Worst Decision of my Life

Worst Decision of my Life

There isn’t one day I wake up and do not regret going to Dr. Naderi. He is a terrible plastic surgeon. He made me look ten times worse and my entire face is out of proportion and I wish I never let him touch my face. My nose before was long and pointy and he said he was just going to lift it and make it smaller. Now I have a wide nose that is way too wide for my face and a bulbous tip.
He has no idea how to create refined noses, just look at his before and after photos. Also, his office definitely uses angles and lighting to try to make the afters look better. In my before photo, they used flash to try to make my nose appear wider and after they used no flash and made sure a shadow was at the side of my face to try to hide how wide it is. His own followers commented on my before and after and said how I looked exotic before and now I look so basic.
On the day of surgery, he didn’t even greet my family or acknowledge them sitting in the waiting room. I should have known then to run away. He barely spoke to me and made no effort to make me feel comfortable. After I expressed I wasn’t happy he didn’t offer any solutions or listened he just kept saying it looks great and that I’m “over analyzing it” Also his aggressive technique made my entire face swollen and it still is and my skin is thicker, eyes look smaller and my smile is way less relaxed and more still even over a year after.
After several back and forth emails, he finally admitted that I could re-break the nose to make it thinner and add a graft to make the tip refined but that I should go to another surgeon since our relationship wasn’t good anymore...
I have been miserable for over a year of my life because he promised me a refined beautiful nose and what I received is my natural beauty taken away and such a downgrade to my entire face. I also have to get laser skin tightening because he stretched my skin so much that now I have sagging eyelids. I could go on and on about all of the issues this surgery caused me including breathing allergies etc. I don’t want to post photos but if you private message me I am happy to share them with you and tell you more about the terrible experience.
I have since connecting with several other patients who went to him and were unhappy. They also have the concerns I mentioned including: lack of refined tip, breathing issues, change in smile, change of eye shape (due to wider bridge) and they agreed about his demeanor of being dismissive instead of offering help or to re do this mistake.
Dr. Naderi doesn’t actually care or listen to the negative side effects people experience, he will just tell you you’re overthinking it and need nasal spray. Please please do not ruin your life and trust your face with this awful doctor!!!

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, and my heart truly aches when I read your story because, without seeing pictures, it reminded me of what my daughter had gone through. The first surgery resulted in her nose appearing bulbous and fuller, even though she went into surgery with what was a very long and pointed nose. She was very disappointed, and we all knew she required a revision (but with a different P.S. because the first one said it looked fine, etc). After about two years later, she had saved enough money to afford a revision with a really good PS who had performed many revisions (and had actual before/after photos to prove it). He was able to refine her nose to fit her face and removed the bulbousness at the end (he said there was a lot of scar tissue he had to remove from the first surgery, whatever that meant).It has been years since the revision, and she could not look or be any happier with her results. Honestly, I think it was good it took her two years to save the money because this not only allowed the nose to fully settle (it took many months for the swelling to completely settle down) but it allowed her time to research and find a P.S. who she felt comfortable with and who had a good number of revisions under his belt with actual before/after photos to prove it! Please hang in there and don't give up! I wish all the best of luck to you.

You have no idea how much this comment means to me! I’ve never actually heard of someone with a nose like mine getting it back and this is so reassuring. Can you tell me the name of who she went to? Would you be comfortable sharing photos in the private messages?

Thank you so much. I am still in the process of looking for a revision doctor but I think I am pretty confident in either Aaron Kosins or going to Turkey to a doctor there to fix it. Just wish I never got myself into this as my natural nose was ten times better than what I have now.
September 29, 2022
This gives me hope, too. I'm now starting to consider looking to have these things fixed but haven't yet because I've been scared of what the extent of the damage really is... And the possibility I may not be able to fix it.
Appreciate your reassuring words. So happy your daughter wound up having a good experience.
If possible, I would also love to know the name of the plastic surgeon she went to, as the damage Naderi did will necessitate me getting a revision.
July 31, 2021
Can I please see the photos as well?
August 3, 2021
Yeah I can email them to you if you want to private message me.
February 2, 2022
Can we speak more about this? My surgery is in a month and I’m now just seeing these reviews.. please reply back thank you!
February 5, 2022
I would definitely cancel. I hate what he did to my face.
January 23, 2022
hi could i see your before & after photos? trying to find a good revision ps
July 31, 2022
I’m so sorry Dr Naderi botched up ur surgery but thank you for sharing your experience. I was considering him but not know. I hope u eventually get the results u want. If possible share the name of the doctor who corrected the surgery
August 3, 2022
Wasn’t able to ever get it fixed.
September 29, 2022
After seeing your review I posted mine too to share my experience. I was too humiliated to even talk about it but your review convinced me I need to tell my experience too. I'm having all the same problems you are. It's hard to not sob sitting here thinking about all the damage, neglect, blame, and embarrassment I've gone through because of this.

If anyone is reading this, please please please cancel your appointment with him. It's not worth it. We are not overly emotional premature reviewers, we're "healed" patients who left botched, were not listened to and even blamed, and now have a lifetime of problems because of this doctor. I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from going to this guy so badly.

I totally understand. It’s extremely hard to post about something that puts you into a depression and such deep regret on the internet for anyone to see. I also felt that prospective patients need to be warned about this doctor. He is NOT looking out for your best interest and he does not have the talent he claims he has. He is doing a terrible job and lying and will keep telling you it will get better over time just so you leave him alone. Even if we put looks aside, he failed to diagnose or help me with the medical problems he caused me to have that I had to consult with several other doctors to fix. I agree that all women should avoid this doctor at all costs.

Rock hard nose

Nurturing8042
I forgot to add in this review- he probably won’t tell you that your nose will be rock hard for life after this surgery. I was told it was swelling and will go away but I am now a year and 8 months lost and my nose feels like a rock. It’s super awkward when you’re being intimate and I notice it when I sleep.

I didn’t get the results I was hoping for either. I did ethnic (AA) rhinoplasty at his office.
August 3, 2022
He claims he is an expert for ethnic noses but he makes everyone have a scooped up nose that is piggy and wide from the front. Other doctors preserve peoples original look resulting in a natural change. Dr Naderi made me look like a completely different person and I never agreed to this.
November 4, 2022
Did you go through with your surgery? I’m interested to hear back as he’s had a lot of complaints and the truth needs to get out. Thanks.

Nose ruined in the inside as well

Nurturing8042
A couple of weeks ago I went to an ENT finally after being bothered by my nose closing up frequently. He diagnosed me with enlarged turbinates and it is from Naderi’s surgery. He said that my turbinates are swollen and reducing my airflow so now I am on two nasal sprays to try to fix it. I haven’t seen much improvement with the spray and may have to have a turbinates reduction with this new ENT now. This whole thing has been a nightmare- not only does my entire face look ten times worse from his surgery but I can’t breathe and I’m so uncomfortable all of the time. If you are considering this doctor run away. He is awful.

That was supposed to say I am sorry (not prey)
September 14, 2021
Research on here rs bout drs who have only 5 star reviews and only good reviews for procedure u want done and make sure dr has no negative comments bout procedure u r contemplating having done
July 7, 2022
All the doctors have negative comments silly. No doctor has all positive comments
August 3, 2022
November 4, 2022
How does this happen??? The whole purpose of rs is honest reviews that should stay up, like yelp. This is very disconcerting and I’ve heard a lot about his bad attitude and poor outcomes. Thanks for pointing this out!

Can you send me pictures of your nose job?
