How to Select a Qualified Surgeon -

Plastic surgery includes both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Reconstructive surgery is performed to improve physical function or to minimize disfigurement caused by accidents, disease or birth defects.

Cosmetic surgery seeks to reshape a physical feature for the purpose of improving appearance only.

A plastic surgeon, in the true sense of the word, is highly trained in both of these categories though, over time, is likely to find himself specializing in one or the other.

Unfortunately, any licensed medical doctor can hang a sign
advertising “cosmetic surgeon.”

He is often a physician who has received training in one area,
such as ophthalmology (eye) or dermatology (skin), then later
chooses to practice cosmetic surgery.

He may have obtained his training from weekend seminars or
studied briefly under someone, but lacks the proper education,
training and experience necessary to minimize risks and maximize
the likelihood of good results.

With so many doctors now performing cosmetic surgery, it is
important to consider the experience of the surgeon.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery - The reasons for the increased popularity are clear. Much of the growth can be attibuted to greater social acceptance. Consumer magazines and newspapers are flowing with articles.

Millions of men and women just like you have undergone cosmetic surgery and experienced the extraorddinary benefits it has to offer. This year, many more will wage war against age and heredity to straighten a crooked nose, smooth out wrinkles, and firm up sagging breasts.

 

You now see reality TV shows about Cosmetic Surgery. And how many times have you also turned on the television, only to see a movie star or other high -profile figure discussing his or her latest enhancement?

The advancement of the tools, faster recovery times, and even lower costs. Have all helped to increase the popularity of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery.


Is The Surgeon Board Certified

Because board certified is recognized these days as such an important credential, more and more doctors are using them in the Yellow Pages listings and other forms of advertising.

This goes not only for offline advertising which also includes TV but online advertising as well.

Unfortunately, “Board Certified“ doesn’t always mean the same thing.

Learn the difference between the terms or you could wind up in the hands of someone that is poorly qualified.

What You Want…Bottom Line…
You want to select a surgeon who is certified by the “American Board of Plastic Surgery”. Period, end of story!

This is not the same as the ” American Board of Cosmetic Surgery” or any number of other similar boards which, although their name sounds impressive, actually carry very little weight or no merit.

The “American Board of Plastic Surgery” is the only board recognized by the accrediting groups supported by the American Medical Association.

With Your Beauty in Mind,


It’s been said that you can’t miss what you’ve never
had. Clearly, there are those with small breasts who
would argue otherwise.

For some women there is a longing just to find nice-
looking clothes that fit well, not feel embarrassed when
going to the beach, and never again be teased by
classmates or coworkers.

Fortunately, there is a safe, relatively simple operation
that can make a dramatic improvement in the way you look
and feel about yourself.

Breast enlargement can effectively increase the fullness
of your breasts, usually by two or more cup sizes, and
correct the slight drooping that often comes as a result
of pregnancy, fluctuations in weight, gravity and natural
aging.

With a natural-looking, fuller figure comes an increased
sense of femininity and greater self-confidence, especially
in the ability to wear a wider variety of fashionable clothes.

While breast enlargement can improve the size of your breasts,
it cannot alter their overall shape. Women whose breasts sag
significantly or have been distorted by disease may require
more extensive surgery, such as a breast lift or breast
reconstruction.

Furthermore, the procedure may not prevent a gradual loss of
projection in the breasts that can occur naturally as you age.
