Allen Putterman, MD

5.0

Nov 22, 2024

Dr. Putterman, after lengthy research was found to be one of the highest rated occuloplastic surgeons in the country, performed my dacryosictic rhynostemy. I was only 27 at the time and very concerned about the facial scarring.
The surgery included removal of broken tear ducts by cutting about 1.5" from corner of my eye to follow my natural bag line and drilling a new drainage area through bone.
It was a very serious surgery that initially left a nasty scar. The recovery was rough, much worse than advised and anticipated. But after several months maybe close to a year, the scar was finally gone...completely blended in to my bag line under my eye just like Dr. Putterman assured me. Most importantly, the surgery was a complete success and my eye finally quit constantly watering after a year+ dealing with that annoying symptom.
Unfortunately, now 15 years later this problem has returned as warned by the Dr. So I hope the man with the magic hands is still doing surgeries.
Thank you to Dr. Putterman and all his fantastic staff!
