Wishing all my patients, friends, and family a very Happy Halloween from Killer Clown Fifty Pound 🤡 🔪 and Spider-Pumpkin 🕷️🎃

I’ve come to the end of a very busy week that involved the full spectrum of what I do in cosmetic, reconstructive, and hand surgery. As I came to my desk to do some paperwork before I start my weekend I saw the breast reconstruction awareness that Sammy Trivett 🧿 left for me on my desk and I felt like this picture encapsulates a lot about what I do. I’m very grateful for it 🙏🏻 Enjoy the Halloween weekend everyone! 🎃

CAUTION ⚠️ GRAPHIC ⚠️ ACHTUNG Today I got to use one of my favorite surgical instruments, the operating microscope 🔬This patient unfortunately had a bad encounter with a table saw lacerating all four of the fingers on his left hand severely. His index and small finger sensory exam was abnormal, and I suspected nerve injuries. After performing a couple of tendon repairs, I was able to, under the microscope, primarily repair the ulnar digital nerve of his small finger. The radial digital nerve of his index finger had a small gap in it, and I decided to employ one of my favorite new technologies, This allows a tensionless repair with a nerve conduit. (It also feels like you are wrapping a microscopic Chipotle burrito! 🌯) I love helping patients, I love plastic surgery, and I love hand and microsurgery 🥰🙏🏻🤓

It felt great to see my lovely patient today after I did her tummy tuck this past summer. She let me know that she has recently been getting lymphatic massages. She reported to me that her massage therapist, who makes a living doing this type of therapy on patients after tummy tuck, was very impressed and wanted to know where her work was done. I told her to let her know she should look no further than Old Bridge, NJ for your friendly, neighborhood plastic surgeon 😎🙏🏻👙🔥

Teaching is a passion of mine, and I got up very early, braved the traffic, and took the trek up to Nutley twice this week to head back to the gross anatomy lab. I was grateful for the invitation from the Anatomy department at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine to teach anatomy of the upper extremity. It’s always fun to be around the students and it’s particularly rewarding to be teaching the next generation of physicians and surgeons. 👨🏻‍⚕️🙏🏻

Fat grafting is a wonderful tool in our armamentarium as plastic surgeons. We are able to harvest fat from areas where patients would like to get rid of it and transfer the fat to areas where they want it. In today’s case I harvested this lovely, pure, yellow fat from the belly and transferred it to a patient’s irradiated, contracted breast after she had lumpectomy and radiation to treat a breast cancer. The fat brings along with it stem cells that help repair and restore the breast after the radiation injury. It’s an awesome way to utilize the body’s ability to heal itself.

Lipomas are super common, and while I think they can be cute as evident in this picture, they can be super annoying. Complaints can range from them appearing unsightly to uncomfortable or both. The good news is they’re very treatable with and when the lipomas are small subcutaneous ones like these, they can often be removed in a straightforward manner under local anesthesia. If you have one that you’ve been following for a while, but have been wondering if it’s time to get rid of it, see one of our This recent patient had six taken out in one day and was feeling a lot less lumpy afterward.

CAUTION ⚠️ GRAPHIC ⚠️ ACHTUNG This young teen was struck with a chainsaw resulting in an extensor carpi ulnaris tendon injury in his wrist with a significant gap in the tendon, appreciable on MRI. I recommended exploration of his wrist and tendon reconstruction with a palmaris longus tendon graft (the palmaris longus is an accessory flexor of the wrist). The precise amount of graft necessary to bridge the gap was harvested in a minimally invasive way from his volar wrist and transplanted. This very brave and resilient young patient has done exceedingly well. He has full range of motion and strength and is back to all of his regular activities, including youth sports. I’m grateful for he and his family’s confidence in me and for his outstanding result. 🙏🏻
