Hello Interloper!

All of this has happened before lunch!
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 fat into each buttock.
This is a long procedure, taking about three hours, but all goes well. I use the PureGraft system to prepare the fat, which gives very good quality fat for grafting.
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. 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.
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. Have to sign a few letters and call a patient to discuss her mammogram results before I can get home to see my kids. A day in the life of a London-based plastic surgeon is certainly varied!
