Pumpkin Carving with Dr. Joanna Ng-Glazier

Since she was little, Joanna Ng-Glazier, MD, FACS — plastic surgeon at Emerson Health Plastic Surgery — has enjoyed Halloween. She loves turning pumpkins into delicious seeds, pies, and especially creative jack-o'-lanterns. Here are some of her best tips to stay safe while carving a pumpkin.

• Be very careful with the tools — even blunt tips can cause injury.
• Be aware of where your tools are facing at all times.
• Use electric candles to prevent fire hazards.

Above all, she encourages everyone to have fun, be creative, and ensure an adult supervises children throughout the carving experience!
