A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I was charged $3k more than ANY other patient I have spoken with for a primary rhinoplasty. I've spoken with roughly 15 people, several of whom were a revision rhinoplasty, and yet I was still charged more than any of them with no explanation.
I wonder if this could be in any way related to his recent lawsuit that Dr. Nassif filed against him. You can look this up yourself, it is within the public records.

Again, keeping this completely real and honest. You be the judge.
Look! Listen! Do you love the letter "L"? Do you Love Capital L's? This post is brought to you by the Letter "L'. Why? Because I now have a permanent Capital L on my face, thanks to Dr. Yoo. What about the swelling? What about a "customized artistic individualized approach"? HA! LOL! No. Just, no. Nothing that I was promised in terms of taking my individuality, artistic aesthetic preferences, ethnicity, facial shape, NOTHING was taken into consideration. I was given the EXACT same nose, that everyone else gets. A nose that is a Capital L. I now look older and whiter with significantly more pronounced nasiolabial folds, not to mention the fact that this is NOT the nose I discussed during consultation. Imagine my shock and horror, waking up and getting a nose I did NOT request.
I have spoken to multiple revision specialists with my consultation, and they all knew exactly what I was referring to, agreed that nothing about this nose fit my facial features and it certainly wasn't even close to my desired wish picture, which was 100% reasonable and a mutually agreed upon expected outcome.
The level of unprofessionalism conducted by this surgeon has been shocking, although not surprising given the state of the current healthcare system. I highly encourage EVERYONE to listen to Episode #68 of The Peter Attia Drive Podcast, which details all of the issues within the US Healthcare system and why some surgeons respond the way they do!
Dr. Yoo has not apologized, has not taken my psychological distress into consideration, he has been nothing but arrogant and dismissive, even insinuating that I am mentally unstable. I am not. I am educated, articulate and highly perceptive to the fact that no one has documented their experiences honestly. I have every right to share my experiences in order to help others and advocate for myself.
It is emotionally distressing to write these reviews, since I find reliving the past very traumatic and I get very depressed and distressed having to detail my experiences, so I will keep this sort. I have much more I could say about my experiences but at this time I prefer not to. Especially since they are negative. Here are my updated photos.
One other thing I will mention, is that Dr. Yoo incredulously told me, after I expressed my discomfort, pain and anger for the 3rd time that "No doctor will be able to give you a smaller nose. If you find someone who is capable of giving you that, I'd love to see your nose when it is revised. Let me know, I'd like to know what techniques they used". Why would he be asking me that?! It's incredibly concerning and unprofessional, not to mention completely untrue. Follow up revisionists during my consultation completely understood the original aesthetic I desired and said that this statement was false, that I could indeed have a smaller nose. Some consultations posited that in order to get my wish picture nose, I may have not even needed my rib removed at all. Let. That. Sink. In.
I never cared about having a higher bridge, as stated in my original "receipt" email, which is previously attached and uploaded, all I wanted was a more refined tip. In fact, I stated that I LIKED my original bridge. Let. That. Sink. In.
It was also important to me that my ethnicity be maintained. Both of these desires were completely ignored. This leaves one to wonder, when someone claims to deliver "individualized, customized, artistic" noses, yet EVERY single patient gets a nose that looks like a Capital L....how much individualization goes into this cookie cutter process? Could it be, that perhaps, there is a limited amount of techniques within one's repertoire? Is this why every nose looks the same?
My breathing has been negatively impacted, my smile has been negatively impacted, my mental health has been negatively impacted. My side profile, my 3/4th profile, my life has been negatively impacted. I cannot stress enough how psychologically damaging this has been and how grave the consequences are.
PS: There is currently a lawsuit underway between Dr. Nassif and Dr. Yoo. This is within the public records and you can look it up for yourself. It is public information.
While you review my photos, note how tight my upper lip is, there is so much pressure from my oversized nose, that is pulls my lip up, which makes it thinner and distorts my smile. It also reveals much more of my gum line and my smile is now crooked due to this nose. It also exacerbated my nasiolabial folds and gave me MUCH more pronounced nasiolabial folds than I had before.

This nose is very large and I have seen several other people with the same nose, even though I wanted a small kpop nose I did not get that. So far none of my photos have been filtered since I believe in transparency, but here is my nose with a filter on this photo. This nose looks bad without a filter. I suspect many people probably filter their rhinoplasty photos to make their nose look better (if they are unhappy with it) rather than be honest and admit that their nose could look significantly better with a revision.
In this day and age, we really cannot trust what we see anymore, as I have noticed many before and after photos use strategic lighting, angles, perhaps even filters. Dr. Subbio has an Instagram where he reveals many of the deceptive secrets behind before/after photos, and I encourage anyone considering surgery to learn from his IG.
