Yes, you are not mistaken, that is a frozen pea ice pack!

The key to a smooth recovery from Blepharoplasty surgery is the use of ice packs, preferably frozen peas.

If you apply the peas to both eyes for 20 minutes of each hour for the day you are operated on, and the day after, bruising, swelling and pain will be greatly decreased.

With the weather just starting to warm up, it’s important to remember to protect your skin from the harsh Australian sun.

With Australian skin cancer rates being the highest in the world, it's vital that you slip, slop, slap, seek and slide.

- Slip on clothing that covers as much skin as possible
- Slop on sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher at least 20 minutes before you go outside
- Slap on a hat
- Seek shade when outdoors
- Slide on some sunglasses

Protect yourself from skin cancer and make sure you get regular skin cancer checks.

Talk to your doctor about your level of risk and for advice on early detection.

Are all surgeons the same?

When people hear the terms 'Specialist Plastic Surgeon' and 'Cosmetic Surgeon', they think they are interchangeable terms but that is not the case.

There is an important distinction between Specialist Plastic Surgeons and Cosmetic Surgeons and patients need to understand the difference so they can ensure they are getting the best care.

Only Specialist Plastic Surgeons can be members of ASPS.

“Specialist Plastic Surgeons undergo years of training and ongoing assessment to qualify for their specialist title. They are highly trained, highly qualified specialist surgeons who can safely undertake complex procedures to repair, restore or enhance all parts of a patient’s body,” says ASPS President Dr Dan Kennedy.

In addition to a six year medical degree, a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, has undertaken and successfully completed 5 years post-graduate specialty training in Plastic, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery and is qualified through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

We advise all consumers to look for the ‘FRACS’ title after a surgeon’s name to ensure they’ve had the highest level of specialist surgical training recognised by Australian medical regulators.

“This is effectively a ‘stamp of excellence’ that minimises your risks and maximises your opportunity for a positive outcome,” says Dr Kennedy.
