The operative report later described a much broader procedure involving my hand, wrist, tendons, Hunter rod placement, and median nerve issues that did not match my understanding or consent.

My informed consent to the scope of what was done was not. I am alive, clear-minded, and still standing.

Open Letter to Dr. Garner…read more Hello Dr. Garner, It took me more than 10 years to summon the strength to write you this letter. The rhinoplasty you gave me in 2012 was an absolute disaster. I was only 21 years old and needed your help in making the best decision for myself at the time. You failed as a clinician to do this; you failed to guide me in the process. As a result of the rhinoplasty: 1. I looked and felt terrible with a dreadful "ski slope" nose. 2. I looked many years younger as a result of my new nose. 3. My breathing was not improved, despite your assurances. I lost so much of the character of my face which, in turned, helped ruin my stage acting career. Your negligence in counseling me about how the rhinoplasty would actually impact my appearance was particularly devastating. You never mentioned to me that my nose would become feminine and like a "ski slope," and not just be straight and/or masculine. You never cautioned me about how it would make me look years younger (Which has hurt my professional career prospects - I am constantly mistaken to be a decade younger than I am and passed over for promotions). You never warned me that it could take away character from my face and image. And most egregiously, you could and should have used photo editing technology to help me visualize how I would look hypothetically with a different nose. This is industry standard! I would never ever have pursed this surgery if I knew what the result would be. It was one of the worst mistakes of my life. I am exploring all recourse options now, including revision rhinoplasty but also legal action to get some remedy for all I have lost. I can't imagine how your work has hurt other people with your lack of transparency. Your deeply saddened former patient, Albert
