Age is merely a number, but delaying surgery potentially allows other health issues to arise. It's important to remember that good health is ideal for elective surgery. Rev Rhino took approx 3 1/2 hours. Road to recovery from complete nose reconstruction is long and slow. Plenty of info on Web regarding congestion, swelling, bruising, numbness,and healing process. Must admit that 1st Rhino op was a breeze compared to Rev Rhino. 1st few days after op were the rough. I felt very tired, no energy, bed ridden, slept alot and just rest, rest, and more rest. No pressure on nose Bridge meant no glasses or driving for 6 weeks. Sleeping upright and flat on back proved uncomfortable. Use common sense to avoid unnecessary knocks as nose is EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. ( no babysitting spaghetti arm kids, Sleeping in spare room). After 6 weeks, nose is still not fully recovered. However, I'm back into full swing of normal activities and enjoying life. Hope this helps.
Dr. Mark Baldwin is an Exceptionally Gifted Surgeon
At 64 years of age, I underwent a revision rhinoplasty allograft performed by Dr. Mark Baldwin. My ENT Specialist referred me to Mark. Mark was open and honest about all aspects and expectations, including some very disturbing facts. I left my 1st appointment numbed and speechless.
I required an allograft (use of donor rib cartilage from a dead person to reconstruct my nose). Allograft in rhinoplasty is extremely uncommon and only used as a last resort. Definitely not for the faint hearted. After much deliberation, I went ahead with surgery and never looked back. The surgery was successful and exceeded all my expectations. Mark's skills as a highly qualified surgeon was immediately obvious. The results were amazing and life changing. I could see a substantial improvement in nose, both functional and aesthetic. For the 1st time in my life I could breathe easily and noticed an improvement in my asthmatic cough. My nose looked straight and no longer bent in both directions L and R (caused possibly by major nose trauma from M.V accident in 1990). Nose suited my face. I now have a similar 1974 rhino post-op nose (early pioneer days of plastic surgery in Aus). My perforated septum no longer causing any issues at this early stage.
His calmness projects a re-assuring sense of feeling safe, minimising any anxiety factor. He is quietly confident, enthusiastic, passionate, extremely talented, accepts challenges and is highly skilled with many of experience behind him. Combine all these attributes and you have an exceptionally gifted surgeon, a rare quality to find.
Thank you Mark, I am forever grateful that you saw my ne5theds and took me under your umbrella as a patient. We both know it is easy to refuse to operate aand turn someone away (knocked back by another Dr.). But you didn't. Despite all the red flags, knowing all the risks and complications, Mark was willing to take up the challenge.
Once more a sincere heartfelt thank you.
