Plastic
surgery is the art of aesthetically enhancing the physical
form. When properly performed, it can dramatically improve one’s
appearance, restoring natural and youthful beauty.
The skilled plastic surgeon can help you achieve the look you’ve
always desired through a combination of sound aesthetic judgement
and surgical expertise that’s taken years to cull. Quality
plastic surgery is "invisible"-it helps you look younger
and more attractive, without appearing obvious or artificial. However,
aesthetic vision and surgical skill vary among surgeons-so
be sure that you are in the hands of a surgeon that
is aesthetically gifted, highly competent and extremely
well experienced.
Follow these four simple-common sense steps when selecting your plastic
surgeon.
#1.First and foremost, listen to the aesthetic judgement
of the surgeon. Does it sound like something that would enhance
your appearance? Proper beauty aesthetics are easy to comprehend
when properly explained. If it sounds reasonable to you, then
proceed to step two. If it doesn’t sound right to you…..get
another opinion. There is simply no substitute for sound aesthetic
judgement!
#2.Ask yourself if the surgeon has the experience
to do what he/she is suggesting. Don’t be afraid to ask
the surgeon-"how many times have you performed this procedure?"
Most important of all-be sure to see real before and after photographs
of patients who have undergone the same procedure. Do not settle
for computer simulations! The computer will not be altering
your looks----the surgeon will! This is extremely important because,
there is no substitute for experience! If you are satisfied,
then proceed to step three-if you are not sure, then get another
opinion!
The
figure above is a statistical representation of ability. Plastic
Surgeon’s talents-like height, weight, I.Q., income and
just about everything in this world can be distributed under a
Bell-Shaped Curve. This is a statistical fact! We believe that

be well positioned under the Bell Shaped Curve!
#3. Once the first two steps have been met, you can
factor in the price. Prior to this you’re not certain
which procedure is right for you-therefore the price should
be irrelevant. Step three is a point where you can be fairly
comfortable with the level of surgical competence and overall
satisfaction, so you may want to compare costs. Minor differences
in costs may reflect such things as, how much of the finishing
stitches does the surgeon do-or does the assistant complete
this portion of the procedure. How well are the incisions
hidden and how often will you have follow-up visits
with the surgeon. There are reasons for price differences-be
sure that you understand exactly what you are/are
not getting! You may opt to pay the higher price for more
personalized care! You can continue on to the fourth and final
step.
#4.
This is more of an intuitive step than the previous three.
Here you may want to factor in variables like the board
certification of the surgeon. Does he/she carry an impressive
reputation in the community or carry a university teaching
affiliation? How do you feel about the surgeon and the office
staff? Follow your gut instincts-----they will serve you well!
