Thought I went to a reputable medical institution in Chicago for a minor aesthetic adjustment (1.0hr+ procedure). Instead, they forced a full functional reconstruction of my nose. Nasal bones and dorsal lines were completely hacked, wood-hard rib pieces inserted along the full septal length (I feel discomfort from those things 24/7!), tip ligaments were severed, lateral cartilage and crura resected and/or removed, radix erased, caudal septum hacked, cut off and thrown away like an unneeded body part, columella thinned, de-vascularized and severely traumatized, retreating all the way to the septum, voluminous scroll area in the midvault hacked, cut out and thrown away as if it was an unneeded body part. They also cut off blood supply from the tip to nasal sides to radix. Alar rims retracted by up to 1cm, nose shortened by about the same length of 1cm. Soft tissues underneath the skin completely atrophied. Normal nose thus became a pinocchio-like nose. Severe dysautonomia nightmare due to the respiratory distress followed.

To add to the insult, a doctor took a soldering iron called "coblation device" and burnt the insides of my nasal cavities, causing permanent damage to submucosal glands, stroma and cilia, leading to severe dryness, excessive open space inside the nasal cavities and, ultimately, "empty nose syndrome" (ENS), respiratory distress and sleep apnea, among other nasty health issues that that doctor created for me. This is how Sidle treated me, forcing 3.5 hour functional septo-rhinoplasty procedure that was medically unnecessary, aesthetically damaging and completely premeditated by Douglas M. Sidle & Co. at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, just to get to my insurance money and train his residents/fellows multiple procedures on a living human being.

It was not only Douglas Sidle who caused me harm and injury on the operating table that day. Half of the assault came from Douglas Sidle's ghost surgeon, an unsupervised AAFPRS fellow .

Of course, Douglas Sidle has billed my insurance tens of thousands dollars for those medically unnecessary harmful procedures. Douglas Sidle himself has increased his own payout by $9K+, billing my insurance company the so-called "professional changes" for those medically unnecessary maneuvers. Interestingly, before and right after the surgery, Sidle told me that he "didn't need to do much on me", and that he "won't bill insurance". Sidle and his/its hospital billed my insurance a total of $60k!

To sum it up, Sidle's true qualification is taking a normal healthy functioning nose and converting it into a nonfunctional pinocchio-like structure with severe respiratory distress. Douglas Sidle's true calling in this world should be swiping Chicago alleys, definitely not treating patients, as obviously Sidle doesn't know what he is doing to the living beings that happen to get into his hospital trap. Sidle does a lot of intentional harm in the medical field by premeditatively pushing medically unnecessary harmful procedures on his patients, as you can see from other Sidle's patients reviews over the last decade. In 2001-2002, his actions as a resident at Northwestern during the neck surgery of a patient, have led to the death of that patient, with a few million dollars paid to the patient's estate and lawyers after the jury trial.

All I feel now is a severe trauma to my upper respiratory function and my face. All I see now is extreme postsurgical atrophy of the operated sites (up to 40%!), caused by this dishonest surgeon(s) at a "reputable" institute in the city of Chicago. It was more of a gang ra-pe rather than a surgery: Sidle and his ghost surgeon have ripped me off of my health, destroyed my good aesthetics, robbed thousands of dollars from my insurance. Insulted my grandmother. Insulted my grandfather. Insulted my mother. Insulted my father. Assaulted and insulted myself.

Run when you see that name on a surgery panel list: Douglas Matthew Sidle. That individual's corruption 100% guarantees you injury and harm to your health and your aesthetics. This particular physician may call himself a "nasal architect" but essentially, Sidle is a charlatan who would do anything for money and "prestige" at his hospital. Douglas Sidle treats his patients like pieces of meat that he can cut any way he wants, no matter what the needs of a patient are. Aftercare after all this butchery is nonexistant.
