Everything was first class from start to finish.
My thanks to Dr Rajpar, Mr Odeke and all the other staff at Midland Skin who helped.
After doing some research, I decided to go to Midland Skin for treatment for rhinophyma (an advanced form of rosacea), which is a progressive disfiguring skin condition affecting the nose.
I wanted advice from a recognised consultant dermatologist and, if required, plastic surgery with the latest laser equipment involving a recognised and experienced plastic surgeon.
Initial Consultation with Dermatologist
Dr Rajpar explained the condition, advised on the best medication to slow the progress and advised my GP of what to prescribe for me for the future.
The option for plastic surgery and the process involved was explained, and detailed information about what to expect and aftercare requirements were provided. A comprehensive set of notes and instructions for me to take away to look at were also provided.
A care plan and cost was subsequently sent to me. It was then up to me to decide whether to go with medication to slow progress or have the laser resurfacing to reshape my nose.
Laser Resurfacing
I decided to take the option of laser resurfacing. The cost seemed fair and competitive, and anyone with this type of condition will know how much it can affect confidence etc. Having read about Ablative Laser Resurfacing, I knew that this was the best equipment and process available for my condition.
The process was painless as the area to be resurfaced was numbed. Mr Odeke (plastic surgeon) and Dr Rajpar both attended and worked together to perform the procedure.
Amazingly, there was no pain when the anaesthetic wore off, and no need for any pain killers.
After Care
Very impressed with the aftercare received from Midland Skin. Daily photographs were sent in for Dr Rajpar to monitor progress. Any deviation from the expected progress was picked up by Dr Rajpar, and advice given on what to do. A prescription was quickly provided when needed, and a visit arranged to review progress and do a little work to enhance the healing process. It was really reassuring to have daily feedback and advice and help when needed during the healing process.
The Outcome
Just brilliant. Very happy with the result. I would not hesitate to use Midland Skin again.
Once again, my thanks to everyone from Midland Skin for the excellent service provided.
