repair and reconstruction of toenail bed
General ReconstructionI am looking for someone to repair my damaged toenail bed & matrix. I am a R.N. and worked through the Covid Pandemic even though nails/ nail beds were painful/pressure. I didn't miss one day of work. My toenails hurt all the time; but I'm told my nails are not ingrown but that my nail matrix/bed/scars need repair. I'm willing to pay on my own. I just need to find a doctor who specializes in this
Malignant hyperthermia
Tummy TuckI am very interested in having a tummy tuck but I do have MH. I am having difficulty finding a surgeon who will take me on. I live in Fauquier County but am willing to travel for the right surgeon. Any suggestions on how to find one?
What surgery?
Chin SurgeryHi, I have been in a touch with a couple of surgeons to enhance my lower third. Some recommend an orthognathic surgery. Others think it's too invasive and instead advise on a genioplasty with additional jaw implants to widen the jaw. I'm very confused at the moment and asking for a second opinion. Thanks

Tummy Tuck Separation
Wound CareI had my tummy tuck on the 23rd of September so I am 1 month post op today and my incision has been dealing with some separation issues. I am just looking for a second opinion and any ideas or things I should know to help promote healing, my surgeon is on the opposite side of the country and I cannot afford to fly down right now so just looking for some immediate ideas and support. Thanks

General ReconstructionI would be very willing to share every bit of my story , if I were able to find a surgeon to help me. At this point, I have been turned down by every doctor I have ever reached out to. Trying to keep my hopes and spirits up. I belong to a support group for this and there are so many people who have the same request as I do. I thank the dr that has recently tried to help me find someone.

Life saving plastic surgery (bilateral masectomy + nipple graft)
Body MasculinizationI received top surgery from Dr. Samuel Lien in WA and am so thankful I did. Dr. Lien is a kind, skilled surgeon with an eye for anatomy and understanding of diverse body shapes. His bedside manor made me feel respected, safe and comfortable; he was good with my pronouns and is LGBTQ+ friendly too. I feel confident, thrilled with the results and love my chest now!!

Why a Breast Reduction Includes a Lift
Wednesday, May 5, 2021DYK a breast reduction includes a breast lift? It's true. Taking away tissue helps, but the lift aspect can provide tremendous relief to neck, back and should pain. Also, the areola will get smaller. How's that? It's all in the video.
The Miseducation of Plastic Surgery
Wednesday, April 14, 2021Watch Drs. Karen Horton and Jamie Moenster debunk the myths. Plastic surgery isn't always scarless (but we know where to hide and treat them). It isn't vain (taking care of yourself never is). It isn't fake (you'll look like yourself, just refreshed).
