Dr. Rad is Mandatory for All Your Facial Surgeries
Background:
I am a healthy male age 60. My story is a bit usual in that I sought treatment because of a past eye issue called Ectropion. A previous face lift performed several years prior to me seeing Dr. Rad, caused my eye left eye to sag and droop away from the eye. That prior surgery was not performed by Dr. Rad. Because of my Ectropion, I did not feel, nor believe, that my left eye was attractive looking. In my research to resolve and fix this Ectropion, I sought out several doctors who might be able to not only understand my concern about my eye, but also one who could delve right into the flaw and defect of my Ectropion, to resolve not only the physical nature of Ectropion, but also the aesthetics of my eye (and overall face).
As I live in Tampa Florida, I had consultations with a half dozen local doctors. Each of my consultations with local Florida doctors turned out to be a waste of my consultation fee because the local doctors either thought that my eye was perfectly fine and that I could live with the slight droop and sag of my left lower eyelid or did not appreciate my aesthetics concern. As such, I broadened my search for doctors outside of Florida including Washington DC. That’s how and where I found Dr. Rad.
Dr. Rad's website specifically states a procedure called "Cat Eye" Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy to help "one whose eyes tilt slightly downward and/or whose outer lower eyelid contours appear to be “sagging." Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy can help those who have Ectropion. As such, I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Rad at his Washington, DC office. Dr. Rad understood my concerns both physically and aesthetics, and advised me that Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy would resolve my Ectropion. I agreed to have Dr. Rad perform the "cat eye," along with a mid-face lift and eyebrow lift.
Surgery:
Dr. Rad was very attentive to my concerns right before surgery and calmed my nerves. Dr. Rad cares about his patients. Dr. Rad listened to any and all questions and concerns that I had prior to surgery, and answered them all. And after surgery, Dr. Rad took my phone call from his cell phone two days after surgery, when I had a few questions about my recovery. Having Dr. Rad "on-call" for my questions really impressed me. But more importantly, Dr. Rad answered my concerns about bruising and swelling. As you can imagine, just two days after surgery, a patient can have mental and physical stress/distress. Dr. Rad was there, to talk to me the first time I rang his cell phone. I felt assured after speaking with Dr. Rad about my condition and recovery.
As I write this now, I am 3 months post-op. My Ectropion is completely gone. The "cat eye" procedure not only resolved my underlying issue of Ectropion, but also gave my eyes a fresher look. Yes, the eyes are slightly tilted like a cat, but not so much where it looks unusual. The bottom line is that I received exactly what I asked for: "cat eye" that resolved my Ectropion--forever! I thank Dr. Rad from start (consultation) to end (end of surgery and now several months post-op). I not only recommend Dr. Rad for his face surgeries, but I recommend that prospective patients see only Dr. Rad for any and all of your facial surgeries. Should I ever have another surgery on my face (though unlikely), it is mandatory for me to have it done by Dr. Rad. Thank you Dr. Rad for resolving my Ectropion! I never thought it could be done, especially after speaking to the local Florida doctors who seemed to brush my concerns aside. “Recommending” Doctor Rad is an understatement. I believe that a man or woman must go to Doctor Rad because of his skill and care for his patients.
