Post Operative Care

Postoperative care is the care you receive after a surgical procedure. It is a vital aspect of patient care which we take seriously at Grandville medical and laser. It often includes, recovery from Anaesthesia , pain management , wound care and management of other co-morbidities. The goal of postoperative care is to prevent complications, promote healing of the surgical site/s, and to ensure that you return to a good state of health.

The type of care you will receive depends on the type of surgery you intend to have, as well as your pre existing health history.

Postoperative care for most people usually begins immediately after surgery. In our facility, It begins right from the first consultation in the doctors office, in the theater and lasts through the duration of your hospital stay and continues after you’ve been discharged.

As part of your postoperative care, during consultation, you are provided with Read more “Post Operative Care”

General Anaesthesia- Allay your fears

You might have heard cases of people waking up in the middle of a major surgery or people passing on from anaesthesia. As a surgeon, I get a lot of request from patients who are afraid to go under the General anaesthesia because of these incidences. They request to have their procedures done under Local Anaesthesia which leaves them widely awake but with partially deadened part of the body to be operated upon.

For patients who asks for this option of anaesthetic, I tell them that we do not employ that form of anaesthesia for certain procedures because of the following reasons: If Read more “General Anaesthesia- Allay your fears”

THINKING COSMETIC SURGERY ?

It is not uncommon to have people walk into the clinic for consultation holding tightly to a portrait of how they want to look immediately after waking up from anesthesia.”Doctor , this is how i want to look”. It would seem as though cosmetic surgery would transform an alligator into a butterfly.

People get cosmetic surgery for many reasons. Some want to look younger. Others seek to change a body feature they’ve never liked, some aim at restoring their confidence after losing their former selves to natural events like pregnancy, ageing or previous botched surgeries while some others just totally want to run away from themselves into a brand new body.

While the decision is a personal one, it is important to note Read more “THINKING COSMETIC SURGERY ?”

7 Skincare Sins, You Should Not Be Caught Doing

Sometimes, Skincare and maintaining a good and healthy look is more about kicking out some bad habits, changing routines, and cultivating new habits.

What you need to know about skin grafting?

What is a skin grafting?
Skin grafting is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a healthy skin tissue from one area of the body and moving it, or transplanting it, to a different area of the body.
A skin graft is the healthy skin taken from an area of your body called the donor site. The skin may be taken from an area near the injury to match the area where the graft will be placed. Grafts that are artificial or come from another person or animal may be used temporarily. These are used as covers when large areas of the skin are damaged. They are replaced with your own skin over time. Read more “What you need to know about skin grafting?”

Take a Break… Give Your Skin a breather

I’ve met and related with hundreds of women in this profession and one thing I realized is that having a perfect body shape is just one of the many concerns women have regarding their body and perceived beauty.
Smooth and flawless skin is another source of women’s concern and obsession. For this reason, the average contemporary woman spends a small fortune on skincare products thereby making the cosmetic industry a million-dollar industry.

Skincare is an obsession for most women. Read more “Take a Break… Give Your Skin a breather”

Skin Blemishes and Laser Treatment- How much do you know about it

For a couple of months now, I’ve been receiving emails and DMs on our Instagram page from women everywhere complaining bitterly about various skin challenges ranging from skin tags, excess hair on the body, tribal marks, scars, etc. I’ve also received emails from those who are desperate to get rid of a tattoo they had when they were much younger.

After consultation with quite a number of them, I’ve concluded that skin blemishes, acne, wrinkles, scars, and other skin blemishes are a major source of concern for most people especially women.  Although these conditions may not be a major medical issue, they are, however, a source of insecurities, frustration, and embarrassment to a whole lot of women.

Skin blemishes come in different forms and are caused by several factors. Which include genetics, nutrition, exposure to sun rays, the side effect of certain drugs, environmental factors, age, childbearing, hormones, etc. Most of these can be treated with the use of Laser treatment.

If you were one of these women, which of these letters would you write to me:

Dear Dr. Laser,
My problem is stretch marks. I have it all over my body. I can hardly wear a short sleeved top. It has become so very embarrassing.
