I've had my primary septorhinoplasty a few years ago with Dr.Marcello Ghersi. I don't think the title of "doctor" suits him because in just half an hour (that's how long my surgery lasted) he completely destroyed my nose.
Dr. Ghersi completely shaved down my bridge when we agreed there was no need for my bridge to be touched. My bridge was perfect, no hump and completely straight. My problem was internal as I couldn't breathe.
The doctor was only supposed to fix my breathing and lift my tip slightly. Instead of doing that he took away all the cartilage I had in my bridge, removed a muscle at my tip which made the tip drop even more, and on top of that made my breathing SO much WORSE.
I can't even describe the emotional turmoil I went through after surgery. My nose only deteriorated with time. I no longer looked like myself, imagine it having a bridge, only a droopy tip. It took me a few years to find a revision doctor skilled enough to repair the damage Marcello Ghersi did in only HALF AN HOUR!
My family was destroyed as well when they saw my result and witnessed the emotional trauma I was put through by Marcello Ghersi. My revision doctor told me my septum was completely destroyed and he had to rebuild everything with rib cartilage. It was so bad that even though he did give me a beautiful nose aesthetically he couldn't restore my breathing 100% because it was severely damaged. The fact that now my nose looks normal and I can breathe (although not completely) is a miracle.
Marcello Ghersi butchered my nose and took no responsibility. An incredibly irresponsible doctor or should I even call him a doctor after he basically cut off most of my nose?
