Complaint Review: Richard Ellenbogen Plastic Surgeon Beverly Hills - Babak Dadvand

18 months ago my nightmare began. I live in San Diego and I was looking for a surgeon to perform a rhinoseptoplasty. In addition to having a hump on my nose, I had breathing problems too, so, I decided to address the functional and aesthetic part.

I read a lot of positive reviews about Richard Ellenbogen and had a consultation with him in Beverly Hills. He seemed very arrogant, tried to joke around to look more friendly, but I read so many reviews about him, on magazines, that I thought he must be good. He said that I needed a chin implant and fat grafting too.

I left his office with mixed feelings and I prayed god that night to give me a sign. After 33 minutes, I turn the TV on and I see him on Dr 90210. I thanked God for giving me this sign, I called his office on the following day, and I scheduled the surgery. I decided to have the chin implant and grafting too.

Needless to say, my nose has been amputated and I-m very unhappy. I-m devastated. Please don-t ever dare to say that I was vain and I didn't have to have the rhino in the first place. Because people who say that are letting surgeons butcher patients. I've just been to Rollin Daniel, a rhino specialist in Newport Beach, and he refused to touch me. He said that Ellenbogen destroyes noses. I can't believe he did that to me. Rollin Daniel said that he would never operate on an Ellenbogen-s nose.

The worst part is that I was infected with hepatitis C during the surgery, during the fat grafting procedure. My life has been destroyed by this man. I could live with an amputated nose, even though it-s hard, but why was I infected?
