Edit A day in the life of surgeon

<p style="line-height: normal;"><em><strong>All of this has happened before lunch!</strong></em></p> <p style="line-height: normal;">Have a quick chicken salad for lunch before my next patient, who is having fat grafting to enhance her buttocks. I will need to harvest a large volume of fat from her tummy, sides, and back as we plan to get about 500cc of <a href="/treatment/fat-transfer-injections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fat</a> into each <a href="/treatment/buttock-lift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buttock</a>.  </p> <p style="line-height: normal;">This is a long procedure, taking about three hours, but all goes well. <br /><br />I use the PureGraft system to prepare the fat, which gives very good quality fat for grafting.  </p> <p style="line-height: normal;">Her shape looks great at the end and I put her into a support garment before she is moved to the recovery.  She will be up and about after four hours, and on her way home soon after that. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <br /><br /></span>It’s been a good day and I have managed to reply to all the email queries from patients’ in-between operations.  My nurse has seen five post-operative patients during the day.  </p> <p style="line-height: normal;">Normal removal of sutures and dressings, and we spend a few minutes reviewing these patients to ensure that their recovery is going well.  I check on all the patients before heading over to the clinic. <br /><br />Have to sign a few letters and call a patient to discuss her mammogram results before I can get home to see my kids. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <br /><br /></span><em><strong>A day in the life of a London-based plastic surgeon is certainly varied!</strong></em></p>
