I Had a Horrible Awful Experience After Rhinoplasty

Going to this doctor has been the most regretful and biggest mistake I have made. Dr.Elias has disappointed me in so many ways. When I first walked into his office I felt like he was trust worthy but I thought wrong! Don’t let all these good reviews fool you. I came to him for a rhino and was left with so many damages to my nose, my nose does not look natural what so ever. My nostrils are uneven, one is bigger than the other. I still have a bump and also my nose is going towards the right more and not completely straight and I cannot breath in my left nostril. He also gave me 2 different side profiles. Keep in mind I never had a problem with a crooked nose nor had breathing issues but sadly now I do all because of his work. When I had got my cast off he had made unnecessary comments saying I needed a rhino but in reality nobody needs plastic surgery. I had gotten a rhinoplasty because I truly believed that it was gonna improve my self esteem and make me more confident. But with his work that he has done to my nose he made me very depressed and heartbroken that every time that I look in the mirror I want to break down and cry. I am also still in school and with my nose looking like this I feel like almost everyone looks and judges my nose. So now I always keep my head down and don’t move my head to the sides to much because of how bogus my nose looks. I hate talking to anybody or making eye contact because of the stares they give to my nose. This situation has ruined me and I feel so alone and hurt. I hate myself for giving him my trust. The worst part is that I saved all my money to get my rhinoplasty so I can’t even afford for another rhinoplasty and wished i wouldn’t have even have to get another rhinoplasty in the first place . Please find a better doctor that is not gonna ruin ur nose and your mental health! I hope this honest review can help you!!

I also had my nose done by him in 2020 and have similar issues as you. My right nostril is slightly collapsed and is always getting clogged. One side of my nose has a bump while the other is smooth. Both sides look so different. I also feel like the tip is more bulbous than it was originally. It is also very noticeably crooked and is pulling towards the left side. I am currently looking for a surgeon to do a revision which sucks because once you get your nose done once, it costs double for a revision. My nose literally ruins the balance of my face and I feel like it is not symmetrical at all.
