Surge in Acid Attacks Capture Nation's Attention

It was too tough for Andy's mother to stop her tears when she saw Andy in the ambulance wrapped up in blanket and carried to London's Nip N Tuck Clinic a few months back. Her face and neck was all burnt, the skin was stretched horribly and it seemed to be an end to her womanhood. Today she is fine with her face reconstructed and living a normal life. There are many such stories which happen every day; innocent women are burned mostly by their partners or relatives for not so important reasons. Acid attacks are rising in a number of countries, it is one of the most deplorable and abhorrent act. The person undergoes severe pain and if she survived the attack life is very tough for her unless she goes and consults a leading surgeon like Dr M. Jawad to reconstruct her face. The tragic event leaves behind legacy of pain, disfigurement and abject misery for the vast majority of survivors.
Burns are very painful, the scars on the skin are constricting and limiting the movement of head, limb, neck and other affected areas, the patient is in miserable condition and these burns are visible on the head, face and affected parts of the body which results in severe depression and anxiety for the victim. Life becomes a living hell for her and she starts losing all her interest in life. Aid becomes necessary for her, Dr M. Jawad specializes in dealing with these kinds of patients and he cures them returning back their hope of life.

Burn reconstructive surgeries are for both major and minor burns on the body irrespective of the sex. It includes both physical and mental treatment of the person who has suffered the injury, the time duration of the patient varies based on their seriousness and response to healing; the recovery period is painful especially for those suffering severe burns. The surgery is divided into three categories; early, late and Sequential reconstructive burns surgery.

Dr M. Jawad is an expert in performing burn surgeries for reconstruction of faces. Early reconstructive burn surgery is done in early stages when the scars are immature, that is done within 6 months after the attack. It heals and cures the patient rather then brings back his original appearance. But when much time passes and scars become mature, Dr Jawad performs late reconstructive burn surgeries. They are very affective and are followed with less follow-up procedures; in longer run they are very successful. The third procedures; sequential reconstructive burn surgery is the combination of both early and late reconstructive surgery. All these have shown positive results in curing the victim and reconstruction of burnt faces.

Whenever a patient goes for treatment to Dr. Muhammad Jawad, after examining him/her, he discusses the whole treatment procedure with them, he also informs them of all the positive and negative outcomes of the treatment and helps them emotionally and physically to deal with it. This all communication is important to return patients survival hope and return back his happiness.

The surge in crime rates in the countries have to capture nation's attention unless it becomes too late. Newspapers are filled with such reports every day and many women have become victims. Educational programs and initiatives have to be planned for women to teach them to handle such attacks, sexual violence has to be combated. Words alone cannot win the battle and time is running out, it's time to act now.
