Anaplasties are the popular ways of personal as well as personality betterment but theses surgeries sometimes goes wrong Rather than making people beautiful, the surgery sometimes end up leaving them scarred and distorted.
Apart from this, the cosmetic operations sometimes may create aesthetic disaster like wind tunnel facelift and lopsided boobs. Thus in plastic surgery, unless there is an irresistible prevalence of the reward over the risks, the person should not opt to have it done. To clear your doubts related to the surgery you can ask your doctor some questions such as;
Are you the person wholl really be wielding the scalpel?
To get full and fair information you should have direct communication with your surgeon because only he can give you such type of information and he should also touch on the dangers of plastic surgery. Unless you have direct discussion with him, dont go for the surgery.
Once you know youre talking to the surgeon, its also important to ask if theyll be doing everything in the procedure, say plastic surgery consultant Shannon Porter Leeman. Some doctors sill do the opening incisions, the pulling and the tugging and then let a junior stitch you up, which could affect scarring.
What is your qualification?
This is the normal question and usually the doctors have no problem in replying it. According to Mr. Jag Chana the doctor must possess the qualification called an FRCS (Plast) and must get the plus points if he is also a member of BAAPS.
What will be the right procedure in your opinion?
Dont forget that you are a patient and you have to believe your surgeon, also ask about male plastic surgery .In many cases, the patient givesccertain advices to the surgeon about what procedure is needed but finally you have to agree with the surgeons aspect as he has more experience than you.
According to a famous cosmetic surgeon Mr. Jan Stanek each surgeon has different answer to this question but you should prefer that view which you find more in your interest.
How much experience do you have?
Experts view about this question is that the surgeon should have an experience of doing not less than 30 to 40 operations alike to that you have choosen for. Questions about the practicing period can also be asked before going for surgery.
What is your area of expertise and what training do you have in the specific plastic surgery procedure I want?
Your surgeon may be general or a specialist in the particular field of plastic surgery and it will be beneficial for you to go with an expert.
This expertise becomes more important in cases of cosmetic surgeries and other facial work. But for body surgery this doesnt make much difference.
Do you have some before and after photos?
It will be beneficial for you to see what the doctor is going to do for your and viewing photos may be better than asking to speak to a patient. There are some clinics which pay some amount to their former patients for discussing with the potential patients only about the plus points of the procedure. So we advice you not to trust them blindly.
Also, dont miss out on another clue as to what your surgeons end results look like. Look at the receptionist, nurses and other staff in the clinic, says Shannon Porter Leeman. Theyll often have had work done themselves. And if you can somehow see the surgeons wife, then even better!
Who will administer the anesthetic and how long have you worked with them?
This question becomes necessary since it is connected with the recovery time. A long working relationship of the anesthetist with the surgeon helps him in adjusting the anaesthetic accordingly.
This can minimize postoperative sickness (which may exasperate bruising) and make you feel comfortable throughout your recovery.
What about plastic surgery costs?
Though cost is a main factor your selection should not be determined purely on price and you need to examine a plastic surgery picture as well. You need to consider the choice of surgeon, clinic reputation, track record, after care and other factors. The cost may also increase in cases where the patients wants to undo or modify the effects of the surgery.
Do you want to know anything about my medical history?
Celebrities and plastic surgery
It is also very important that your surgeon should ask you certain basic question concerning your lifestyle, your medical history etc. These kind of questions help him in deciding what process will be best suited for you. A surgeon must talk with you about the risks, effects, side effects and other things connected with surgery frankly and if he fails to do so you should ask him the reason behind it.
Do I have faith in my plastic surgeon?
According to Mr. Stanek this is the most important question. Having faith in your surgeon is the most important factor in all type of surgeries especially in the case of cosmetic surgeries. Unless you have faith in him dont be ready for the operation.
