Unsatisfactory Rhinoplasty

Sadly I had an unsatisfactory outcome in my septorhinoplasty with Dr. Finn and I would not recommend for someone to go here for rhinoplasty. If anyone would like to ask me any questions in regards to my experience I would be glad to share so that it may help others. I would hate for someone to have to go through what I did because the cost for revision is way too much and once you are left with bad results it can really effect you in a lot of ways. For the price I payed and everything I really do not understand why I ended up with the results I did. I am now left with an unsatisfactory outcome cosmetically and in functionality and the cost of revision is way too much. It will be 2 years since my surgery in 2 months so it’s disappointing that the whole time I knew the way it looked was not right but I waited thinking it was the swelling which it was not. There was major swelling and swelling does go down with time but as far as the way it looked I knew from the day the cast was off that my left side of my nose was different than before. My nose droops and has a Polly beak look. I have a pointy piece sticking out my tip from my left side, the cartilage he flipped now protrudes outward and has given my left side a bulbous crooked look, I have a sunken in part on my left side, my septum from the inside that he overlapped is touching my left side of my nose and is crooked, my nose has taken another shape in crookedness in regards to the septum because of how my septum overlaps leans to the left, and my breathing has become worse than before due to how the graft makes my right side to the top more closed and how my septum touches my left side and how I have a sunken in part on my left side of my nose that was not properly supported, my left side of my osteotomy was not closed in which makes my nose more pushed to the left than what it was before(this was shown on the cat scan), on the cat scan it also showed how closed and crooked my nose was. I went to see 2 other ent plastic surgeon doctors and they both agreed that my results would need a highly experienced revision rhinoplasty expert surgeon because of how much issues I had going on. This has effected me greatly and I also experienced epistaxis and had to get my veins in my nose cauterized due to nose bleeds that caused me 2 trips to the ER and it was horrific the amount of blood I loss and the experience of blood coming out your eyes and have the feeling of clogged ears and choking on blood. After all of this I am left at a lost on top of having bad results so this saddens me deeply. I hope this helps anyone.
