Dr. Lindsey 13 months out from 3100 up front in a 57 year old marathon athelete

[Dr. William Lindsey]

This quite fit fellow had 3100 up front last year and was kind enough to drop by while in our area last week. Interestingly, he has a cardiac condition called atrial fibrillation, often seen in older folks, but increasingly common in younger aerobically trained atheletes. We got permission for him to come off of his blood thinners 5 days preop and he started up immediately postop. I was expecting more swelling as a result but it didn’t seem to have any effect even though he had “thin blood” starting right after surgery.

He has grown in quite well and plans a second case next year to address the crown.

Shown are preop, intraop, postop, 1 month scar check, and 13 month pictures.

Great work, that strip picture is pretty horrific, mind.

 

(Im very squeamish though, lol)

[Dr. William Lindsey]

Thanks. I have caught some grief for strip excision pics before, but I believe its all part of the informed consent process. Everyone who signs up with me sees several similar cases and a range of scar results.

 

Thanks

Nikki put these 2 cases to a bit of Lynard Skynard. Enjoy the music.
