I'm So Glad I Found Mark
I had my first rhinoplasty with a different surgeon to remove a hump 10 years prior to Mark. Since then, my nose has twisted on the inside and the outside (unclear if it's due to technique or trauma or both). One of my nostrils was blocked due to the collapse caused by the twisting. I went back to the original surgeon about 5 years post op and they said they don't think they can make it better. I then had consults with 2 other surgeons; one said they won't be able to fix it and one promised me a perfect nose after barely even looking at it. I still wanted it fixed but was feeling like I won't find anyone who can do it. I did extensive research (particularly on revision rhinoplasty) and I found Mark. His work looked impressive and his patients spoke very highly of him. I went for a consult and immediately knew I had found my surgeon. He was genuine, realistic and transparent. He set my expectations early on and never pressured me to get it done- in fact he recommended I think about it and be 100% sure. I loved that he explained everything to me- from what he was planning to do, to the possible outcomes. I felt very comfortable.
I decided to go ahead with the revision rhinoplasty which required a rib graft to provide support to the structure. The team at Horizon was very professional and always available to answer any questions I had.
When it came to surgery day I was extremely nervous and both Mark and the anaesthetist came and spoke with me individually to calm my nerves. They took the time to answer all my questions and were by my side as long as I needed.
I woke up with a cast on my face and cotton-like strings in my nostrils. It wasn't comfortable but the real pain was in the ribs from the extraction of the rib graft. It hurt to get up or lay down and the first week was difficult. At first it was hard to sleep because having blocked nostrils meant I had to breath from my mouth, so when I fell asleep I woke up from a dry mouth. I got progressive relief as they took out the nostril tubes and the rib pain subsided. I was very relieved when they finally removed the cast and tape from my face as it was starting to feel very uncomfortable and gross. The nose was initially very swollen, especially at the tip but I could already see how much smaller it was.
I am now almost 1 year post op and much of the swelling has disappeared (it may take longer for all my swelling to subside as I had a lot of scar tissue from the previous surgery). I love the results and I especially love how little I think about my nose now. I no longer have to worry about what angle people are looking at me- it's very liberating. My whole face is very asymmetrical so naturally my nose will never be perfectly straight, but I am very happy with the results as it is a massive improvement to what I had before. My breathing has also improved because my nostrils are no longer collapsed.
The post op care is very thorough with Mark. There are several appointments with the nurse and with him which are all sorted and booked as you get out of surgery. Any time I had any concerns he was available to speak with. I didn't have this level of care with my previous surgeon and my only regret is not finding Mark sooner.
