Thank you. I am happy the process is complete. As I said I regret writing a negative review (especially one that RealSelf alerted Dr.Smith to) because I ended up using him for the revision.It made by far the most sense from a time/money perspective. Overall expressing my anger about how I had to return to work wasn't a good idea because it caused too much acrimony between myself and the doctor/staff. I'm happy to post pics of the entire experience if anyone is at all interested.

Update
It is six months later and Dr Smith has fixed the situation you see below. I regret writing such a negative review because Dr Smith is a brilliant surgeon and he does care about his work. However at the time, two surgeons told me it would be a year until a revision was even possible and as you can see I looked like I had been in a bad accident rather than seen a plastic surgeon for an improved profile. I had to work like this and present to senior staff. Everybody in my department knows something very strange has happened to my face surgery wise. Therefore my initial feelings were angry and reactive because I didn't understand why any of this debacle was even necessary to begin with. Revisions may occur 10% of the time, but should they? I still feel in my case there was lack of attention by Clinic 805, the casting was crooked and the bone likely slipped when the casting was removed. I've had to have my nostrils revised twice.
However in retrospect I will take back anything negative or personal I wrote about Dr. Smith. I would prefer the review to be deleted altogether because it doesn't reflect my feelings about him or his staff.

Thanks they are. It is essentially been fixed by Dr Smith. I suppose I owe him gratitude for fixing me even though he read my review. RealSelf pointed them out to him at a conference during the whole debacle so it made the whole relationship ten times more awkward...
