I’m a 24 year old, young woman from Holland who went to doctor Meissner in 2010 for rhinoplastic surgery because I didn’t like the hump on my nose. I want to share my story, because I don't want anybody to go through the same bad experience as I went through. I know everybody has different expierences with doctors, but doctor Meissner really is no good. I hope people read this before they get in touch with doctor Meissner, because they really should be warned.
In the spring of 2010 I've went to doctor Meissner in the ACPK clinic for a rhinoplastic surgery. At the consult in february, the doctor seemed to be very friendly and also capable to perform this procedure. On the day of the procedure, after a long day of waiting, it was my turn around eight ‘o clock in the evening. The doctor had done procedures all day and didn’t told me on forehand at what time my surgery took place. After a long day of waiting, the nurses took me to the operation room.
The operation room was a non-sterile room, which is strange because it should be sterile. Before me, another patient was treated and I could still see the fat that they’ve removed from his body standing on a table next to me. The room wasn’t prepared for my surgery at all. At this moment I freaked out. I started crying and I told the nurses (who did seem very friendly) that I was scared. I wanted to go back, but my fathers girlfriend told me that everything would be okay… we just didn’t knew better.
I took a seat in a chair that looked like a dentist chair. I asked the nurses if I should change my clothes to get in sterile surgical clothing, but the nurses told me that wasn’t necessary. Again, I paniced. I remember asking the nurses if I could talk to doctor Meissner before the narcosis started. But for some reason the nurses or/and anesthetist put me to sleep. So there I was… laying with my clothes on, on a dentist chair, with loads of questions and worries with the body remains of the patient who was treated right before me next to me. But I couldn’t do anything, because they’ve already put me under.
I remember being very upset when I woke up. I was still in the same room where the rhinoplastic surgery took place. At this moment I was laying on a examining table like the one at the doctor with paper on it. There was nobody in the room when I woke up and looked around. After a little while, someone happend to walk into the room and gave me painkillers… and than again, walked away. After surgery we (me, my father and his girlfriend) were brought to a hotel to rest for the night, because the day after my surgery doctor Meissner wanted to remove the tampons from my nose.
The whole week after the surgery I felt okay. I was looking a little bruised, but I knew this was usual after a rhinoplastic surgery. After one week or ten days, we had to come back to Germany to get the cast removed. We went to doctor Meissner’s home. He took of the cast and told me to go and check out my new nose in the mirror. Never in my life I’ve been this terrified. My nose looked deformed in every possible way. Not only my nose was still crooked from the side, it was also pencil thin! Honestly, I looked like a plastic surgery disaster. This was not what I had in mind when, during the consult, we discussed that the hump on my nose would be removed.
The whole way home I’ve cried like a baby because I felt deformed. The weeks after the surgery I was really unhappy and I couldn’t get used to my new nose. When I showed people my new nose, they weren’t very enthusiastic as well… In the mean time I tried to get in contact with doctor Meissner. I’ve send him e-mailes and even send him texts, but he didn’t respond until september(!). I was devistated. The first time I told my friends and family that I wasn’t happy with the results of the procedure that doctor Meissner performed, they felt bad for me and understood me when I told them that I felt deformed.
Doctor Meissner responded to my e-mail (months later) that we could make another appointment for a second surgery. He didn’t even checked up on me to see what he did and already he was talking about performing a second surgery what probably would’ve made it even worse. I lost my trust, not only in doctor Meissner, but also every other doctor I went to in Holland to see what they could do for me. I was traumatized… It may sound weird, but I didn’t even wanted to go to Germany anymore because it would give me the jitters. Doctor Meissner made me sick. Not only I was struggling with inflammation inside my nose (probably because of the non-sterile room)… also, I was traumatized and went through a psychological break down because of the surgery and the results of it. I wasn’t happy at all. And the doctor wasn’t there to talk to me.
After two years of being mad and scared, I’ve made the decision to at least talk to some other doctors in Holland. The hospital confirmed, after two different researches, my nose was in very bad shape (I had a polly beak deformity). Not only the bone was deformed, also there was very little left of the cartilage what made my nose look very small and uneven and my nostrils seemed collapsed. Also, the tip of my nose drooped down. And to make it even worse, I couldn’t breath properly. This was a result of bad operation skills of doctor Meissner. In the hospital they told me this would’ve never happend if the doctor had any experience.
After a long time of talking to other doctors (all of them are ear nose and throat doctors) I’ve made the choice to get a recovery surgery by a very well known doctor in Holland that works in the Bergman Clinics. Ofcourse I was scared again, but I didn’t want to go through life feeling deformed and depressed because of what doctor Meissner did to me. The recovery surgery in the Bergman Clinics went very well. After surgery the doctor personally came to tell me that he was shocked of what he’d found when he opened up my nose. The bone in my nose was shattered and I had very little cartilage left. My nose was kept together only because of my skin, but was collapsed. Because of doctor Meissner, my was deformed this way. Fortunately, the doctor of the Bergman Clinics gave me a real nose again by using cartilage wrapped in fascia and implants in my nostrils.
After four years and two surgeries I can say that I wish I could turn back time and never went to doctor Meissner. Psychological and physical doctor Meissner really did damage. And I will never get back those years. At this point I can say I am very happy with the results because of the recovery surgery by the doctor in the Bergman Clinics in Holland. But at this moment, now I’m finally happy and confident again, I can tell I wish I never ever went to doctor Meissner because now I know what could’ve been. It shouldn’t had to be this way. And for doctor Meissner when you’re reading this, I really hope this story will make people think twice before getting surgery done by you. In my opinion, you shouldn’t be operating at all. Not only my rhinoplastic surgery went wrong… also, the eye lift and liposuction doctor Meissner did to my father didn’t go right at all.
I could go on and on about doctor Meissner and everything he put me through (read: psychological en physical damage), but I think my message is clear. Please be warned for doctor Peter Meissner!

Provider Review
Doctor Peter Meissner
This doctor really is no good. He doensn't know what he is doing. He's runing people's life. Before the surgery he seemed nice, but right before my surgery he didn't even talk to me and after the surgery (when he literally ruined my nose) there was no aftercare at all! This doctor shouldn't be operating at all. Both surgeries which he perfomed on my father (liposuction and eye-lift), also went completely wrong. This guy should stop.
