Take rhinoplasty seriously in terms of revisions and time off work

Dr. Ken Smith at Clinic 805 in Victoria. Arrogant and careless. Simple refinement to narrow the bridge and slight shortening, nothing to the tip. Was supposed to be a simple and basic surgery. Wrong. Completely botched by careless work and surgeon. I am absolutely beside myself with regret. He cast and set my nose on a skew from left to right, fractured the right side completely unevenly. My nostrils were stitched and taped unevenly. It's mind boggling where his mind was. I got a terrible infection that he barely treated. He's been on vacation and will be the rest of the summer and not checking messages. The whole thing has been a disaster. My nose was very nice before, and this was merely to perfect it. I am furious and have no means to revise it at this point and am just paralyzed with fear.

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.
