Truly a Miracle!!!

Thanks for your comment. It was a terrible thing to go thru especially because I didn't have the luxury of time on my hands for any more mistakes. This all happend before my wedding. Dr Ford cleared a spot for me and did the surgery right away, I had a month and a half of healing before my wedding, I took time of work for the entire time to just heal, I took arnica every day, slept with head elevated and had cold compresses on my face and nose at all times, I did everything possible to just heal. Of course it wasn't like my face finished healing 1.5 months after (we all know how long complete healing takes) Dr Ford's surgery but he made me back to the glowing bride I dreamed of.

I've noticed there's been enough material on...

I've noticed there's been enough material on certain docs on review boards over and over again whether it be positve or negative but it amazes me that someone like Dr Ford doesn't get enough recognition for his artistry , his skills, or for his wonderful, and kind interaction with his patients. I have always read others reviews but felt it's time to give credit where credit is due, the man saved my wedding.

Unfortunate I had to find my way to his office to due another's PS hack job. That year I was scheduled to have my wedding which was already planned, scheduled and paid for. I also wanted to look my best for that day , and had always secretly wanted rhinoplasty. Being it was a couple months before my wedding, I went nuts and decided I needed to get it right away, because wedding photos could never change. I went to a couple of places, including Dr Ford who all told me the same thing, that it wasn't enough time to heal before the wedding and I should wait. Now this shouldve ended it but I had one more appointment left and wouldn't you know it, this would be the one greedy, destroyer of lives a-hole who said he had an opening and could perform the surgery right away.

Never did it occur to me that a great, Ethical, busy surgeon would have an opening immediately, especially for a more serious type of procedure, I just wanted it done, my wedding was fast approaching.

To summarize, I ended up with with a nose that was twice its size and crooked. I had a pretty nice nose to begin with (but I wanted it tweaked, to look perfect) for that special day. It was so bad, it did not even resemble my past nose at all, oh I had also decided to do a blepth as well to open up my eyes. I looked like a freak. I had never felt such fear in my life , I would never look like me again, my wedding was completely paid for, at this rate , there was no way I could even dream I would look even 50% normal by then.

I went to a couple docs and pleaded my situation, I looked like I walked out of a bad plastic surgery commercial, now imagine a doc wanting to fix someone else's mistakes, and even crazier within a month and a half later. You all know your PS will tell u to wait a year before they will proceed with revisions. No one would touch me with a ten ft pole. I don't know what I would've done if Dr Ford and his kind heart didn't step in. If I could only really convey how kind he is. There is no surgeon that would've dared to operate because they want to cover their asses legally but he knew he could fix me and wanted to help. It was not about money. I really looked very disfigured. But everyone else didn't want to take me on, it was just too hard a surgery , not just nose but eyes too and not enough time. Both looked nothing like the old me. His skill and attention to detail is unmatched, I am thankful to this man for everything. It's crazy, he's so good and so likeable. I would never post in review boards because I am shy but he deserves recognition as being one of the top docs in Toronto. If you need a revision , go see him and you will know every word I've written is true.
Also forgot to mention, he took one look at my eyes and said I had pytosis, that's why the blepth failed on me, I had the wrong procedure done to my eyes, no other doc even mentioned that ever! That's why I always wondered why my eyes didn't seem to open wide anymore. Most docs don't know how to pinpoint/diagnose what is needed, they just go along with whatever you think you want , I probably would've just asked for another blepth to correct the last one instead of getting the right procedure the first time if I had been properly evaluated
