I had plastic surgery to remove pre cancer cells from the skin below my left eye. I was surprised to get called to have the surgery so quickly during the height of the pandemic. The surgery went well and was carried out under local anaesthetic. All members of staff were extremely professional. The surgery was expertly carried out by Stuart.
Unfortunately in the week after surgery the centre of the graft turned black. I called the plastic surgery clinic at QMH on the number I was given and asked to email a photo. I was immediately called back and reassured and told to report to report to the clinic a few days later.
On reporting to the clinic it was found that the the dissolving stitches had not dissolved. Stuart later conjectured that this was the cause of the necrosis to the centre of the graft. Over the next three Mondays I attended the clinic where my wound was diligently and professionally attended to by the nursing staff. (Angela and Jo). My last appointment was today when I was told that I did not need to return as the wound had adequately healed.
