I'll have to admit that before Easter Saturday 2018 I was skeptical of the practice of plastic surgery, that it was for the privileged and vain. All that changed the night my 10 yr old daughter was admitted to Presbyterian's Children's ER. She had sustained multiple dog bites to her face, specifically her mouth and lips, and hands. Dr Nyame (Dr Theo to us now) with the tiniest and most precise surgery, put my beautiful daughter back together again. He was so kind and calm. Reassured us that this was fixable and even managed to make us laugh. Let me sit right next to her during all of the reconstruction. Calmed me down when I fell apart after they started her ketamine drip. We forget that plastic surgeon is there for us not only to help us look like our best selves but also in the middle of the night during our worst fears come true.
Only a week and a half has gone by and honestly I am shocked at how well my daughter looks. She is truly and unbelievably almost back to her old self. She looked in the mirror the other day and said "Dr Theo is amazing. He is a miracle worker" I completely agree.
Thank you Dr Nyame for choosing plastic surgery and giving my daughter her beautiful face.
