@layssafoundation.orgUse the Foundation's resources before you book. The Layssa Foundation provides educational tools to help people research cosmetic-surgery information, verify claims, and prepare better questions before making a decision. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgPressure is a red flag. If you feel rushed to decide, pushed to pay immediately, discouraged from asking questions, or unclear about risks and recovery, give yourself more time. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgYour body is not a trend. Cosmetic choices are personal. No one should make you feel pressured to change your body to fit a trend, a surgeon's brand, or someone else's expectations. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgRecovery should not be a solo plan. Arrange safe transportation, a trusted support person, written post-op instructions, and after-hours contact information before the procedure. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgTraveling for surgery? Plan beyond the flight. Before traveling, understand where follow-up will happen, how long you may need to stay nearby, who has your records, and where you would seek care if concerns arise. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgYour surgery may be over. Your safety is not. Know your post-operative plan, who to contact, and where to seek appropriate care if something changes after you leave the facility. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety

@layssafoundation.orgFollowers are not credentials. Viral content, reviews, and popularity can influence attention, but they do not replace licensing, training, facility verification, or an honest discussion of risks. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgKnow who is on your care team. Before a procedure, ask who will perform it, who will provide anesthesia, and who will handle after-hours concerns. Clear names, roles, and contact information matter. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@patientsafetylearning.orgIn this blog, hub topic lead Richard Jones discusses the difficulties in moving NHS AI models from pilot to deployment and why many stall. He shares five things that stop a working model reaching the patient and five fixes. www.pslhub.org/learn/digita... #AI #DigitalHealth #patientsafety
@layssafoundation.orgCosmetic injections are medical procedures. Do not let convenience, discounts, or social-media advertising replace verification. Check the provider, the location, and the product before treatment. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
@layssafoundation.orgVerify the facility, not only the surgeon. Facility licensing, registration, accreditation, inspection history, and disciplinary information can be separate from a provider's credentials. Check both. https://layssafoundation.org/ #LayssaFoundation #PatientSafety
