Dr. Issa Eshima
Pain and ProblemsI won’t make this long and drawn out, I just want to shed light to those considering having Dr. Issa Eshima do their surgery.
Issa Eshima did my open rhinoplasty 12 years ago. During my followup appointments I commented on my nose being crooked.
Dr Issa Eshimasaid it was just the swelling and it would even out and proceeded to give me steroid injections in my nose to help the process.
I shared my concerns for 1.5 yeas about the crookedness and kept getting the same response- to wait.
Then, 2 years hit and when I complained again and asked for it to be fixed because ample time had gone by for it to set, he said it had been too long since the surgery and there was nothing he could do unless I paid again for ‘an additional procedure.’
Today, I have a stud nose piercing on my right side to offset the crookedness.
Over the past 2 yeas I have noticed nubs forming at the bridge of my nose and have been having sensitivity and now pressure (like someone is pushing on it).
I went to see a doctor and he said the graft that Eshima took from behind my ear to create a new bridge had separated and is crumbling inside of my nose.
He said if a plastic surgeon says that’s their way of doing rhinoplasty, to run.
It may last for a short period of time but over time it will come undone and cause pain and problems.
Significant visible and unnecessary scaring
I had surgery with him six months before he retired. I know people who had great results with him years ago. I unfortunately now have very visible scarring in a continuous line from the bottom to the top of both ears and into my hairline, a skin flap on one ear, a scar under my chin with multiple visible stitches And scars in the corners of my eyes that create unattractive bulges and folds. The stitching was not done carefully. It seems like work that was being done by someone tired and in a hurry. it is not subtle. Anyone who looks at either side of my face or under my chin knows instantly that I had a facelift.
It may last for a short period of time but over time it will come undone and cause pain and problems.
