Bad Experience

Just had a meeting with another doctor and he basically confirmed everything I was worried about, Golden practiced extremely aggressive and old techniques on noses, he removed lateral cartilage from my tip which isn't even done anymore, he is a total butcher. Golden is required to keep medical records of my operative reports but his office is closed and there is no way to reach him, by law those reports should exist, where are they Golden?? Would like to hear from others who have had ban experiences with im.

At the end of my teens I noticed that my nose had grown crooked and my hump was fairly large, my breathing was never that great either. I decided after high school that I would finally get my issues fixed. I wanted my nose straightened and my hump shaved down a bit. I was brought to golden by a family member, I was told he did a lot of noses and had plenty of experience, he told me he would fix everything during the consultation. He said to me exactly this; my nose tip was perfect and that he was not going to mess with it in any way. After seeing good reviews, some photos and gaining my trust I decided to go through with the procedure. After the primary it was clear he totally messed up, my nose was still crooked and my supratip was overly reduced, and I still had a hump, he assured me that his revisions were his best work and that he was going to fill in my supratip so I allowed him to take me under again (I woke up during surgery multiple times, a horrific experience, he just tells you to "shut up"). Afterward, I was left with this result, a somewhat straightened nose with a pinched tip and the same over-reduced supra tip. Dr. Golden lied straight to my face and instead just did whatever he wanted to do. I feel completely violated and I wish somebody warned me, this was supposed to be one of the best doctors for rhinos, somebody who has done tons of noses who had lots of experience. I put up with his inappropriate behavior and his rudeness because I thought the end result would be worth it. I now need revision surgery to bring back my natural tip and fill in the gap he left on my supratip and I might need deprojection. Trust the signs, listen to all the red flags and don't put up with rude or creepy doctors just because you think they might give you a good result, make sure to see recent before and after pics and dig for as many reviews as possible.

Also the "golden tip" is a thing for him and many doctors in the Detroit area will tell you because lots of people who had their nose done by him get revisions to fix it, he took out cartilage from the tip even when he specifically told me he was not going to touch my tip at all. Absolute nightmare doctor from hell.
