Usually anaplasty produces a positive outcome but there isnt always a pleasant ending. In place of making people beautiful, the surgery sometimes end up leaving them scarred and distorted.
Apart from this, the reconstructive operations sometimes may cause 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 choose to have it done. To clear your doubts related to the surgery you can ask your surgeon some questions such as;
Will you perform the complete method yourself?
The only person you should talk to about your surgery is the surgeon wholl be doing your operation, ask him to tell you about the dangers of plastic surgery. If youre talking with a nurse or a consultant, ask to speak to the surgeon. If they say you cant do so, leave without any delay. Its absolutely essential to consult your surgeon before your operation.
You should also make one thing clear that the same surgeon with whom you have talked will do the whole process and will not leave anything on their assistants.
What is your qualification?
This is the normal question and the surgeons have no problem in answering it. And according to consultant cosmetic surgeon Mr. Jag Chana from Sanctuary Cosmetic Surgeons, the right answer to this question is a qualification called an FRCS (Plast). This means they are a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and have specific training in plastic surgery, says Mr. Chana. Its also recommended that theyre a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
Which type of process do you suggest?
Always remember that you are a patient and you have to trust your surgeon, also ask about male plastic surgery .In many cases, the patient givesccertain advices to the surgeon about what procedure is needed but at last you have to go with the surgeons aspect as he has more acquaintance than you.
It may happens that different surgeons may give different suggestions but you should go with that doctor who shows interest more in your health rather than bill.
How many procedures of my type have you done?
Experts opinion about this question is that the surgeon should have an experience of doing not less than 30 to 40 operations similar to that you have choosen for. Interrogations about the practicing period can also be made before going for surgery.
Do you have expertise in this process?
This is yet another important question which can be asked. A surgeon who is a specialist is always preferred than the general surgeon.
This expertise becomes more important in cases of cosmetic surgeries and other facial work. But as far as body surgery is concerned this doesnt make much difference.
Can I see before and after photos?
For better understanding you can also request the surgeon for some before and after photographs. 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 operation. So we suggest you not to trust them blindly.
A close inspection of the end results of operation, clinic staff and other arrangements might also help you in making a right selection.
Who will give the anesthetic and how long have you worked with them?
Asking this question becomes important as it is connected with the recovery time. A long working relationship of the anaesthetist with the surgeon helps him in adjusting the anaesthetic accordingly.
This helps in reducing post operative illness problem and thereby renders fast and easy recovery.
What about plastic surgery costs?
Search in advance what the process and posr- operative care will cost and insist on looking at a plastic surgery picture. If your operation is going to be performed in a hospital remember that in addition to your doctor's fee, there will be a charge for use of the facility and the services of the anesthesiologist. The prices may also step up in cases where the patients requests to reverse or modify the results of the operation.
Do you have any questions for me?
Celebrities and plastic surgery
It is equally essential that your surgeon should ask you some basic question concerning your habits, your medical history etc. These kind of questions help him in determining what procedure will suit you better. If the surgeon is not candidly discussing with you about the risks and consequences of the surgery, ask him the reason for doing so?
Do I confidence in my surgeon?
This is a question you should ask to yourself and perhaps the most important than the abovementioned questions. You should have confidence in him both as a doctor and as a person. This will help you from the starting of the surgery to the recovery point.
