Welcome, Scrub Warriors, to the dog days of August! The sun is blazing, the beach is calling, and somewhere, a poor soul is stepping on a bee. But don't worry; we're here to help you avoid that little summer snafu while keeping you entertained with the latest trends in the OR.
Surgical Trends: Keeping It Natural (Mostly)
In the world of surgical aesthetics, August is all about stepping back from extremes and embracing natural beauty. No more BBLs that defy gravity or fillers that make your face scream "pillow fight!" Instead, it's about subtle enhancements and body contouring that work with your body's natural curves (General Surgery News) (Byrdie).
Here's what's buzzing:
- Under-Eye Magic: Forget looking perpetually tired. Blepharoplasty is here to lift those droopy eyelids, giving you the fresh-faced look you deserve, whether you're in scrubs or swimwear (Byrdie).
- Sculpt and Tighten: With everyone on a quest for a svelte summer bod, non-invasive treatments like EmSculpt Neo and Ultherapy are flying off the shelves faster than a new scrub cap at a hospital clearance sale (General Surgery News) (Byrdie).
- Butt and Bust: Say goodbye to XXL and hello to proportional. This season, it’s about enhancing what you’ve got, not turning heads for the wrong reasons (Byrdie).
The Scrub Tech's Survival Guide to Summer
While we love staying updated on surgical trends, we know the real battle is surviving those long, hot shifts without melting faster than ice in a latte. Here’s how you can keep your cool this August:
- Stay Hydrated: Whether it's your trusty tumbler or a coconut on the beach, keep that water (or hydration-enhancing beverage) flowing.
- Sun Safety: Remember to slip, slap, and slop – even if you're just slipping into your scrubs, slapping on a mask, and slopping antiseptic all day.
- Bee Aware: Keep an eye on your toes! Our podiatry-themed boxes this month are all about protecting those precious feet from unexpected stingers and summer heat.
