Mr Mather saved my hand and his co surgeon my forearm and I thank them from the bottom of my heart,I was a difficult patient I was going through as difficult stage in my life and they help me through it,you did a wonderful job, thank you,Neil .
This is the second occasion I have been to David Mather for surgery and to be honest I wouldn’t use any other surgeon. I had an abdominoplasty and thigh lift to remove the loose skin around my tummy and thighs. The procedures were explained clearly and in detail and my expectations were well managed from the outset. David is extremely approachable and friendly and I felt at ease throughout my care. I am extremely pleased with the results. The scaring is healing well and very fine so once healed will be barely noticeable. I cannot praise David enough. I feel my confidence has blossomed and can highly recommend his surgical skills.
Had a combined blepharoplasty and brachioplasty. Mr Mather explained the procedures in detail and took time to ensure that I understood what would happen after surgery and any complications that could arise. Everything went smoothly and the results of the surgery are fantastic and I am so pleased. The recovery took a couple of weeks but it was straightforward with minimal pain and I was back running 21 days after surgery. I will definitely be using Mr Mather for any further cosmetic procedures in the future.
The suture technique has a 10% chance of failing even with permanent sutures. I would suggest returning to your surgeon to show them the problem you have and asking them what to do next. It is worth giving them a chance to put things right. Usually the only option is repeating the surgery, but this can be done to try to correct the problem you have identified and might be a smaller operation than before if some of the sutures have held their position. I use a clear prolene suture and bury the knots deep under a layer of normal fascial tissue to prevent them from interfering with the skin. For patients with prominent ears that are caused by a poor fold i use Earfolds which are implants that hold the ear cartilage in place, and so far the patients have been delighted with this short procedure Good luck.
