Reconstructive Surgery Before and After Pictures by John J.W. Lee, MD, FACS

Many significant innovations for rejuvenating skin has been the outcome of more and more people seeking out non-invasive procedures. One of the latest techniques involves PRP or platelet-rich-plasma as soft tissue filler. The science behind this started from wound repair studies indicating PRP is rich in growth factors that activate and rejuvenates cells in the body. As these PRP growth factors are released, they induce the production of collagen, generate new capillary blood supply and increase retention of moisture, all adding to skin rejuvenation by helping skin to regenerate itself.

Lawn mower accidents may require extensive plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery, so it’s important to take steps to prevent all types of injuries from machines and equipment such as lawn mowers – especially if these are operated by young children and teens this summer. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently issued a press release as part of its National Home Safety Month campaign this June, warning Americans that lawn mowers can be very dangerous to children and that proper safety precautions must be taken at all times.
