Plastic Surgery: Things To Do Before Going Under the Knife

Description:

Plastic surgery is an essential procedure, undertaken by highly qualified surgeons to repair damages to skin and tissue that may have resulted from congenital diseases or injuries. As this type of surgery is used to repair damage, aesthetics aren’t the primary consideration. Naturally, every measure will be taken by surgeons to ensure that appearance is taken into account. However, the main objective of plastic surgery is in returning the skin or tissue to a normal state, rather than looking to improve, reshape or re-mould it in any way. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: Plastic Surgery: Things To Do Before Going Under the Knife


1
Plastic Surgery Things To Do Before Going Under
the Knife
2
Use the Internet as a Research Tool
  • The internet can be a very powerful tool in your
    search for the best plastic surgeon for you,
    since almost every plastic surgeon has a website.
    Its great if you have a friend that gives you a
    referral, but its still important to do your own
    research.

3
Review the Photos in the Surgeon's Gallery
  • You should be able to view a wide variety of case
    examples the surgeon has performed to get an idea
    of their skill level, what their area of
    subspecialty is, and their aesthetic style. If
    you dont generally like a surgeons results, you
    should look at someone else. Do keep in mind that
    surgical outcomes are also dependent on where a
    patient started, so patients with more favorable
    anatomy before surgery often get better results
    after surgery.

4
Make Sure Your Doctor is a Member of an Esteemed
Medical Society
  • Knowing your plastic surgeon is a member of the
    American Society Of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and
    the American Society For Aesthetic Plastic
    Surgery (ASAPS) shows another level of
    professional and peer recognition, and ensures
    that your surgeon is considered ethical and
    qualified to do your surgery.

5
Make Sure Your Doctor is Board Certified
  • The most important first step is to make sure
    that your surgeon is certified by the American
    Board Of Plastic Surgery. This is the only board
    recognized by the American Board Of Medical
    Specialties (ABMS) and shows that the surgeon had
    proper training in plastic surgery and has passed
    a rigorous set of exams to demonstrate that they
    are well trained and safe. 

6
Review Your Surgeon's Resume
  • This should be on their website and will show
    which schools they attended, awards they have
    received, academic contributions they have made,
    and which hospitals have given them privileges.
    Even though most surgeons perform aesthetic
    plastic surgery in an outpatient setting, every
    board certified plastic surgeon is also required
    to have hospital privileges.

7
Maximize your Chances for Success
  • Complications can occur with any surgery, but
    there are things that you can do to ease the
    process. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle
    are paramount in your recovery process. If you
    are overdue for a checkup by your primary care
    doctor, go for a general health check
    before plastic surgery. Make sure you are not
    smoking cigarettes or using recreational drugs
    for at least 4-6 weeks before and after surgery. 

8
Be Honest and Reasonable
  • Once you have found the right surgeon for you,
    make sure you express what you are looking for in
    detail, and make sure you and your surgeon are on
    the same page. "Sometimes patients have
    unrealistic expectations for what they want, and
    it is the surgeons job to help align the
    patients expectations with what is realistically
    possible. Be careful of a surgeon that glosses
    over possible issues or complications. 

9
Maintain Communication With Your Surgeon
  • If you have a concern or issue after plastic
    surgery, call your surgeons office and let them
    know. "Getting phone calls from patients is part
    of our job, and knowing if something is not quite
    right can help us correct things as efficiently
    as possible," Cohen states. "
