rhinoplasty
by Keren007, Feb 03, 2009 08:06PM
I had a rhinoplasty about 10 month ago. I had an asymmetric nose (crocked to one side) a very small bump and pointy tip that was a bit down. The surgeon preformed cartage alternations (open surgery) in order to straight up the nose and some major tip ‘job’. After 10 month the tip of the nose still very swollen and the nose is still asymmetric. I have trouble to breathe and I’m making strange noises while tiring. There is a hole in my cartage that goes through and its very disturbing. I am very unhappy with the results. The surgeon said that he will perform the revision operation but I don’t trust him anymore after what he’s done. Can I demand a refund so I can contact a deferent surgeon that specialized in revision rhinoplasty, what are my options?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If you do not trust your original surgeon, I would obtain a consultation from another surgeon to get a second opinion about your current situation. At that point you can decide whether to return to your original surgeon or seek help elsewhere.
