What is Safe Plastic Surgery?

What is Safe Plastic Surgery?

The popularity of plastic surgery in Los Angeles is increasing. As a plastic surgeon, I am frequently asked by my patients whether plastic surgery is 100 % safe.

No plastic surgeon or any other type of surgeon can guarantee 100% safety. Many things that we do in life carry a possible risk of complications. For example, there is a risk of injury when driving cars, flying on airplanes, skiing etc. However, there are effective ways to minimize the risk of plastic surgery complications.

First of all, it is important to know that your plastic surgeon is a true plastic surgeon. Not every surgeon who performs plastic surgery completed a plastic surgery residency. Your plastic surgeon should perform the procedure you desire on at least a weekly basis. You surgeon should be willing to show you before and after plastic surgery pictures of his patients. The more plastic surgery pictures you can see the better. You should have an opportunity to talk to other patients of your surgeon.

Where you surgeon performs plastic surgery is a very important safety factor. Of course, having surgery in a hospital provides the safest possible environment. For this reason, I perform most of my surgeries at the hospital where my office is located. In addition, many of our plastic surgery patients have an opportunity to spend the night after surgery in the hospital. This is a particularly good option for patient who live further away or undergo combined surgical procedures. These patients typically stay in a private room where they are cared for by experience nurses. The next day I visit my patients in their room before they are discharged home. Many Los angeles plastic surgeons perform surgery at surgical centers. Surgical centers that have proper state or national accreditation also provide safe environment to perform outpatient plastic surgery.

It is important to assure that patients do not have any serious medical conditions prior to undergoing plastic surgery. In my practice, any patient who is over 45 years of age or has medical problems will need to be evaluated by a primary care physician or a cardiologist prior to surgery. My goal is to provide every patient with a plastic surgery procedure that is effective and safe.

    There is certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. I don't think it's necessary to go around broadcasting it to people who don't ask, howver if someone comments about how great you look and asks what's up, simply smile and tell them what's up. Nothing at all wrong with that. If you try to keep it a secret, it appears that there's something wrong with what you did. (There is not anything wrong with what you did.)

    I have never had plastic surgery, but to those who feel they need it (for whatever reason), I say, go for it. …rock on, Mama!

    I think it depends on how much you see your family and friends. If it would be unusual for you to 'disappear' for a few days while you healed up, then it may be harder to keep it a secret. However, if you could stay home and that would be normal, then I bet it would be easy.

    If you are not a minor (i.e. over 18), then the doctor does have to keep it confidential, as long as there are no medical complications (and that's rare).

    However, I'm never that 'for' anyone hiding things from their family and friends. If it's something you would be really ashamed to have them know about, then perhaps you should rethink this.

    After college, you apply to med school. That's 8 years of college total. No one can afford med school; that's what loans are for. After med school, you apply to residency programs in surgery (that's 5 years, and then after that you apply for fellowship programs in plastic surgery, can be up to another 5 years). Residencies are practical experience; you'll apply to a number of programs, interview at a few, and be matched by a computer program to one of them.

    The amount that are botched would first depend on the type of plastic surgery you want. Different doctors have different specialties, and you'd want one who is an expert in his or her field. The American Board of Plastic Surgeons is one of the offical boards for the field, and there are lists of reputable doctors. Here is their site: http://www.abplsurg.org/. There is also the American Society of Plastic Surgeons at http://www.plasticsurgery.org/. Make sure your plastic surgeon is at least listed with one of these organizations. You should also first check the Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org.

    Any time you're placed under general anesthesia, there is danger involved, but most plastic surgery is low-risk, so there is a very good chance that it will go over without a hitch. You must first be evaluated that you are a good candidate for surgery. If you have any medical problems, be sure to tell your doctor. He or she really must know anything that might be prohibitive to surgery.

    Make sure that you not only trust your doctor is reputable, but that you have a good relationship with the doctor. If you feel uncomfortable; don't do it. There are other doctors who can make you feel confident in their abilities.

    I don't know what your shape is, or what you intend to do, but they can't (or, at least shouldn't) work "miracles." For example, if you are obese, liposuction would not be the right treatment for you. It is meant to sculpt in areas prone to excess fat in people within about 30% of their ideal weight; not cause drastic weight loss. Most plastic surgeons would not perform this type of surgery.

    Even if the surgery goes exactly as planned, there WILL be pain during the recovery process. This will vary depending on your procedure, but the area where you have the surgery may be tender for several months.

    Most importantly, plastic surgery can NOT sure a depressing life. A surgeon will tell you that you must have REALISTIC goals for your outcome, and a cure for depression is not one of them. You really have to reconstruct yourself from the inside out. If you're having overwhelming depression, please see a doctor or therapist about that first.

    when a reality show is really interested in a person they are the ones who actually suggest the plastic surgery and pay for it as long as that person signs a contract to do a certain amount of shows.
