I am beside myself with the results, I wish I had my old nose back. I traveled far to Dr. Kassir who seemed to have a strong presence online as an expert in his field. I had a previous rhinoplasty about 15 years ago and was having trouble breathing because my left side was collapsing, he assured to fix this and also suggested some minor cosmetic enhancements. Well it is now almost a year, still having trouble breathing my left side is still collapsing and my nose is fatter and I can't stand it. After traveling back and fourth for steroid injections that he suggest will fix it, I'm still unhappy and depressed and he really doesn't seem to care.

Kassir is a disaster. He did my primary in 2013 and it is the biggest regret of my life. If you read the reviews on here, I don't think anyone looks better. It's the most unprofessional and overpriced medical office I have ever seen. He actually blamed me for his subpar work, telling me that I "shouldn't have gotten a nosejob in the first place" because I only wanted a finesse rhinoplasty for my slightly bulbous nose. um, $12K later? Greedy&unethical and arguably blind haha. He charged me to put restylane in my nose to attempt to cover up his horrible work, I had an allergic reaction and had to have it dissolved 2 days later I was in such pain. There was a student in there watching me cry out in misery. Worst experience ever. I have since had a revision with dr Miller in Manhattan, so my nose is acceptable to me now but worse than what I was born with. I'm sorry, I feel your pain, but there is definitely hope for you for another revision. PM me for photos if you are interested :-)

I know your pain. I needed a revision and NY dr made my nose wider and bigger.
It was not easy to be in hiding for over a year. I decided for a revision abroad and traveled to Poland. Today is the 8 day after surgery and the cast will be taken off. Even with the cast I love my nose. The cost including travel and hotel is a fraction of what you need to pay in US ( complex nose surgery is 12000 zlotys which is about $ 3000). You may alos check the London doctors. Good luck and do not give up!

Are you searching for another doctor?

The same thing happened to me. I went to someone and asked to have my nose thinned out and he made it wider. He said he thought it would look better!?!?

So now I am looking for a doctor who only does noses, not all types of other procedures. I want someone who specializes in the nose!

Good luck!

Did you show him a picture of what you wanted??? Now I'm worried I have a surgery with him this may an from reading bad reviews I'm unsure what to do now
April 28, 2016
no I didn't show a picture, I would be crystal clear on what you want, I just figured he knew what he was doing

Im so sorry this happen to you. I don't understand why drs keep making revision patients nose much bigger. Woman do not want bigger wider noses. The same happen to me.

Go see Dr. Davis. He can remove the grafts that are making your nose bigger

You mean Richard Davis in Florida?

So sorry. This doctor shouldn't be doing revisions. I'm looking for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon and the possibility that it could be worse has resulted in me settling with my nose. It's crooked when I smile.

What grafts did he put in your nose? Do you have spreader grafts?

Do you have any profile pics? How is your profile? So sorry, you are not happy with your results, this is everyone's nightmare. I think Dr. Grigoryants is the best and I believe he can fix your nose. I am going to schedule with him.

I don't understand why surgeons TRICK people into grafts . They always say grafts won't make the nose wider. You won't be able to even tell that they're in. FALSE! Grafts will always make the nose wider ..Always! It's horrible how they do this to women. No woman wants a wide nose! It's unethical to me that they do this. We would have rather kept the slightly flawed nose than a wider nose. They're horrible

I am a man and the same thing happened to me. I actually specifically said I wanted y nose thinner and more refined. My Dr. put a graft in and my nose looks really bad because of it. It's wider than it was before, which was the opposite of what I wanted!
I am trying to find a doctor who can fix this and am having trouble....

I keep telling people about grafts on here too . Dont do it for minor problems but I don't think they are listening.. Grafts are serious business and change the nose so much.. I'm so sorry this happened to you as I seen it done to so many people and they've become devastated. I'm so sorry .. Xo
