Why would a cosmetic physician go to an Emergency Medicine (EM) conference?

Some of my patients would know that my background is EM and I like to keep up with new developments as well as brush up on clinical knowledge.

In many ways, EM is a great base with which to start cosmetic medicine.

An EM consultant goes through a specialist pathway mastering basic science such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and pathology and then gaining clinical skills in rapidly assessing patients, instituting potentially life saving treatments with limited information, procedural skills, point of care ultrasound and dealing every day with multiple groups of people such as patients, their families, other hospital staff, consultants, GPs, ambulance, police etc. You are skilled in communication, resourcefulness, teamwork, calmly making rapid effective decisions and have lots of technical experience in procedures involving skin.

Of course, much additional training is required in cosmetic medicine but aren't those unique EM qualities and skills one could use just as effectively in cosmetic medicine?

Who feels the same?

Rejuvenating that tired look 😁

Thank you to our lovely patient for allowing us to share her before and after photos.

Forehead ageing

The forehead is a relatively neglected area for many patients. With general ageing, the fat pads shrink in volume and you can start seeing the shape of the bone underneath 😯

Thank you to our lovely patient for letting me share her results.

Using 2ml of filler and a long cannula, I safely placed the filler in the supraperiosteal plane (that is between the bone and the frontalis muscle). This is the best and safest level to place filler in most of the forehead. Too superficial and you run the risk of vascular occlusion in the supraorbital and supratrochlear arterial tree.

The choice of filler is important too. A softer filler is preferred. Comfort level is great due to easy anaesthesia with a supraorbital nerve block.

What do you think?

Lip magic 😍

I'm finding more frequently now that I'm placing less filler into the lips.

What would have been in the past an easy to decide 1ml lip is now an even easier to decide 0.5ml lip.

Of course our patient didn't need much filler to improve her lips. She had beautiful full lips to begin with so we would never have contemplated a whole ml (though other might have). I just added some height and some plumpness to "fill out" the fine lip creases.

What do you think?

magic

Just to whet your appetites for the reopening in Sydney.

Thank you to our brave patient who allowed us to share her photos.

She is a real fan of PDO mono threads!

These are thin strands of polydioxanone that are inserted into the skin with a small needle. The PDO breaks down in the skin over 6 months and stimulates collagen.

Guess how many she had in total that day? We did both face and neck in one sitting 😬

There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

For our loyal patients who've been enduring Sydney's lockdown for the last 14 weeks, we can announce our general reopening on Monday October 11.

We've started to contact our many patients who have had their appointments cancelled throughout July, August and September to rebook.

A few housekeeping points.

As per the NSW Public Health Orders, we are able to see fully vaccinated patients from October 11.

If you are not vaccinated or have yet to receive your 2nd dose, please contact us for our arrangements.

We encourage everyone to organise their Covid vaccinations as soon as you can. Please speak with your GP if you have any reservations about the vaccines themselves.

As in any time in the last 18 months, anyone who has current respiratory or other symptoms which could be Covid related are urged to get Covid PCR testing and to not attend any appointments until you are clear.

The same applies for any patients who are close contacts or who have been told they must isolate for any other reason.

Please stay safe and look after yourselves. It's not long to go until Sydney can open up again 😁😁😁

So here we are now in the 10th week of our delta virus lockdown in Sydney!

We hope everyone is managing OK and that their stress levels are manageable. It's been a tough time for most of the population of Sydney (and Melbourne).

And we're all looking older funnily enough 😉

Vaccination rates are slowly climbing which is great news.

The NSW Premier has hinted at some easing of restrictions once we attain certain levels of fully vaccinated people. We don't know exactly when this will be (possibly some time in October) or whether the easing will only apply to those that are fully vaccinated.

As health professionals, we support the public health message from NSW Health and encourage our patients to get their vaccinations.

We know some will have reservations about the new vaccines but you should direct any questions to your primary care doctor about any concerns you have about your vaccinations.

Remember we are still contactable by email and skin care sales.

Have a look at the new website for our range of treatments.

Please stay safe everyone!

BREAKING POINT: The continued closure of cosmetic clinics and beauty salons is taking a heavy toll on one Sydney marriage.

A Vaucluse man claims his wife has been left unrecognisable as she's been forced to forgo her regular facials, filler and tanning treatments for the last month during lockdown.

"You've really changed so much recently," Michael Carter told his wife Felicity. "I'm so sorry, but you're just not the person you used to be."

Mr Carter told DBT he's now filed for divorce, sharing with our reporter a before/after photo of his wife.

"You can see in the pic how her youthful and exuberant appearance before lockdown is in stark contrast to how she looks today," he says.

"Her skin has gone wrinkly and pale, and her lips have thinned right out."

In a desperate bid to save the marriage, Felicity Carter has lodged a complaint to the federal government, pleading for injectable clinics to be re-classified as 'essential services.'

"I'm yet to hear back from them," she says. "Perhaps I can convince Michael that we just have a little break until things return to normal."
