An earring caught on clothing, a piercing that has gradually enlarged, or years of wearing heavier jewellery can leave an earlobe stretched, partially torn or split.

Earlobe repair surgery, known as Lobuloplasty, involves removing the stretched piercing tract and carefully bringing the tissue together to repair the lobe’s shape and structure. I perform this under local anaesthetic at my Worcester clinic, with the approach tailored to the condition of the tissue.

As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection and scarring which we discuss before you decide whether to proceed. Patients also often ask about how soon earrings can be worn again. Re-piercing is included in the package and performed after the healing is complete, usually around 3 months.

The summer holiday may be a distant memory now, but you may have noticed that a few dark patches have lingered rather longer than your tan, or that your skin feels rougher and looks more uneven than it did in spring.

Patients often ask me whether a chemical peel or microneedling would be the better option. In my latest blog, I explain how the treatments differ because both have downtime and require appropriate aftercare, as well as what recovery involves and why assessing your skin should come before choosing a procedure. I also explain when a persistent rough patch or changing area of skin needs medical attention rather than a cosmetic treatment.

Autumn can be a practical time to explore these treatments, as avoiding direct sunshine during recovery is often easier. You still need sun protection, though, even when the forecast seems to consist entirely of rain.

But as autumn arrives, you may have noticed that your skin looks rather different from how it did in spring. The familiar dark patches have become more noticeable, your compl...

When patients ask me about eyelid surgery, they often have a lot of practical questions. What does the operation involve? Where will the scar sit? How much time should they allow for recovery?

Upper lid Blepharoplasty removes excess skin from the upper eyelids – for some patients, the concern is their appearance; for others, excess skin may also interfere with their upper field of vision.

Having had this procedure myself, I understand that deciding to have surgery so close to the eyes that will change your appearance is a big step. As an Oculoplastic surgeon specialising in eyelid surgery, I perform a detailed assessment of the eye and tear film on my blepharoplasty patients pre-operatively to assess ocular surface health using the latest imaging technology. A cooling off period between consultation and surgery is observed and a complimentary second appointment is offered to all patients considering blepharoplasty surgery.

I call my patients the morning after surgery and support the post-operative recovery, being available if any queries arise, and review one week post-operatively for removal of stitches and an inclusive Eyelight Photomodulation Red light eye mask treatment.

Improving the confidence of my patients with blepharoplasty surgery is one of the most satisfying aspects of my work and why I love it so much!

These images show one of my patients before and after upper lid blepharoplasty at my Worcester clinic, taken three months apart.

Before recommending surgery, I assess the area carefully and discuss the patient’s medical history, concerns and expectations. We also talk through the alternatives, risks and recovery, so there is time to consider what the procedure involves before making a decision.

The photographs document this patient’s individual outcome at this stage of healing. Results and recovery vary, and a consultation is needed to establish if surgery is appropriate (shared with the patient’s permission).

Today is World Menopause Day, an opportunity to have open, informed conversations about a stage of life that can affect everything from our eye health and sense of wellbeing to our confidence and relationships.

As a woman in midlife, I'm passionate about helping others better understand what's happening to their bodies, separating fact from fiction and encouraging more open conversations about midlife health. Over on my blog, I've explored a range of menopause-related subjects, sharing medical insights, practical advice and a little reassurance along the way.

So, pop the kettle on and have a read. And please do share the articles with anyone who might benefit from them.

A warm welcome, a friendly face and even your favourite music 🎶One of the things I'm most proud of is the atmosphere we've created at my clinic.

I want everyone who walks through the door to feel welcome, comfortable and completely at ease. I know that visiting a medical or aesthetics clinic can feel a little daunting, particularly if it's your first time, so my team and I do everything we can to make the experience as relaxed and personal as possible.

We take the time to get to know you, answer your questions and explain exactly what to expect. And yes, if you'd like your favourite music playing during your treatment, we're more than happy to oblige!

Of course, clinical expertise and patient safety will always come first, but I also believe that feeling genuinely cared for is an important part of the whole experience.

I look forward to welcoming you soon

One of the things I really enjoy about my work is the opportunity to get out of the clinic and talk about subjects I'm passionate about, particularly women's health and wellbeing.

Over the years, I've been invited to speak at wellness events, retreats, business groups and conferences, covering everything from menopause and skin health to nutrition, ageing and looking after ourselves at different stages of life.

As a woman navigating many of these changes myself, I love being able to combine my medical knowledge with personal experience, encourage conversation and answer those questions we don't always feel comfortable asking.

If you're organising an event and looking for a speaker, I'd be delighted to hear from you. Find out more here: https://www.drjuliasen.co.uk/our-events

Autumn is an excellent time for a chemical peel. Months of stronger UV exposure can leave skin looking a little dull, uneven or more noticeably pigmented, and you may be seeing sun spots, changes in texture or fine lines that weren’t quite so obvious earlier in the year.

Chemical peels work by removing dead surface skin cells while stimulating the production of new collagen, helping to improve texture and tone. And there’s a good reason we tend to talk about them more as we move into autumn and winter. After a peel, your skin needs particularly careful protection from UV exposure, including daily SPF 50. With the intense summer sun behind us and shorter days ahead, this can be an easier time of year to plan treatment and look after your skin properly afterwards.

It's also an opportunity to address some of the damage and changes that have accumulated over the summer, and give your skin considered attention as we head into the colder months.

If you’d like to find out whether a chemical peel could be suitable for your skin, please get in touch with the clinic.
