I've waited 2 years to write this review. I had a primary septorhinoplasty in 2014 and a scar revision in 2015. My main problem was the crookedness of my nose. I wish i had my original nose back. My nose is slanted, asymmetric, and short. He removed way too much of my left alar rim resulting in a short nose....which looks too feminine for a man. He also removed too much cartilage from the the sides of my nose....i did not ask for any of this. Did i mention, my nostrils are very asymmetric. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. All i wanted was a straight nose. I did not ask for my alar rim to be removed or for cartilage to be removed from the sides of my nose. I've consulted other surgeons and they said i have a poor outcome. I would not have gone through with this surgeon if i knew he would do all these things.

Do your self a favour, ask questions and ask for a solid plan before surgery. I wish i knew all these things before committing to surgery. There was no digital imaging or plan before surgery. He just said what he would do. You need to have him draw it out and outline what exactly will be done.

I wish i could have my money refunded, so that i could fix this miss and move on with my life. I should have gone to another surgeon who charged a lot less. I paid about $2500 more than what other surgeons had quoted.

I'm so so sorry for this. Has the dr offered to do a revision? Have you asked him for a refund?

He did, but i lost faith in him... I don't want him to screw up any more. I did ask for a refund, they flat out said no.

I don`t know how a person can sleep at night knowing they created such a terrible result. My nose is beyond repair. He should at least help pay to have my nose fixed by another surgeon; who has the experience.

I know I feel the same. Mine wants to fix it for free but I really don't want him to touch it again I'm afraid he fill screw up again and then I'll have to wait another yr. it's been 4 months for me and there is not a day I don't cry! I cry every time I have to leave the house or just look in the mirror. I regret it 100%. I don't understand how can it look worse after. And didn't he see how it looked when he was closing everything up? Who did your surgery?

Jamil Ahmad did the primary and secondary surgery. You need to see an experienced surgeon. Who performed your surgery ?

Oh wow I thought he was suppose to be good as well. My primary was with dr. Richards and my fault cause he doesn't specialize in rhinoplasty, I made 2 consultations in march with dr. Torgeson and dr. Rival . But I don't know if I will be able to afford them. And I will have to wait to September cause that will be a year.

He’s horrible he did my nose plus a revision and it looks pointy and I have trouble breathing. My right nostril has collapsed as well. He’s a garbage doctor. Someone needs to call cpso and file a complaint cuz he’s rude once he knows he’s screwed up.

I feel the same about my nose. I wish I never touched it. I feel like a disfigured monster! He wants to fix it after a year passes but I don't really want him to touch it. So now I have to save a lot more $ and go to a specialist in revision.

This guy ruined my nose. I can't believe how he messed it up so badly. I should never have let him cut my alar rim.
