I have noticed some girls posting in here wondering about the quality of Torres as an FFS surgeon, so I thought I would write about my experience.
I was his first international patient to come after covid restrictions lifted in Argentina. Prior to me arriving there, he and I were very much on the same page. However, once we consulted in person, he was pushing for procedures I didn’t want. In particular, he wanted to give me a ski-slope sort of rhinoplasty that’s quite concave. I said no, and made it very clear that I didn’t want that. I made it clear that I actually liked my nose as it was and didn’t want it to be changed too much- just enough to kind of balance things out. I made this overly clear and checked in with him about this again after the consultation and before the surgery.
To my horror, when I came to after surgery, I found that he had not only violated my consent by giving me the exact nose I said I didn’t want, he had also done so to an extreme degree by removing almost all of the tissue in my nose without it losing functionality.
I have been devastated by this. I have been left with a nose that’s pig-like and too upturned with a very unnatural dip in the middle of it. I can’t handle taking photos of myself anymore, let alone looking in a mirror. These were issues I never had before.
To add insult to injury, Dr. Torres has taken no accountability for violating my consent and has decided to pursue a campaign of gaslighting me instead. He offers a free revision, but I would NEVER go under again with someone who lied and violated my consent the way he did. Not to add how inaccessible getting down to Argentina is.
Separate from that, he was surprisingly too conservative in his brow work, which is so odd because that’s where I made it clear I needed the most work done. He left asymmetries and bumps in my jaw. The fat he transferred to my cheeks didn’t survive at all. And the hair transplants I did with him look awful- they traced my hairline rather than rounding it out like I asked and the hair transplants are far too thin and spread out and look ridiculous. He also lowered my hairline too much when I expressed that he didn’t need to if I was getting hair transplants. The overly lowered hairline plus hair transplants have made my face look even more masculine on top of the pig nose he gave me.
All in all, Dr. Torres ruined my face. He has a small group of girls that rant and rave about how great he is as if they are in a cult. Dr. Torres himself is quite skilled at making girls feel at ease, heard, and prioritized in a way most other FFS surgeons don’t. However, those qualities paired with a total disregard for a patient’s consent is quite dangerous.
