DO NOT GO TO THIS SURGEON.
I went in for purely cosmetic reasons, and it has turned into the worst decision of my life. I had double jaw surgery, which has left me with an overly long chin and a face that looked disproportionate, bulky, and masculine. Instead of any improvement, I’ve been left far worse than I ever was to begin with.
Since the surgery, I’ve been left dealing with constant and serious issues: ongoing mucus drip, breathing problems, a severely deviated septum, a severe perforation (large hole in nose), tonsil stones, recurring sores in my nose, ear pain, and a constant tight, painful sensation in my face and gums, like something is being screwed tighter and tighter. I now get sick all the time, have night sweats, and feel more exhausted than I ever have in my life.
after surgery I was told there was “nothing wrong” with my face, yet other surgeons have since said otherwise. I feel completely misled and not properly informed about the risks or possible outcomes. This has had a huge impact on my daily life and overall health.
I’ve already had to undergo further surgery elsewhere to try and fix both cosmetic and functional damage and I still need more.
Not only has this affected my health and appearance, but it has also had a serious financial impact. I am now in severe debt as a result of this surgery and the corrective procedures I’ve had to seek elsewhere. Despite everything, the only support I was offered was a referral to the NHS, with no real accountability or help beyond that.
I trusted this surgeon, and that trust was completely misplaced. I was not given the full picture, and I am now living with the consequences every single day.
To make things worse, I was told that I didn’t even need double jaw surgery in the first place. That alone is extremely concerning, especially considering everything I’ve been put through since.
Avoid at all costs.
