Toe Lift

 

Scarring is an entirely normal physiological process evolved over billions of years to heal wounds and an inevitable consequence of injuries, whether they be deliberate and necessary (following an operation) or unintended (following an accident). But, what actually is a scar? A scar is a healed wound that has healed in a way that is non-identical to the neighboring tissue – that is to say, it is identifiably different from the tissue it’s replacing and next to it, and it is that difference that makes it apparent. A scar can technically refer to any tissue that has healed “imperfectly” from heart muscle to tendons (and even on a metaphorical level to psychological wounds). In general, though, when we talk about scars (particularly in surgery) we mean skin scars. This definition of a scar then itself raises two questions: why is the healed skin different from the neighboring tissue, and what is the practical result of those differences? To understand these, it is important to understand ...

 

 

  Absorbable vs. Non-Absorbable Sutures: Advantages, Disadvantages, and Clinical Insights Sutures are critical in wound closure and healing, with their selection depending on factors such as wound type, skin tension, and desired outcomes. Absorbable and non-absorbable sutures are the two main categories, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. Decisions on which to use are influenced by clinical scenarios, with studies highlighting comparable aesthetic outcomes at six months in many cases. This article explores these suture types in depth, considering clinical evidence and practical considerations. Absorbable Sutures: Advantages and Disadvantages Absorbable sutures, made from biodegradable materials such as polyglactin 910 (vicryl rapide sutures) are designed to break down and be absorbed by the body over time. This eliminates the need for suture removal, a key advantage in certain patient populations and wound types. Advantages: Convenience: Since absorbable sutures ...

 The toe lift injection procedure can take time to produce desired results and sometimes requires more than one round of procedure but if you trust the process and the aftercare the potential results can be amazing.

I often tell patients that post bone surgery (something which I generally do not recommend for aesthetic issues except for a few unique cases) range of motion of the toe can be affected, which can lead the force being placed elsewhere on the foot, see the video below to learn more

Nike trainers are a widely popular footwear brand, however, for individuals of Afro-Caribbean descent, particularly women, these sneakers may not be the optimal choice. One of the primary concerns is that Nike sneakers tend to have a narrower design in comparison to other brands such as Adidas. This can pose a problem for individuals with wider feet and lower arches, which are common characteristics among individuals of Afro-Caribbean descent. Nike sneakers have become a cultural icon, worn by people of all races and backgrounds. However, individuals of Afro-Caribbean descent have a special relationship with the brand, and many choose to wear Nike sneakers as a symbol of style, status, and identity. One reason individuals of Afro-Caribbean descent may be drawn to Nike sneakers is that the brand has a long history of marketing to and collaborating with Afro-Caribbean athletes and cultural figures. This has helped to establish Nike as a symbol of excellence and achievement within Afro-Ca...

  I have been honoured to have completed over 370 toe lift procedures and 120 skin surgery procedures to patients from around the UK and France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland with patients visiting from as far as South Africa! I understand the frustration and self-consciousness that these scars can cause. These raised scars are often the result of the incorrect use of corn plasters and tight footwear, and can be painful and unsightly. They can also lead to social isolation and a reluctance to wear open-toed shoes or go on holiday to warm countries. In many cases, women with these scars do not even show their feet to their partners. It's a absolute honour to be able to help so many women from around the world. My dedication to improving these toe scars has not gone unnoticed, as I now have podiatrists from the UK and USA seeking to learn my innovative techniques. Despite initial skepticism and disparaging comments from my peers, I have persevered in my relentless drive to push the bou...

Hypertrophic scars are a type of scar tissue that form when the body produces an excess of collagen during the healing process (Ogunleye, 2014). They are raised, thick, and there is often a change in colour, and can occur on any part of the body (Ogunleye, 2014). One area where hypertrophic scars are commonly seen is on the tops of toes, particularly among African Caribbean women who have used corn plasters in correctly containing salicylic acid to treat lesions that were not actually corns. This can be classed as burn injury to the dorsum (top of) toes.  A corn is a small, circular patch of thick, hard skin that forms on the tops or sides of the toes or feet.  A corn, also known as a "clavus," "heloma," or "focal intractable plantar hyperkeratosis," is a type of callosity however they should  be distinguished from a callus, which is a more diffuse type of callosity. Thus, a corn is a well-delimited focal area of hyperkeratosis. Corns are caused by repeate...
