Man Suing Surgeon After He Woke From Surgery To Find His Entire Nose Removed by Nobody: 6:57pm On Jun 07, 2013
A man woke up after getting a nose job to find that the plastic
surgeon had removed his nose entirely.
Patient Vishal Thakkar went to Dr Angelo Cuzalina, the president of
the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, for more than eight
surgeries over the course of a half a dozen years.
Mr Thakkar said after he went through a divorce in 2006, he
decided to 'do something selfish' and get a nose job. He was living
in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the time and went to one of the leading
plastic surgeons in the area, Dr. Cuzalina.Dr Cuzalina could not be reached for comment and his lawyers
previously denied interview requests from Fox 23 on the grounds
that they would not be able to speak about Mr Thakkar's medical
history given doctor-patient confidentiality agreements.
Thakkar says that after the first surgery he suffered some
relatively minor breathing problems that occurred when he slept
or worked out.
He went back to Dr Cuzalina eight times within the year to treat
various fixes from the previous treatments.Before one of the surgeries, Thakkar alleges that he specifically told
one of Dr Cuzalina's nurses that he did not want them to take any
cartilage from his ears should they need it for his nose during the
surgery.
When he woke up a few hours later, he had pain behind his ears
because they had done just that. Fox 23 says the doctor later
emailed an apology to Mr Thakkar.
Those recordings were then used as justification for Dr. Cuzalina's
August 31, 2012 letter where he said that he would no longer
operate on Mr Thakkar because of his 'ongoing threats and
harassment against my staff, my practice, and me personally'.
As a part of Mr Thakkar's lawsuit, he went on to say that the
plastic surgeon, who is the president of the American Board of
Cosmetic Surgery and has no prior complaints filed against him in
the state of Oklahoma, gave him a dangerous mix of prescription
medication.
The lawsuit says Mr Thakkar was 'prescribed an excessive amount
of medication, enough to kill the patient, if taken, including but not
limited to Loratab, Ambien, Valilum, and Oxycodone.'
This is far from the end of his plastic surgery nightmare,
however, as he is determined to fix his face.
'There is no way I am going to live like this. It is worse than being
dead,' he said.
