RAGHU ATHRE RUINED MY NOSE

ORIGINAL POST

I wish I never got my rhinoplasty from Dr Athre....

I wish I never got my rhinoplasty from Dr Athre. HE IS FULL of empty promises. When I had originally posted this review, he had hounded me to leave him a great review and that he relied on this positive feedback. I had JUST had my bandages taken off when he started in on this. Of course - he wants you to leave a great review before you start seeing the true results of what he did to your face!

Let me tell you once he gets your money and does his half assed rhinoplasty and you have a problem? He will avoid you - you are on your own. He will not return phone calls, emails, his staff will ignore you - everything you can imagine. Pictures speak for themselves. One side of my tip of nose is higher than the other. I have a pointy knot at the very tip, it is so uneven I am ashamed to even be seen in public. My left nostril is deformed (just look at the pictures). I also have a pollybeak deformity because of him. My nostrils are uneven and I have scar tissue poking out inside my nostrils. It even hard to breathe. The tip of my nose is incredibly droopy. I should have avoided this man like the plague but I put my trust into him, and this is what I get. Dr. Athre will do nothing to make it right if you have a problem. Remember that. Find a skilled plastic surgeon who knows what he is doing. Don't make the same mistake I did!!

So sorry to hear that u r going through this. I have been through this to I did my first rhinoplasty overseas. I emailed surgeon 100s of times and he never ever replied I was always ignored. But when I wanted to get surgery I got emailed by him!! Frustrates me as I was going through bad pain aswell. Not a care in the world by him or staff. I'm 12 days post op revision and I'm not happy again but I'm very swollen and am told early days so I'm trying to stay calm. Hope things turn out good for u hopefully he decides to replie to you soon! Take care

I am so sorry you are going through this. He emailed me back right away (in the middle of the night) when I first wrote him about booking an appointment. That's all he cares about - money. Once you have problems he will avoid you like the plague! I AM DISGUSTED. I really hope your nose turns out better than mine.

That's seriously not fair at all how can people be so heartless to ruin someone and have no decency to even try to help. Unfortunately a lot of people only care about the money and not how patients are post surgery. I really wish surgeons would stop performing rhinoplasty unless they are actual specialists in the area and know what they are doing. Not fair botching people just for money I duno how people have the heart to do so. I hope u find a good revision rhinoplasty please try to be very aware of surgeons who have no skills there are many out there. Don't rush aswell until you are completely sure you have a good surgeon. Take care of yourself

You know its not the fact your nose then turn out right, whats terrible is when a doctor want fix his mistake. I really get maybe not all your surgeries might not turn out perfect, but when it doesn't, at least correct the problem. Sooner or later, not matter how good you are at your job, you bound to make mistake. And that is ok as long as you own your mistake and fix the problem.

What is causing the nostrils to look this way? We're part of you lower lateral cartilage removed . I do see a lot of scar tissue there . We're they round before?

I am surprised he would not offer a revision or send you to another surgeon. Is this your first surgery?
