How to choose your esthetic surgeon?


Excerpt from Dr. Max Sawaf’s new book “Anti-Aging Made Simple”
Equating the terms plastic and esthetic is one of the most common mistakes made by laymen on this subject. The term plastic in ancient Greek is to shape or mould. Plastic surgery is about reconstruction of the breast after cancer surgery, or treating burn victims or reconnecting a hand that was accidentally amputated in a factory or fixing a congenital anomaly such as a cleft lip or palate and so on. Cosmetic surgeons on the other hand concentrate their training and practice on treating wrinkles, saggy skin, reshaping a nose or liposuction. The right surgeon for you will be the one who has done the procedure you want numerous times on people with features similar to yours and who has successfully gotten the results you are hoping for, it does not matter what degree he or she attained twenty years ago. With the increase in demand for plastic/ cosmetic surgery, a flood of medical doctors and firms have penetrated the field, but this influx has not contributed much to the patients expectations. Therefore, in order to reach out for the right cosmetic surgeon you need to identify the following nine characteristics. The surgeon must:
Be highly skilled in the exact operation you wish to make
Be ethical and should advice when the operation is unnecessary
Update his knowledge and skills with the latest development in the field
Be working in a well equipped hospital under the supervision of a responsible and qualified management
Provide a complete explanation on all details of operation and must elaborate on the different outcomes and suggest alternative treatments
Be qualified to operate in a one day surgery and local anesthesia environment
Be courteous and most of all you should feel well and comfortable with doctor (right chemistry)
Be working in an office or center where they have multiple sub-specialists in cosmetic surgery with each surgeon concentrating on few surgeries (practice makes perfect)
Work in an office or center where staff is knowledgeable and friendly. You can use the above rules to search for a cosmetic surgeon, but in reality, these rules are for any kind of doctor you may choose. Cosmetic surgeons, plastic surgeons, eye surgeons, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialists) and maxillo-facial surgeons and dermatologists have all contributed to the field and no one specialty, interest group, or organization should monopolize the field which belong to the surgeon who spent the time and effort to practice the craft with skill, safety, honesty and loving attention to the wants of the patient needs. Choosing the right surgeon for your cosmetic surgery is not easy. It would be much easier if it were a simple matter of schooling, degrees, and medical specialty, but cosmetic surgery is about on the job training. Beware the use of titles and diplomas as your exclusive guide to choosing the right doctor. It is not the paper- it is the practice! One thing is certain: as the nineteen century cardiologist Herman Nothanagel said, “Only a good person can be a good doctor”. And of course it follows that only a good doctor can be a good cosmetic surgeon. After you’ve told the doctor what bothers you and what you’d like to accomplish, there should be a thorough discussion of what the procedure entails. All information should be given to you in plain English. The basics of all these techniques are not complicated, and you should understand how the procedure you are inquiring about works; how it will work for you personally, how to prepare yourself beforehand, how long the procedure will actually take; hospital stay; when you should expect to see the benefits of surgery, and, most important, the potential risks versus benefits of going ahead. The early phase of the initial encounter forms the basis for “impression management,” a process by which the patient and physician interact in a hopefully positive sense as they get to know each other in a professional but friendly setting. The patient is always thinking “can I trust my face or body to this doctor,” while the surgeon constantly assesses whether or not the patient’s expectations can be met and the ultimate happy outcome achieved. Thus, a two-way verbal and mental assessment occurs between two strangers, augmented by facial expressions, verbal intonation, and body language. Within a matter of minutes, a mutual appraisal of vital significance has occurred, in which each individual’s impression of the other is cemented, confirmed, or doubted. For my part, the elements of interaction must, when summated, result in a simplistic judgment about whether I “like the patient.” If any doubts exist whatsoever regarding this fundamental question of chemistry, further probing assessment is indicated or gentle disengagement is necessary. I rely also on the opinion of my front desk staff and patients’ counselors to alert me to their reaction when small things go wrong such as their reaction to occasional delays in the reception area or change in their appointments and so forth. One must always hold paramount that the majority of patients seeking cosmetic surgery are ”well” patients who seek to be “weller” (happy); the surgeon may be in the inappropriate position to make them sick (unhappy

