Encourage your patients to practice safety this holiday season. One of the top ways someone gets a facial injury during the holidays is accidents related to Christmas decorations and activities, such as: 1. Christmas Tree Accidents: Falling branches or sharp edges on artificial trees can pose a risk. 2. Ornament Injuries: Breaking glass ornaments can result in sharp cuts or puncture injuries to the face and eyes. 3. String Lights & Electrical Decor: Sharp corners, tangled cords, or electrical hazards can result in injuries if someone trips or falls. 4. Holiday Toys and Gadgets: Toys that shoot, have sharp edges, or contain small projectiles pose a significant risk, especially for children. 5. Festive Fireworks (New Year's Eve): Improper handling or close proximity to fireworks can result in severe face and eye injuries. Encourage your patients to celebrate safely this holiday season and avoid spending what should be your festive family time in surgery. 🎁 Share this post to spread the word about winter holiday safety.

Did you know that many Brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers) struggle to regulate their temperature effectively due to poorly developed and overcrowded nasal passages? Unfortunately, as temperatures rise over summer, these dogs are at a higher risk of heatstroke. Dogs will continue to pant to try to lose heat, but this can eventually lead to airway swelling and difficulty breathing. These cases can present to vets as emergencies, and sometimes, patients need a temporary tracheotomy to help stabilise their breathing. We would urge Brachycephalic dog owners to contact their vet if they notice any increased breathing effort associated with warmer weather. Importantly, if your dog is experiencing respiratory distress, it should be seen as an emergency. Wear offers fixed-price BOAS surgery packages that could help your beloved pet.

Good morning everyone! Let’s discuss Elbow Dislocation. A dislocated elbow occurs when the bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) move out of place from the joint that connects them to the upper arm bone (the humerus). This injury is common and can result from falls, accidents, or sports injuries where the arm is extended to break a fall. In children, it can also happen from a sudden pulling motion on the arm, leading to what’s called a “nursemaid’s elbow.” The most obvious symptom of a dislocated elbow is intense pain in the joint, often accompanied by visible deformity. Other signs include swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the elbow. In some cases, the dislocation can also cause damage to nearby nerves or blood vessels, leading to numbness or a cold sensation in the hand. Doctors typically diagnose a dislocated elbow through a physical exam and confirm it with an X-ray. In less severe cases, the elbow may be classified as a “partial dislocation” or subluxation, where the bones have shifted slightly but are still partially in contact. Treatment generally involves reducing the dislocation, where the doctor carefully manipulates the bones back into place. This is often done under sedation or anesthesia. After the elbow is repositioned, the joint may be immobilized with a splint or sling to allow it to heal. Physical therapy is often recommended to regain full motion and strength. In more complex cases, such as those involving fractures or ligament damage, surgery might be required to repair the structures of the elbow. Even after successful treatment, it’s important to monitor for long-term complications like stiffness, arthritis, or repeated dislocations. ****Prevention While accidents happen, taking steps to protect the elbows during sports by using proper techniques and protective gear can reduce the risk of dislocations. For children, avoiding rough pulling or jerking of the arm can help prevent nursemaid’s elbow. Overall, while dislocated elbows are painful and temporarily disabling, they are typically treatable, allowing most people to return to their normal activities with appropriate care. #orthopediccare #dislocatedelbow #dislocation #bonecare #orthopedissurgeon #orthopedissurgery

“The best compliment I have had so far is from my husband. He had initially feared I would look unnatural and pulled after my procedure. He is so relieved I still look like myself and tells me my results are beautiful. He is most excited that I am happy and more confident.” ❤️ Tiffany, 46-years-young, flew from Massachusetts for her EVELift®, volume restoration using nanofat, and MARS1 microneedling RF. We’re excited to share her day 3 results in this post—her transformation is so natural and refreshed! “One of my friends told me my skin looked great. I told her about my EVELift® and she said she could tell something was different, but would have never thought I had surgery.” #EVELiftMagic #NaturallyYou #ConfidenceRestored 🌼 Wondering why the EVELift®? 💆 Effortless Comfort: Relax during your procedure with local anesthesia + gentle IV sedation. ✅ Safe & Effective: Our meticulous process offers results patients love. 🌟 Transformative: Join many others who’ve embraced rejuvenation with EVELift®. 🌿 Natural Results: Achieve a refreshed look that feels authentic, never overdone. ⏱️ Swift Recovery: Get back to your routine quickly, with minimal downtime. 🩹 Hassle-Free: Bandages off the next day, hidden incisions, and no suture removal.

If your earlobes are elongated or your ear piercings have become long and you can no longer wear studs you may be wondering what you can do to fix this. 🤔👂 👉The answer is an earlobe repair. This is a simple procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia in less than 30 minutes.

Stop the scroll! Let's talk about doulas, c-sections, and glam! Yeah, you read it right. Glam schmam! Last summer, I dove into the world of doula certification. And guess what I found? A worrying trend of glamorizing C-sections. Think champagne grandeur with Spotify's 'Surgery Room Serenades' in the background. But here's the truth, a C-section is not a walk in the park. Shocked? Don't be. It’s major surgery, pals—a not so glamorous one! Your body deserves better. Data? Sure. Out of all my overnight newborn clients, a staggering number was still wrestling with recovery way beyond the 6-week mark. Posting glam images post-surgery isn't helping. So here’s something practical for you. Let’s focus on what really matters – the health and safety of both mother and newborn. Because ‘Sexy Surgical Summer’ might be trendy, but ‘Safe and Sound Summer’ always wins. The glamorization of C-sections needs to go. And go now. It's high time we stop falling for the hollow glitter and switch to actual facts. Wanna know more? Check out the article I was a part of [here](https://lnkd.in/gm7t92zG). Enjoyed the reality check? Follow me to get more of this, served hot and witty, right on your feed. #DoulasUnite #RealityCheck #FactOverFad

In light of Dry Eye Awareness Month, Dr Nabila Jones has this advice on dry eye disease. There are a number of changes to the eye as we age, which can cause a condition called ‘dry eye disease’ – which ironically can have overly watery eyes as a main symptom. Structural and functional changes in the tear secreting gland of the eye can cause impaired tear secretion. There are two core types of dry eye disease – the first is caused by not having enough tears (aqueous-deficient dry eye) and the second is caused by not having the correct consistency of tears so they evaporate too quickly (evaporative dry eye). The second of these is more likely to happen after the age of 50, if you have diabetes or rosacea skin conditions and it is also more common in women. What are some ways we can help combat dry eyes and watery eyes? · Almost all of us over-use technology and this can cause eyes to dry out as we actually forget to blink when focusing so hard on screens. The advice is to follow the 20-20-20 rule to give your eyes a break – look away from your screen to a distance of 20 feet, for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes. · A diet rich in Omega 3 may be useful to help prevent and manage dry eye disease. Foods such as nuts (walnuts), seeds (flax seeds) and oily fish (salmon and mackerel) are examples of foods rich in Omega 3. · Use ocular lubricants – eye drops which act as artificial tears. They are widely available from your local pharmacy, optometrist or eye doctor . Lid hygiene measures for meibomian gland dysfunction such as hot compresses, and blepharitis wipes to keep the eyelids clean are helpful and of course don’t forget to carefully remove eye make-up before bed.
