It seems some surgeons around here invest way more money into their marketing than they do into continuing their medical education...
I guess, if you don't mind me asking, who was the first surgeon that ruined your nose?
Hmm... I actually went to see a specialist at a hospital outside of Washington, D.C. a few years back, and it was an absolute disaster. I suppose it’s incredibly important when you're picking a doctor to make sure they actually know how to handle open rhinoplasty techniques, not just the closed ones. In my experience—though I realize this isn't a universal rule—the more aesthetic procedures they've performed, the better the chances they'll nail this kind of surgery too.
Hi everyone,
I’m a new member here. About five years ago, I underwent an ENT rhinoseptoplasty performed by a certain doctor—basically, they worked on both the internal and external structures. Since I couldn't breathe properly, I figured it made sense to address the external side as well. Well, I don't even need to tell you how crooked my nose turned out, despite him being supposedly highly regarded. It feels like these surgeons treat patients more like products on an assembly line rather than actual human beings with health concerns. After seeing the results, he actually had the nerve to suggest a revision, which I firmly declined. Over the years, the shape has just gotten worse, developing this noticeable indentation. I went to see an ENT specialist today, and she recommended that if I go through with another surgery, I should see V. Bedeković (she also mentioned Glumičić), because she’s seen his work firsthand and knows the results are excellent, having assisted him for a few years.
Now, since going under the knife again isn't exactly a small decision for me, I joined this forum hoping someone might have some information or perhaps direct experiences with specific surgeons. Is there anyone I should look into, or is there really no standard way to choose?
I would truly be grateful for any kind of response. I'm just completely lost right now.
