Worst Rhinoplasty Experience! Ruined my NOSE
Long sorry in advance.
I had a rhinoplasty with this surgeon. I went off other people's reviews and despite the initial consultation I had with him where I actually thought maybe look at others as I can't pinpoint what it was but he seemed very nice in one moment then really stand-offish in the other, I went ahead. I know dumb of me. I did research him and showed him photos etc and he seemed honest in what can be done and what cannot be which I liked but the result he was very confident with that he said he can do is the opposite of what he did do.
I asked him questions prior and he told me things I did not need to get the result so I went ahead. Backtracked on this later. He was very very confident towards the end of the meeting so I liked that and booked in. 1.7 months later, I absolutely REGRET my decision in trusting this man and his team. I knew from day 1 this is bad result but was swollen so i tried to calm and say wait year more to see. My nose is leaning to the side (was completely straight before and no breathing issues) now cannot breathe properly through one nostril. Bone looks weird tiny bumps on side told its healed odd in places where broken. My nose is wider and fatter looking then was before. I have various lumps in my TIP that are visible and now hump too which was not there before. Looks like beak from one side. Low tip. Scar tissue build up gosh I cannot stress how upset i am. I did not expect a perfect nose (I just wanted mine smaller to fit my face, he said was not complicated case) and now have like weird bridge from the front too and a big bumpy tip. I have seen 2 other surgeons since and they have both said my nose has slightly collapsed inwards along with all other issues, deviated septum (not before surgery) other stuff and will need a full revision to sort this. Things can go wrong yes in healing but even they said this is far from the result expected and hump deviated septum wide tip lumpy tip dropped tip are in his control bone work too so this dr should not be trusted.
When speaking to him with my concerns he totally went from nice to horrible within minutes and started going back on everything he actually agreed he could do and said he could do. I was in tears.
I was not looking for celebrity nose just what he said he could give me and instead of actually saying ok let's see what we can do or explaining why happen etc he totally flipped at me to a point I felt like a child being yelled at. I was completely traumatized and felt speechless. I had not even told him I had seen other surgeons who has confirmed what I thought as before I could he just went off on a rant at me. The actual hospital experience was also awful. 1 nurse was really lovely, so nice and the rest were so rude. My friend has been at this hospital before (i flew to London for this crap) and when I was with her the staff were so lovely and kind which is another reason I felt safe as seen other surgeons and nurse at this hospital.
All I'll say is for hour I was left in a wet gown. I felt wet gown and thought was like blood or something as couldn't see as big cast on so told nurse and she looked OMG so annoyed at me and was muttering under breath. Then walked off and hour later was like oh yeah here's new gown! Put it on! WTF! The iv also was stood on at one point and pulled out my hand (OMG THE PAIN) by one other nurse and they all tell you not painful nose job but IT WAS and i asked for stronger painkiller they said no don't have any. No help nothing. All i could also hear was moaning outside my room too, they were talking about someone and not saying nice things about I assume a patient by the words being used.
Communication with DR after was also bad, no responses at all from him or team to concerns so i gave up and just prayed get better on own. Never again will I trust this hospital or this surgeon. You may have a better experience but please go to a few surgeons first to decide. I only saw two. Regret that alot. Now I have to pay elsewhere to sort this and I have literally cried for a year half over this. I did not want to review and i wanted to wait long time before wrote on here if i could bare it and it hurts me alot to write this as i cannot look in mirror even. He should not be doing rhinoplasty in my opinion not qualified.

Is it possible for u to post pictures ? I was about to book with him but now very unsure
hello yes i will do as i hate seeing it but should be seen. i wish you the best of luck in your surgery and hope you have a better journey then i did happy to answer any queries if need
thank you so much! It’s scary to hear how they dealt with you? I know before surgery they warn you about things going wrong but they should not treat patients badly after you pay them 10k!! It scares me if something goes wrong in my surgery he won’t offer me revision and i will be stuck with a botched nose!
How long has it been since your surgery, if I may ask?
hello its about 1 year 7/8months
So sorry to hear that, I read your first post and thought you meant roughly 2 months and was hoping I could reassure you. Best of luck to you in revision and take care.
thank you for your kind thoughts yes i wish but from 10 months on it was like this with no change but i held on just praying but now thats been passed year and half this is the final result thank you though
hello hun, yes see this is why i am also really angry as i was completely ignored and from a london clinic with high reviews it was extremely baffling to say the least. They were great with me before the surgery then after all disappeared except for the one nurse who was so lovely on the day to me. I would personally not recommend as he has left me with such sadness and paying so much more now to fix it as i cannot just leave it like this breathing wise or from how it looks (revision and costs are at their discretion apparently even despite obvious issues here) and yes things can go wrong but this is not the result he said he could give no where near it and most of the complications i have now were actually in his control so i don't know, please just ensure whoever you go with sees you a few times, see a few surgeons too and go with your gut as its a really long process to go through and costs etc. If you do go ahead here or anywhere just ensure you are happy and keep yourself safe through the process. Best of luck on your journey. x
Which doctor is this ?
Dr Dario Rochira I am now having a revision elsewhere
Hi there, I'm looking for a surgeon for revision. Who did you go with in the end as I was recommended Dr Rochira and your experience with him sounds terrible
Hi Tomnose I haven’t booked my revision as of yet due to pandemic but have a dr in mind and will do it I hope by December this year as my breathing is getting worse but will never be this doctor ever again even if he did not try charge me. I would look elsewhere and then do what makes you feel right. I hate this man and hate what he has left me with and how he and the team treated me. I paid a lot of money for this and I am devastated of the lack of care and total disrespect of my health and feelings. I wish you the best in your search in who you choose. This was the biggest regret I made and I never should have ever trusted him or believed he was capable of doing anything at all right. Cheapest I have been quoted is 12k to fix his mess.
So sorry at what you are going through. Thanks for the advice, I've had a similar experience with Rajan Uppal who has ruined my nose and I'm hoping I can find someone who can fix it. Wish you all the best
Oh dear I hope you also find the right surgeon and feel better soon all the best
