After a botched septo-rhinoplasty and revision...

After a botched septo-rhinoplasty and revision performed by the same doctor in Windsor I was left with a horrible nose that made me horribly self conscious. After years of searching for someone I made a consultation with Dr. Golden. Upon meeting him he was frank, to the point and told me exactly what he could do and how he could improve my horribly mis-shapen nose. He showed me many cases of patients he had helped and although their cases weren't as bad as mine I was confident that this was the doctor that would finally make me want to take a photograph of myself again. During surgery he was meticulous and a perfectionist and wasn't satisfied until he had done all he could to improve my nose to the best that it could be. In my initial consult he was very forthcoming that my nose would never be 100% perfect because of the damage that's been done but that he could get it to be 90% better and that was good enough for me. His entire staff was incredibly attentive and amazing. The entire procedure took four hours and they all worked tirelessly to ensure that I was comfortable and give me the best care. I can not say enough about this wonderful doctor. Today is day one post op and I have no pain and have taken zero medication for pain. Bleeding is minimal and it hasn't even been 24 hours since my procedure. Despite the fact that my nose is swollen I am already amazed at the transformation. This man is not only an amazing facial plastic surgeon but an artist. I can't thank him enough for what he's done.

What did he fill the indents with

He basically removed all the previous cartilage that was used from the previous rhinoplasty as there was way too much and it was twisted as you can see and rebuilt it properly.

How is your recovery going? Are you dealing with a lot of swelling?

Recovery is great and although I know it takes p to a year for swelling to subside I don't notice much. I am very happy with the results!

Hi, I am also a golden patient and I'm wondering if you ever got your operative report? Since he retired I don't know how to get a hold of it.

I had surgery in August so everything was given to me before he retired in Jan.

Wow! You look gorgeous. I would have thought you were born with that nose.

Thank you so much! So very happy with the results that I don’t even think about my old nose, whereas before it used to consume me.
