OHIP
Years back, Baum performed two otoplasties on me and two blepharoplasties on my mother and the results looked like this man had never performed plastic surgery in his life. The results were horrible. He left my mother with uneven eyelids, severe scarring and nerve damage. It was something out of a horror movie. Thank goodness she was able to find an eye specialist here in canada to fix his mistakes as best as possible. It scares me that he even wanted a third go at her. Any revision requires a specialist yet he was willing to keep performing surgery on her like it was nothing. With me, he told me that otoplasty was a straight forward surgery and he pinned my ears to my head. Otoplasty is a surgery with an incredibly high success rate. In my opinion, if you cant properly pin an ear back, you have no business practicing as a plastic surgeon. I went to numerous other surgeons and was told to go back to Baum so I reluctantly did. After the second surgery, he left my right ear with horrible scarring and a hole behind it and the left was still overcorrected with a stitch protruding out of the antihelix. I am now in the process of traveling to an ear reconstruction specialist with years of otoplasty revision experience to fix his mistakes which will now cost a good chunk of money. I personally feel Baum is a horrible plastic surgeon and wouldn't even recommend him to my worst enemy. His results, in my opinion, were of those of a subpar surgeon at best with very limited experience. Allowing this man to attempt plastic surgery on me and my mother was definitely a horrible experience for the both of us.
