Very disappointed - he placed spreader grafts without my consent

I wonder who performed my surgery???

$10,500
Please see the last line on my ” Operative Report”. It should read ”I performed the entire procedure”. It states Dr. G was only ”present”. I was never informed someone else may be operating on me. Recently, I was also told by multiple revision specialists that yes, my columella was lifted. The underlined sentence, regarding medial crura, reflects this. I was never told he was going to lift my columella. Shocked!

I have had the same thing happen. Who are u thinking for revision. I’ve looked at several doctors but I keep going back to Dr. Hilinski. I think his work and his background speak for themself. Would love any feedback on others you have considered for revision
Did you find out who did your surgery?
wow this is horrifying
It’s far from horrifying
Something similar happened to me when I had the procedure done in Milan: a different surgeon performed the nose job.
However I have to say that your nose is not that bad at all from the pics.
Mine has inverted v, enlarged bridge, enlarged tip, irregularities on the bridge, minor pollybeak deformity.
If you have breathing issues then it is a health reason and you should fix it asap.
But from the pics it is not a bad result.
Bad results are others.
My nose is worse than yours and I do not consider it a really bad result, even though my bridge and tip are larger than before.
Mine is a not good result, but really bad results are people who get severe deformities. Your result is totally acceptable on average.
did you simply ask for the operative report? i dont remember getting one with my procedures
Go to medical records department or find out where he keeps his

A New Patient Eval Report

Here are a few pictures of the Eval Report by a very qualified rhinoplasty specialist I saw recently. He corfirmed the diagnosis of a pinched tip, verticalization of the side walls, due to unnecessary osteotomies and shifting in the base of the nasal structure and using (3.4 cm long) spreader grafts. He also confirmed the total removal of the usable septal cartilage during the primary rhinoplasty by Dr. Grigoryants. I didn't consent to these drastic procedures. The goal was to shave off a minor dorsal hump and to deproject the nose very conservatively.

Wow, I’m so sorry this happened to you :( Welcome to the community. I hope you find support here <3
Why why why?!!!!! What do they het by doing things like that :( theyre so evil!!!! What type of report/scan is this?
Omg I’m so sorry he did it to you!!! Terrible surgeon. He did it to me too
I am 1 month post op from surgery with Dr. G. I was not emotionally prepared for this as I’ve been very depressed for the past month. Not because he botched my nose, but because I wasn’t expecting to look like this. I reached out to him about my concerns and he’s been very responsive and helpful so far. I have hope. But I definitely regret getting this done given my before nose was nice—it just had a hump. I hope one day I can get past this.

Dr. Grigoryants and I communicated mainly via an app called Virtru. This online tool allows him to retract communication through emails, and to my dismay this is what occurred. By him using this feature it makes it difficult to save email correspondence, however thankfully I took screenshots of all/most of our communication.
Wow! That is truly awful. The fact that he even has that feature should be a major red flag to potential patients.
Omg!!! Same with me!!!
