Animal bites, burns, falls, household accidents or sports injuries — these are all reasons you may need to call Dr.STITCH! Our team of highly skilled, experienced plastic surgeons is available to provide immediate, on-call service for the entire family. Wondering if we can help you in case an accident occurs? Here are some common injuries we can treat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
-
LacerationsMore often referred to as a cut, lacerations are torn or jagged wounds caused by tearing of the soft body tissue. This common injury can occur from everyday tasks such as preparing food, handling power tools, bathroom slips, or toddler tumbles. If the wound shows the deeper subcutaneous tissue, or the tissue beneath the skin (often accompanied by heavier bleeding), call us for proper wound treatment. Our highly skilled surgeons are experts in plastic surgical suturing techniques to help reduce the appearance of scars.
-
BurnsHot water, curling irons, ovens, campfires, electrical contact, or fireworks — these are all common situations in which a serious burn could happen. In case of an accident, proper treatment of the area will ensure an infection doesn’t occur and help to minimize scarring.
-
Complex WoundsA big accident may result in a deeper injury. In the event of a complex wound, or one that is more than superficial, medical attention is required to treat the wound and make sure it heals properly.
-
Facial TraumaIf your little one has trauma to the face from playing sports, falling on the playground, or diving in the pool, the last thing you want is for a scar to be left behind. Because the face is especially delicate, using the proper techniques to minimize scarring is even more important in this area of the body. Our highly experienced plastic surgeons are known for their exceptional skills in repairing facial features including broken noses, jaw line lacerations, burns, and puncture wounds.
-
Hand InjuriesWe use our hands for everything, which is why it’s best to make sure they stay in working condition. For hand injuries — such as lawn mower lacerations, power tool accidents, kitchen burns, or bicycle falls — we are available for on-call, immediate service to repair any burns, lacerations, or complex wounds.
