Re: Nose Rotted off after Nose Job

I give every patient what I believe to be the best method of treatment and go to great lengths to explain both the risks and benefits involved. Secondary rhinoplasty is one of the most complex and difficult procedures in plastic surgery. These patients are likely to be unhappy with previous surgeries and are seeking additional improvements to a nose that is already compromised in some fashion. Nevertheless, secondary rhinoplasty is a specialty of my practice. I am quite proud of the satisfied patients I have helped during the past 30 years, and how my expertise has been honored and recognized by my professional colleagues. I deeply regret that Michael had such disappointing results, but also how he has chosen misrepresent many of the facts of his surgery and subsequent care. Throughout his course of treatment and follow-up I am confident that Michael received exemplary care from me and my staff, together with referrals and evaluations from other leaders in the field of plastic surgery.

I'm glad you responded - otherwise we wouldn't have known about his previous surgeries nor your side of it.

Unfortunately, necrosis is a possible outcome from surgery. I worked for a PI attorney who took a case of a lady who developed necrosis after breast implant redo (take out silicone and put in saline) thru the nipple. Her nipple turned black and basically, her breast rotted off. We ended up dropping the case because it stated in the paperwork she signed prior to surgery that necrosis was a possible side effect of the surgery. Not all outcomes are great.

I just had a rhinoplasty with this doctor and was completely happy with his work and the staff at his office. I recomend him if you're looking to having rhinoplasty. He's the best around and I'v done my homework.

Micheal sounds like an opportunistic bastard. I saw him on Dr Phil and his nose seemed perfectly fine. I think the HIPAA laws make the doctors very vulnerable to such smear campaigns. Google Dr Barry Eppley and you'll know what i mean
