Bad Nose Job and Poor Followup - Seattle, WA

Google Dr. Philip Young before doing business with this man and don't be deceived by degrees. I chose to go with Dr. Young because it appears that he is double board certified. Also after observing my nose he was very confident that he could fix it. This was my fourth nose surgery and it was a full reconstructive surgery using rib cartilage. Dr. Young claims that he has all the same training as the leading nose surgeons in the world. Now, having 3 previous failed surgeries, I knew quite well the possibility of failure. So I asked him what would happen if the surgery failed and how long it would take to know. He said if the surgery failed that he would refund his cut and it would take about a year after the surgery to tell if it was successful or not. The surgery took him four hours longer than he said it would (10 to 11 hours total). He was supposed to collect the rib cartilage via a 1/4 inch incision under my pectoral muscle like good surgeons do. Instead, he cuts a 2.5 inch incision straight through my top left abdominal muscle. Recovering from this was more painful than the nose reconstruction itself. When he took the bandage off my nose it was HUGE. I mean, I looked scary. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. The swelling has gone down a lot since then, but my nose is still very big and bulky. The tip of my nose is a big glob of cartilage, the nose bridge is crooked, and the right side of the nose is lower than the left side. Here I am three years later and my nose looks worse than before the surgery. I asked Dr. Young for a refund and he says he never said anything about giving me a refund. However, he would like to continue to "help" me by doing another surgery. I told him that I would not let him do another surgery on me even if he paid me. Dr. Young has no talent as a nose surgeon. Out of the four surgeons, my experience with Dr. Young was by far the WORST. I urge you to stay far away from Dr. Young.

I am sorry this happened to you. I hope you can find a skilled surgeon to fix this doctor's mess. Good luck.
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. It must have been very painful. I too live with a botched primary rhinoplasty. I hope you will be able to find the right surgeon to help you. And thanks so much for sharing your experience and letting others know of the possible rhinoplasty outcomes.

That shows what kind of person dr Philip Young is, he responds to almost all the negative reviews from his patients with an accusations of fake reviews done by other doctors. Now I see that there is a pending action for his medical license to be revoked because some of his patients have filed lawsuits and complaints to Washington Department of Health with some of these patients end up being permanently deformed/disfigured. And the same patient who wrote a complaint about dr young on this website and was also accused by dr young to be fake and unautheticanted turns out to be a real patient whose complaint could be read in the Washington DOH website. This doctor is UNREAL!!!
Wow why do you have to stoop so low by replying to every negative reviews from your patients who were so unfortunate to fall victims to your botched surgeries with an accusation towards other doctors??? Perhaps you're the one who write fake bad reviews about the other doctors who you feel are your competitions. I've read and seen enough reviews about your botched surgeries including your many lawsuits and that currently you have pending actions by the Washington Department of Health to revoke your medical license as result of your lack of skills, your unethical behaviours towards your patients and your very bad plastic surgeries resulting in your patients' deformities.
you mess his life and after you wish him happiness, is better to work as a boutcher
I am so sorry for what you have gone through! Sounds as though you were treated as an experiment!!! Don't let him touch you again :( I hope you can find an expert surgeon to help you but I can only imagine your disappointment and despair after 4 surgeries gone wrong. My sincerest sympathy to you.
I'm so sorry for all the pain you've been through. Are you going to try again to get it fixed or have you decided to live with the last results? Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
