Waste of $12k for an Ethnic Rhinoplasty

I traveled out of state to get a rhinoplasty done in Spring 2021 by Dr. Mike Majmundar. I figured traveling to Atlanta would provide me the best possible outcome for receiving an ethnic rhinoplasty. All in, I spent about $12k (not including my multiple travel expenses, ubers, flights, hotel, etc). From my initial consult to my final post op visit (I traveled back at least 3 or 4 times on my own dime, up to a year after the surgery), I felt like my concerns were dismissed and frankly, there was an attitude every time I returned. It was clear they thought I was wasting my time bothering them because my disappointment with the surgery wasn't something they were going to acknowledge or address.
During many of my visits, I'd make it clear I'm trying to catch a same day flight back home and time and again, they'd keep me waiting an hour past my appointment time and never even acknowledge their lateness.
During my initial in person visit to get photos and simulations done, my inspiration photos were dismissed by Dr. Majmundar as "he doesn't look at inspiration photos" because they create a false sense of what is achievable for someone's nose. I thought this incredibly odd and dismissive. Nonetheless, I trusted the process.
Every single time I visited post op and shared my disappointment, I was told, wait until 3 months, then 6 months, then a year, then 18 months. It was always, "you won't see your final results until XYZ date" as a way to dismiss me. Well here we are almost 4 years later. Take a look at my "results". He didn't do anything and I'm out $12k. My nose even looks crooked.
Now I'm having to spend $14k to get a revision done with a surgeon who has actually been listening to my wants and desires and assures me he can fix the mess created by Dr. Majmundar. He also notes that the silicone implant Dr. Majmundar used is already protruding from my nose. He plans on removing it and doing it the right way (with rib cartilage) and not the lazy way with silicone (which Dr. Majmundar insisted on).
If anyone is interested, I have our conversations recorded so you can get a sense of the nonsense I was sold and how dismissive he was of my concerns.
For anyone seeking an ethnic rhinoplasty, please spend your money elsewhere.
