What if you had a brand new hip, and no one could even tell? It could happen, with the new Bikini DAA – a total hip replacement surgery that minimises scarring, blood loss, and recovery times, and you don’t even need a referral.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the traditional way - is not always the best way.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing things traditionally, but when it comes to a major surgery, I want the most advanced techniques, the top new specialists, and the most cutting edge innovations - and that's why I go to MSK Doctors. You can too, if you book at https://mskdoctors.com/treatments/bikini-hip but first, let me tell you why.
The thing is, the important thing you need to know, is that at MSK Doctors they do things... differently.
For example, are you in a hurry, and don't have a referral from your GP? That's no problem.
They don't believe in waiting lists, and they don't require a referral, ever. If you've got a problem, you just book an appointment, for consultation, diagnosis, or even treatment.
I'm getting sidetracked though, we're supposed to be here to talk about hips, so let's just dive right into it.
The short answer is simple and sweet - it's better, in all the ways that count.
Let's start with the big one, Bikini is all about helping you to recover fast, fully, and beautifully, without a big scar getting in your way. While no surgeon can magically eliminate scars, the MSK Doctors team can do the next best thing - and make them nearly invisible.
What they do is hide it in your bikini line, so of course it's still there, but no one is going to see it. That's the biggest benefit for many people, but really, it's only a side-benefit if you ask me, because I haven't even told you the best part.
While most folks focus on the scarring - Bikini is so much more. It allows a surgical team to provide a complete hip replacement, without cutting any muscles.
Think about that, it's a big deal. That means after your operation, there's barely any surgical trauma, compared to the "traditional way." As a result, almost all clients can return home within 24 hours after the operation, with minimal blood loss, a faster recovery, and a greatly reduced risk of dislocations or limping.
In fact, your hip will be so much more stable than the old way, that the MSK Doctors team often has people practising standing and walking with crutches, immediately after their operation.
That means you've got more stability, more mobility, and more strength, right from the start - and it also means that you'll be back to your normal routines sooner.
Here's a little blurb I stole from their website, that explains it better: “One of the main advantages of the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is the potential for faster recovery and rehabilitation. Studies have shown that patients who undergo Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) using the DAA may experience less postoperative pain, have shorter hospital stays, and achieve better early outcomes in terms of pain relief and functional recovery.“
Before you go, I want to give you a little bit of advice that you won't find in most of the clinical data... unless you know where to look.
Experience counts, for a lot, particularly with the Bikini technique. In the clinical studies, they found that the more experienced a surgeon was with this specific technique, the better they were able to hide the scarring.
So take my advice, if you're concerned about the scarring - be concerned about the expertise of your surgeon. It's okay to ask if they've done it before, or to just book at MSK Doctors, where I know they specialise in this procedure.
Remember, there's no waiting list, and you never need a referral - so booking is always easy.
You know the number one rule though - don't believe everyone who has a blog on the internet, go find out for yourself.
