WORTH IT
Dr. Dickinson is truly impressive. His bedside manner is impeccable, and every time I had a concern or question he got right back to me. I’ve actually never met a doctor that genuinely cared this much and knew what he was talking about. I initially was referred to him by a psychiatrist I knew, when I had developed an infection from a previous implant removal and breast lift with a different surgeon. I was really scared to see what was happening to my chest, and he saw me repeatedly until the infection cleared up. I then underwent scar revision with him for scars I developed around the areoles and breast creases from the infection. He did a fine job in revising my scars, and I don’t know what I would have done without his help. He saved my chest! Dr. Dickinson has incredible attention to detail, and it is noticeable even in things he picks up on during normal conversation in his office. I developed such trust in his ability as a surgeon, that I asked him to perform a revision rhinoplasty as well. I am multi-racial (Bahamian, Scandinavian, Yakut, and Native American) and I had met with doctors before, for whom I just wasn’t sure could handle my racial profile. Well, Dr. Dickinson performed what I didn’t think was possible for my nose. He used a rib graft to build my bridge and also extended my tip, made it less upturned, and refined my nostrils, all as I requested. It is truly better than what I had proposed to begin with, and I almost can't believe it. I have nothing but praise and admiration for this man. I'd say he's a 10/10, but this one goes to 11 (for any "This Is Spinal Tap" fans out there :) I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.
It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.
Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.
As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.
I did consider posting a picture as I understand I would get the best advice, but decided talking about my vagina online is as far a I'm prepared to go. Good on those who do post pictures.
As regards advice to others considering this surgery, well all I could say is a simple - don't.
It's totally unnecessary and very little is known about the long term effects. I'm living proof of this fact. I dread to think what the menopause has in store for my vagina.
It doesn't matter how good a surgeon you find, you just don't know how your body will react now or later on down the line.
Anyone reading this who thinks it's an option for them, please reconsider!
