camera so I really regret this. I know some swelling will still go down but it’s just gonna make the crooked bump and cartilage loss look even worse and my nose keeps getting smaller and no longer fits my face. I could go on but I really wish I could get a refund at least because I will have to get another surgery and I would never see this doctor again. He had a heart attack right after my surgery and now I can’t even get an appointment with him to show him how awful it’s healing. I did everything I could do to make this run smoothly but he just did a hack job and if you’re thinking of seeing him. Don’t. He made me look less attractive than I used to be which he insisted I was going to look amazing. I guess you get what you pay for. UGH. Also I have a hemosadin stain essentially a permanent black eye left over from this surgery, I have done a laser treatment in the last week as well as some under eye filler to try to camouflage it.

Just want to say - I feel for you. Rough couple years of luck. I can tell it’s a mixture of interest and love for procedures, just the basic human wish to look nice, being optimistic towards deals.
Remember: we see ourselves 3000% more critically than others, 10-15% less attractive isn’t enough to truly affect how the world treats you, and everything is fixable. Either by correction, makeup application or making other parts 10-20% more attractive to focus attention.
Don’t lose your optimistic spirit because that’s what tends to really attract people. People like that.

I am so sorry, but I had the same experience! I didn’t even want any work done cosmetically on my nose, I just wanted my deviated septum fixed. He talked me into a nose job and I look NOTHING like myself! I have a short pig nose now!
I was totally fine with my longer nose. It was elegant and unique. I look like a freak now and will have to start researching reconstructive surgery with someone who knows what they’re doing.
He doesn’t listen to what you want. You’re right, most surgeons will show you pictures. He has none. He said his modification was going to be so slight that “No one would know.” Well EVERYONE knows and they are speechless. My friends and family are like “Oh my God! What happened to your face!”
He needs to know he ruins people’s lives. I am depressed and will not leave the house.

Oh no! This 'doctor' needs to be avoided at all costs. So sorry you have been through this. Keep smiling. x

EXACTLY. I brought in pictures so that he could see what I did not 100% want...and that is exactly what he did! I don't even like to look in the mirror anymore.

Hi, I left you a message regarding this doctor.
I’m going through the same. Have you been able to get any outcome?

Zero outcome. Zero resolution. All he ever says is, "You're not done healing yet." Seriously? It has been over one and a half years. I think he stalls to hold off until the time for us to sue him is passed. He needs to have his license revoked. I am going to the medical board.
