For almost 20 years, I’ve been a craniofacial surgeon at the Sydney Children’s Hospital at Randwick addressing the facial deformities of children born with congenital and post-traumatic birth defects.
It’s such a privilege to be able to change the lives of children, to the extent we can, with some of the procedures we perform.
Over the years, I have been so pleased to receive messages from past patients who now, as teenagers and young adults, gratefully express to me how the procedures performed when they were young, have improved the quality of their lives.
These kinds of messages make the work so worthwhile and rewarding.
My role at the Sydney Children’s Hospital will always be an important part of the practice because, as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I think it is imperative that I give back in whatever way I can.
Here are a few recent photos from the operating theatre I’m pleased to share.
