hello, thanks darling, but no, it's not beautiful. There is a big dent on the right, and also if you look at the column you will see it is visibly deviated. There is also a depression on the left side etc, so definitely not an ideal result ;)

Yes, but probably not in Iran, I feel like they all do a lot of marketing just to give you poor results in the end, I am thinking about doing revision either in the US or South Korea, and pay as much as required to get the best possible result. What about you?

I really don't think it's terrible. Is it that bad in real life?

For fk sake people need to stop promoting Lucion ion, He has caused numerous infections, one leading to necrosis, has many unhappy patients and causes breathing problems.

Agree. I’ve had two operations with him, and can’t breathe at all though either side most of the time. It makes every aspect of my life very difficult, from love to work, exercise to relaxing, sleeping to waking up, absolutely none of it comes easy anymore. He removed SO much cartilage- it seems obvious to me that I wouldn’t be able to breathe. But somehow after ‘600+’ operations he’s performed he wasn’t able to predict that? And because I look fine, every surgeon in Europe tells me he did a great job… It’s a disastrous situation. If he did such a great job, why tf can’t I breathe or speak normally like I used to?

Got a pollybeak and a LOT of swelling between the eyes and on the tip of the nose. As a consequence, had to keep wearing stripes for 6 months.

Also went to do steroids injection which improved the situation a little bit. However will have to go for another revision to correct my nose!

ORIGINAL POST

I travelled from europe to iran to get revision...

sarrauNovember 30, 2016
I travelled from europe to iran to get revision rhinoplasty with dr. Mahboubirad in June and I am deeply regretting it. Now my nose looks bulbous and is very large from front view -both the upper & lower parts of my nose look incredibly swollen all the time-. I have contacted rad Medical tour but they have kept telling me that my nose looks wonderful, that there is nothing wrong etc, while I have visited several surgeons in Germany/Denmark, who are, on the contrary, concerned about my nose!
So far, they have told me that: 1.Farshid Mahboubirad has injected silicone in my nose -which I had never been made aware of-
2. I must have an infection/inflammation. In any case, they have all agreed that I have had a botched surgery and that the surgeon should take responsibility for it.
So far, M. Mahboubirad and his team have been very unprofessional and unwilling to help and I would therefore advise anyone living outside Iran against undergoing rhinoplasty with Dr. Mahboubirad. As you can tell from my and other ppl's experience here with Dr. Mahboubirad, complications/deformities are a common thing with him and if that happens, you will be left to deal with it on your own!
Also, in case you haven't realised he keeps re-posting pictures of the same people on his instagram feed every 6 months, while he has indeed carefully avoided posting the after pictures I sent to his team.
All in all, Iran is not a place for "good quality" plastic surgery but only for "cheap" plastic surgery like in Thailand or Czech republic..

Hey, sorry for the late answer! Yes, I can share picture with you if you want through private messages!

I am so surprised you got botched in SK, I thought clinics there were so professional, what happened?

Would love if you can DM me some pics, happy to show you mine also. I had a lovely upturned nose which they decided during surgery needed to be turned down and they decided to cut out some scar tissue from my right nostril. This means I am now walking round with something similar to your polybeak only I also have a big slice out the top of my right nostril. Its awful. Am now trying to source someone to fix this mess and just getting a lot of flack from Aussie Dr's who say "thats what you get for going overseas"... very helpful (not). When I corresponded with Dr Farshid he sent me pictures showing how he' corrected this sort of thing but I'm thinking thats probably not true now.

Hi darl, so sorry to read your story, i had left a review about him on Realself while ago, wish u had seen it before going through this! I just have some terrible news to share about the Radmedtour and Farshidmahboubirad he actually operates in Ukraine now as well as in Iran, Khloe Khan who is a high profile girl on Insta had her nose done by him two weeks ago, not only her nose had been botched & ruined but she woke up in the middle of surgery as well and to top it all off, she had bruises & scars all over her body after surgery with him !!!! I even have photos of her wounds! She is extremely devastated and upset by the level of unprofessionalism shown by Dr Farshid and Radmedtour & is determined to go to the press once she heals

You're totally right! It's a shame cause there are plenty of good surgeons in Iran but unfortunately very few of them have english speaking staff..

How's your recovery going? Did your nose get any better?
