I had a perfect profile and went to Dr. Kornstein to simply make a somewhat wide nose narrower. We discussed that one would only see a difference from the front view, as the profile was naturally pretty. The photographer of the "before"picture commented, "This will be a subtle nose job, right?" In other words, I was pretty, my nose was O.K., but I wanted it to be a bit narrower and this surgery was a personal indulgence.
From the minute I woke up from surgery, it was obvious that he had somehow managed to make my nose longer and lower, without narrowing it at all. I did not know at the time that that was even possible. I subsequently found out that he had taken a surgical short=cut which resulted in my nose just dropping. He removed the supports. Now, when I smile, the tip of my nose touches my upper lip. Ánd the nose is still wide. It's HIDEOUS.
I went back in horror, and he said he would redo it as soon as I healed. I had the second nose job performed, had to pay again over $1500 for the anesthesia, and ...the second job did absolutely nothing. I saw no difference whatsoever. I just wanted my old profile back..a short nose that went up, not my new long, downward nose.
When I complained to him that the second surgery did nothing, he said, "We are dealing with millimeters, not centimeters." I replied, "Perhaps you are dealing with nanometers, because it does not appear that there is Any Change..at least not to the naked eye."
Basically, he would do nothing further and I now have an ugly, wide nose that goes down, like at Arab, and I am a blue-eyed blonde of Swedish descent. Dr. Kornstein ruined my face!!!

I'm sorry to read you have had such a bad experience but I know what that can be like. I too had a botched nose surgery by a Doctor in New Jersey a few years ago. However; for me, Dr. Kornstein was my only light in the dark Universe of plastic surgeons. He took my mangled twisted nose(other doctors wouldn't touch) and made it almost perfect to its original form. To me the man is a genius and the results were so good I volunteered to have them posted on his website,even though cosmetic surgery as a man is quite embarrassing for me.
I post this cause I'm sure if Dr. Kornstein can help me,surely he can help you. You seem very angry and thats understandable,I have been where you are but don't give up hope. Dr. Kornstein is a dedicated professional and maybe the two of you have different views on whats perfect.Try finding some photos of how you want your nose to look and show him. Thats what I did and the results were great.
Best of luck.
