Introducing Dr. Walden's Calendar Girls of 2011!

Welcome to 2011! Yes, we are late getting started showing you our calendar girls, but we've had a few things going on :)Anyway, we'd like to showcase some of our favorite patients month by month this year starting with Allison! She is a lovely young woman who is beautiful and was confident enough in herself to research and choose to undergo rhinoplasty, or nasal reshaping surgery.

The "Gammy" Awards

Whether they stole the show in a mini, or were sexily peaking out from underneath the slit of a gown, beautiful legs were a full on accessory at last night's grammy awards. Some of these ladies could have gotten away with wearing no makeup at all since the viewer's eye was never going to make it above the waist anyway.

One of the most grueling things during surgical training is emergency room call, where you have to make yourself available for services 24/7. In plastic surgery there are 2 things that torture you 1) hand injuries - which inevitably happen late at night and can require urgent multi-hour surgery2) calls to the children's hospital for lacerations. Dealing with pediatric patients can be very tricky as they are difficult to anesthetize to repair even simple lacerations. What in an adult can take several minutes, can take an hour+ by the time everything is set up. Part of the frustration involves the sometimes "under informed" phone calls that usually come from a desk clerk or nurse who has little to no idea why they're calling you.

In case anyone was wondering whether or not the plastic surgery obsession was just an American thing, it was confirmed this week by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that the folks across the pond are equally has addicted.
