Complaint Review: Sam naficy md - Bellevue Washington

As an out of town patient i mistakenly settled for a consultation by phone before one more in person at the op. I loved many features about my nose and wanted to and tried to emphasise these to Dr Naficy. I took many photos to our meet but he told me to put them away and just explain what I wanted. I was always made to feel like I was making a bigger deal of the procedure than it was and always felt guilty for asking another question about it. I was naturally scared about the procedure. Dr Naficy didnt go through the risks of the procedure with me or how I might risk losing features of my nose that I currently like in the procedure. He didn't go through what the operation would involve. I always felt like I was pestering him when I asked him another question. I showed him (from his own patient's after photos) what I did NOT want for my nose. However it seems he gives everyone the same nose. I am so sad. I have lost everything that I used to like about my nose. Now it looks very fake and stick like. I feel suicidal. I wish to God that the warning bells went off everytime he shrugged me my questions off and told me I was over-worrying about something, or the time when I tried to show him photos and he acted like this was a stupid and time wasting thing to do. I miss who I was. I was beautiful. People always used to comment on my beauty. There was just one tiny bump that had been making me feel insecure. I wish to God that I had to learned to just love that bump as a part of me. I wish I hadn't put myself through the financial and physical expense of what I've been through. Since the surgery the staff have sent one sentence not especially bothered comments back on my feedback about how the process should be improved - how the doctor needs to go through risks and not just reassure the prospective patient. he should have gone over the risks of every element of the procedure. I find it hard to go on now. I was beautiful. my nose was the best thing about my face. I can't believe I paid someone to change it into something they like. Dr Naficy does one nose look. Look at his site and that's the nose you'll get. He did very extensive work within my nose (which I found out from the operative notes only) when I had been assured that it would be a minimally invasive procedure. Using open rhinoplasty instead of closed rhinoplasty when there was no tip work was also not worth it - my incision has been sore and the tip of my nose rock hard since the operation. He left my nostrils upturned because of where he chose to reattach the tip. I now have a short nose when I loved the length of my former nose. I used to look striking. My nose had been extremely straight in spite of a tiny bump. Now it curves a bit, and looks like stick from the front. My nostrils are narrow and pulled tight because of how he has reattached the tip, so my nostrils are now in one line with the rest of my nose, when they used to be wider than the rest of my nose. I look like I have a line for a nose. This procedure has made me want to hide away from the world now. I have spent so much money on this procedure - all my savings - I now have nothing left - and it breaks my heart to know that I spent all my savings for someone to rob me of me. I don't feel like myself any more. I feel fake. I look fake. I didn't want a new nose but that's what he's given me. I wanted MY nose just with a tiny bump shaved off. But he very easily included other changes which I asked him about doing but deep down didn't think were necessary. I realise now that he just does '1 nose' and that's all he was ever planning to do with me. I used to have a soft nose, the tip used to be round and low, the nose was striking and long. Now I have a short upturned nose, which looks very pointy because of the nostrils and reduced length. I look so different from the profiles that I used to adore. I have also aged myself considerably by this procedure - I used to always be told I had a youthful and beautiful face and now the darkness and loss of fat under my eyes and loss of skin elasticity around my eyes has aged me 10 years. I just wish he had gone through the risks. I feel suicdal after my experience, which is sad because I had been at a point in my career where things were starting to finally get going. I have also had post nasal drip and a horrendous cough since rhinoplasty which has been hard to deal with.
