MY PERSONAL REVIEW |
|
|
I first consulted with Dr. Darryl Hodgkinson, in late 1996, about the possibility of my undergoing a rhinoplasty. Two previous `botched' attempts by other surgeons interstate, during 1971 and 1983, had left me with a very narrow bridge and a distressing breathing problem. During our discussions, I was most impressed with the information Dr. Hodgkinson provided about my options, as well as with his staff's provision of detailed information sheets about my preparations for surgery, which also listed all the risks associated with this procedure. Most of all, I was shown a realistic likely result of this procedure. While I was also having a chin implant procedure performed by his brilliant colleague, the now `late' Professor Geoff McKellar, the combined surgeries were scheduled to take 5 hours. The post-op care I received, both in the hospital, and in the Double Bay (Dr. Hodgkinson) and Westmead (Prof. McKellar) surgeries, was nothing short of amazing. By reason of the extensive preparation and planning prior to the surgeries, there were no complications with either procedure. For the first time, since 1971, I was also able to breathe through my nose normally again! In addition, with Dr. Hodgkinson's hand selected, expert staff on hand, I always felt that nothing was too much trouble. His staff appeared to me as genuinely caring professionals, who valued patients as their no. 1 priority. The following year, in 1997, I underwent a browlift, also with a great result. During my recovery period I was able to complete two, 5000 w Philosophy assignments for my MA course at Usyd within a week, despite my still having 18 staples in my scalp after surgery, and despite my having had parts of my face laser resurfaced. The procedures had been performed with the latest minimum invasive techniques, enabling me to resume my studies a.s.a.p. In late 1998, I underwent a `natural', mini-face lift, again without any complications. Everyone I met commented on the natural result, and on my appearing to be at least 10 years younger. At the time, I was in the process of relocating to Melbourne and I didn't want to risk using another Plastic Surgeon there in the future. Even now, almost 15 years later, my facial skin has still retained its firmness, reflecting the superb skills and talents of my surgeon. As I'm a very particular Leo individual, there is simply no substitute for the very best medical care and optimum results. And I found both these essential qualities in Dr. Darryl Hodgkinson and his wonderful staff. I cannot commend him and his staff highly enough.
