Are you planning to have a cosmetic surgery?-Choose the right Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Now that the public are becoming more interested in enhancing their physical features through cosmetic surgery, more doctors and even non doctors do and offer cosmetic services to unsuspecting clients. Deciding to have a particular cosmetic procedure done is a major decision but choosing the right surgeon is the most important decision you have to make. We encourage you to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon. Since any licensed physicians perform cosmetic surgery in the Philippines without legal impediment. Cosmetic surgery is very fulfilling for both the patient and Plastic Surgeon when it is done in a manner that is safe, sound, and realistic.

Give time and effort to know your doctor’s academic and training profile. Your surgeon must be able to provide you information of his formal training in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. At present, there are still quite a number of cosmetic surgery procedures that are being performed by non-qualified doctors (physician without adequate formal training in Plastic Aesthetic or Cosmetic Surgery). It takes six to eight years of formal training after medical school to produce a Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon.

With the objective of enhancing your physical appearance, the quality and final outcome of the procedure must be your main priority. Do not scout for the least expensive or the cheapest doctor. Don’t be swayed by marketing hype of some surgeons. Ask your friends and the previous patients about his quality of care. Be skeptical about drugs or prosthetics that are the less expensive or the so called cheaper versions. Take the quality of the drug or material into consideration more than its cost. And lastly make sure that their cosmetic center or clinic is equipped and certified. Needless to say, there are cosmetic operations that are safer when performed in the hospital. Your surgeon must be knowledgeable as to which procedure should be performed at the Out Patient Clinic and procedures that require hospital admission.

To ensure the best results for the surgery you are considering, choose an authentic Cosmetic/Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon with the proper training and experience that is essential for the success of your surgery.

If you had Cosmetic Surgery, then turned into a Celeb - How would the press find out you had surgery?

In some Celeb cosmetic surgery pics, there are some before and after pics, but in some you can hardly even see the surgery done. If you become a Celebrity after you had cosmetic surgery (not becoming a celebs because of the surgery) and in your before and after pics - You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Would the People who gave the Celebs the surgery tell the Press? Bearing in mind that the celeb didn't tell anyone

No they wouldn't. The only way they'd find out is if someone (like a friend of the person) told them. The clinics would never dish this sort of information out as its confidential. Of course, if it was really obvious, the papers could work it out themselves i.e if someone had gone from being a 32AA to a 32G bust size!!!

Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery

CONSUMER HEALTH–>

Sunlight and gravity cause facial aging. Lasers enable safe and predictable resurfacing to smooth facial wrinkles as well as surgery to remove aging tissue from eyelids while minimizing bruising. Lasers can also eliminate excess blood vessels and unwanted hair, and erase tattoos without scarring.

Laser surgery must be performed with great precision and care. Ideally, it should provide satisfactory improvement of one’s appearance and do so with no adverse side effects. It is a complement to such non-laser surgeries as face-lift.

“Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery” spells out the technology of the laser and its suitability for many cosmetic surgeries. Included in the discussions are the physiology of the skin, the basics of the surgical procedure, the preparation for surgery, a pointing out of risks, and an advisory on the postoperative recovery. This information is presented in clear, jargon-free language that explains how a laser procedure is accomplished without affecting the surrounding skin.

A comprehensive overview that keeps the patient’s perspective in mind, “Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery” is for the general reader and for those considering this elective surgical procedure.

This useful, enlightening book written by a practicing professional answers questions patients ask and lets them know what to expect from surgery.

Robert Langdon, a private-practice dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon in Guilford, Connecticut, is a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the Yale University School of Medicine.

Important Differences Between Cosmetic Surgery and Plastic Surgery

Although the majority of people use the terms “cosmetic surgery” and “plastic surgery” interchangeably, they refer to very different techniques, procedures and practices.

Cosmetic surgery normally refers to procedures that are used to improve or change the appearance of a nose, eyes, eyebrows or other facial features, including the teeth (cosmetic dentistry). It is always an elective surgery since it is not medically indicated for improving a patient’s physical well-being.

The motivation for much cosmetic surgery is often self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery can help people remove or change a certain physical feature that, as a result, makes them happier with their appearance and enhances their self-confidence, as well.

On the other hand, plastic (or “reconstructive”) surgery may involve the removal of cancerous tissues, or the process of moving or adapting other tissue. Rather than being merely for appearance, as in cosmetic surgery, the goal of plastic surgery is to restore form and function to the affected areas.

Plastic surgery does overlap at times with cosmetic surgery, especially regarding the restoration of normal appearance after massively invasive operations like mastectomies (breast removal). A portion of this particular procedure is plastic surgery, a portion can be considered cosmetic surgery, and there are methods in place to determine, for insurance purposes, how much of each type is involved.

Most people think plastic surgery is the same as cosmetic surgery because of the terminology, but the fact is that plastic surgery did not get its name from “plastic,” the material, but from the Greek word “plastikos.” This word basically means “to mold or shape.” This is why plastic surgery addresses such issues as birth defects, trauma victims and crippling, disfiguring disease.

A baby that is born with a cleft palate needs surgery to correct that condition, and this would be considered plastic or reconstructive surgery. Because the cleft palate can be a serious problem and affect quality of life, it is a medically necessary procedure. Medical necessity is also another important distinction between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery, which is why plastic surgeries aimed at restoring normal functioning are generally covered by insurance. Cosmetic surgeries are not.

Despite the main purpose of plastic surgery being the restoration of normal form and function, there is a fine line between cosmetic and plastic surgery that is often fuzzy. Sometimes a certain surgery may be needed to restore normal functioning, although it also has an aesthetic component and improves appearance.

Cosmetic surgery is best thought of as surgery that has the goal of improving form, appearance and self-esteem. It is a way of altering the shape of a patient’s body for the purpose of making the patient feel better, more emotionally than physically most of the time. Plastic surgery , on the other hand, helps patients to regain functionality, which has positive effects both emotionally and physically.
