I don’t doubt that Dr Compton has done great work in the past but this is just my experience with him. So please read before you consider him. I went to Dr Compton for a Septoplasty. I had a deviated septum causing me breathing issues and I also wanted to improve my nose cosmetic wise. He made me feel confident in his work and my mom and I (I was a minor at the time) decided to go through with him doing my surgery. The surgery was a very difficult recovery for me. When I got my cast off he had told me that my nose bridge collapsed and I needed a revision asap. I didn’t think this was his fault at all. But this is when it gets bad. He wanted to fix it as soon as possible and only 2 MONTHS LATER he did my revision surgery. I had no idea at the time that this was a terrible idea, since I had trusted him. I felt like he had panicked and wanted to fix it right away. He took an ear graft for my second surgery. He once again took the cast off and the nose bridge collapsed again but even worse this time. I had developed a saddle nose deformity from this surgery. He definitely had no idea what he was doing and clearly didn’t give my nose enough support for the nose bridge to stay. For about a year my nose was horrific. I couldn’t breathe at all, the nostrils were uneven and it looked deformed. As a senior in high school this affected my confidence tremendously and caused me a great amount of emotional damage. I have went to several other doctors, none of which want to take the risk of operating on me. Every plastic surgeon consultation I went to told me that this man had no idea what he was doing and that he butchered my nose so terribly. After the fact, Dr Compton tried to offer me discounted laser hair removal probably to try to make up for it. I declined. The irony is, he is now advertising himself as a saddle nose expert. There is no way I’d ever let this man touch my nose again.
