One of the hardest surgeries I've ever done...[WARNING - photos]

My daughter's bear sustained a massive head wound recently. Tonight I conducted major facial reconstructive surgery. I apologize for not having any "before" pictures, but time was of the essence. I think it turned out quite well. The injury was just below the left eye. You be the judge.

1. Darn! I was hoping for gorey surgery shots!

Cute bear though! Glad the operation was a success!

2. Good work, should heal nicely

At worst, it will just need some vitamin E cream applied daily for a year or so until the worst of the scarring disappears.

I can just imagine the pressure in theatre, not a patient you would want to loose.

8. Did a dingo get him?? a Gator??

We need to know how he sustained his "injuries":)

11. I think it may have been the cat

We discovered him after the attack. I suppose he could have fallen off the bed and landed on some blunt scissors, but I find it unlikely. I suspect the cat in this.
