Summer-ready and bombshell status achieved after lipoabdominoplasty with me in the early spring. No doubt this lovely patient is turning heads at the shore 👙🔥🏖️ 🤩

This awesome patient is the third member of a wonderful family of patients that I have operated on. She wanted to improve her nasal curvature and reduce her dorsal hump with a cosmetic rhinoplasty while treating her deviated septum. We were able to accomplish both of her aesthetic goals using a closed technique. I’m grateful to her and her family for their confidence in me 🙏🏻👃🏻👍🏻

I remember interviewing her and telling her we had been through a number of receptionists and were looking for someone to stabilize the position. More than a decade later I got to hug her at her retirement lunch. Thanks Patty for all you did for us. You understood the assignment and we are grateful for your work. My best wishes to you on your next phase. 🙏🏻🥹

CAUTION ⚠️ GRAPHIC ⚠️ ACHTUNG Weight loss is happening more than ever these days, and while the weight goes away, the loose skin doesn’t. This morning Said Abou Samra and I helped this massive weight loss patient turn bat wings 🦇 into Michelle Obama arms 🥰

Another smiling medical student at the end of her rotation! 🥰 Jenny did an outstanding job over the last 4 weeks and I very much enjoyed having her with us. She took call with me last week and we were up all night together (with ) in the hospital operating on hand emergencies. I told her she could have the next day off, but she instead joined me for regular office hours the following morning. Not only is she a hard worker and very diligent, but she gave an excellent final presentation today (over Jaan’s pizza 🍕 ) on extensor tendon injuries inspired by her night of call with me. She wants to be a plastic surgeon and I am confident she has what it takes to get there. Today she has officially completed her third year of medical school and I wish her luck on her plastic surgery research fellowship in Buffalo next year. I am hopeful her experience with us is a step forward toward a bright career in plastic and hand surgery. 👨🏻‍⚕️

I remember interviewing her for an MA job a decade ago. Today she is a nurse 👩🏻‍⚕️ Congrats , your old boss is very proud of you 👏🏻🤩❤️