Cosmetic Surgery Tips

Cosmetic Surgery Tips
Excerpt from Dr. Max Sawaf’s new book “Anti-Aging Made Simple”
Thinking of having a little nip and tuck? Here are some things to think about before surrendering to the surgeon’s scalpel. You can start with a good skin health restoration program using medicated cosmetics that suit your skin under medical supervision instead of buying worthless cosmetics or dreams in a jar. You can use Botox for wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, fat transfer or hyaluronic acid for the fold between the mouth and the cheek, superficial chemical peels to renew the skin and treat pigmentation spots, micro-dermabrasion or non surgical ND: YAG laser facelifts or thermage. How does one go about choosing the right surgeon? It depends on your needs of course but there are a few things I’ve learned during my journey that I would like to share.
It is impossible to hold a medical degree from the University of SukuSuku as SukuSuku is not a country; you should never have to walk through a pest control shop to get to the clinic and avoid places that require a secret knock! Clean, well appointed premises are a good sign and you can tell a lot about the surgeon by his clients and his staff. If the surgeon has a lot of happy people in the lobby consider that a good sign. Once I’ve found the right doctor what then? Be specific about your needs and don’t take no for an answer. Remember, like a housepainter, a plastic surgeon works for you. Just as you wouldn’t let a housepainter say “No, I think it looks good now. I refuse to do any more work as it would be dangerous.” You should not let a surgeon bully you. Make a clear list of what you want. If they cannot deliver, tell them you will get someone else to do it. Bring in a photograph, to show the surgeon exactly the look you desire. Unless you have a knack for drawing, don’t make the Joan Rivers mistake of handing in a sketch on a cocktail napkin. Make sure you are going to get value for your money. Michelle Pfeiffer, Michel Jackson, Lauren Hutton are just three examples of people who were taken for thousands of dollars yet have very little to show for it. If the only comments you get after you’ve invested thousands are “My God, you look rested” or “did you get your hair cut?” then you have not received your money’s worth. Would you spend $50,000 on a tune-up for your old car? No, you would get a brand new one. The same thing applies here. How much should I pay? Most good plastic surgeons and plastic surgery centers are more expensive than someone who is not as experienced. When a surgeon is slow because he is not experienced or not as good, he would be willing to pay money for the patient to do the operation to gain experience! Beware of surgeons and centers offering services much cheaper than the going rates in your community. On the other hand, not every expensive surgeon is a good surgeon. Unfortunately, I get too many patients who call my Centers asking do you do gastric bands or nose reshaping surgery, and when we say yes their next question is “how much does it cost”. While this is an important question, it should not be the first consideration. Cheapest can turn out to be very expensive. We are talking about your most precious asset, your face, your body and your health. How safe are the most common procedures? All surgeries carry some risk of infection and the risk of anesthesia. I minimize both by performing all of our surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tuck, facelifts and breast augmentation using local anesthesia with enough intravenous sedation so that the patients do not feel, hear or see anything. This technique is in contrast to general anesthesia where the patient’s breathing is paralyzed and is totally dependant on the anesthesiologist’s attention and skills. We generally only use general anesthesia for few operations such as breast reduction, certain nose surgeries and gastric band surgery. By far the most common complication and even death have been reported with liposuction done under general anesthesia. There has never been a single major complication when liposuction was done under local anesthesia. According to the statistics released by the Florida board of medicine, office based cosmetic surgery procedures carry ten times the risks of death than procedures done in a same day surgery center with proper back up of an anesthesiologist. The Florida Board is even considering banning liposuction under general anesthesia. Another safety measure we follow is to refuse to do certain procedures such as tummy tuck, facelifts and breast lifts on smokers because the risk of skin sloughing and infection is greater. To minimize the risks of infections we operate in a surgical hospital. How should you choose the right hospital for your cosmetic surgery? The community hospital is the department store of healthcare, the jack of all trades. But it is a model with limitations, the limitations of the generalist. In the complex world of healthcare delivery, it is impossible for the generalist to be superior in every aspect. In the delivery of surgical services, for example, a traditional role for general hospitals, the specialist argument is a compelling one. Emirates Hospital in Dubai, where all CosmeSurge operations are performed, does not admit patients for chronic illnesses, renal dialysis, cancer radiation therapy, brain surgery, open heart surgery, deliver babies or treat victims of car accidents or those who need prolonged rehabilitation. These conditions are best served at a general hospital. This separation allows for the Emirates Hospital, a surgical hospital, to focus on elective surgery performed on otherwise healthy patients thereby having less infections and faster recovery in a friendly atmosphere. Specialty surgical hospitals have lower rates of nosocomial infection, infections that originate or occur in a hospital setting. They are usually very hard to treat as they are resistant to antibiotics. According to a December 2002 report from the Centers for Disease Control, the national rate in traditional general hospitals is 5.7 percent. The nosocomial infection rate is approximately two-tenths of one percent in specialty surgical hospitals. A major reason for the lower rate of infection is that specialty surgical hospitals focus on elective and pre-planned surgeries. Infection rates in specialty surgical hospitals are lower because they don’t perform surgery on “someone who is throwing up or bleeding or presenting with possible infectious conditions. I think that the otherwise healthy patient needs a place to go where nosocomial infection rates are less than 1 percent instead of 5 percent or more.” What are the most common side effects? The most common side effect is bruising and swelling and pain after surgery, all of which are minimized by through the use of local anesthesia as it constricts blood vessel and lessens intra-operative bleeding. How major are the operations? It is often believed that aesthetic plastic operations fall under minor surgery. It is assumed that face lifting, for example, merely involves excising a bit of skin and then it is all over. This is basically true- but a carefully performed face lift takes a few hours and if not done right can end up with facial paralysis form nerve damage, bad looking scars or pulled down ear due to excessive skin resection. The surgeries that require the most skills by the surgeon are nose reshaping, facelifts, lower eyelid surgery, deep chemical peels and breast reduction. Even though the trend in plastic surgery is toward outpatient operations, many operations are still carried out on an inpatient basis. However, the hospital stay is becoming increasingly shorter. Is it all just magic? Aesthetic plastic surgery is commonly glorified as being “magic.” This prejudice must be rejected categorically. As in all other fields of surgery, fundamental surgical principles also apply here and failure to observe them has consequences which would become immediately apparent to everyone. Will there be scars? As yet there is still no magic wand to produce surgery without scars. We take every care to place our incisions where they are not easily visible, for example in concealed sites of the body wherever possible. Fine suture material and special suturing techniques usually result in the scars being very inconspicuous. Although existing scars can be considerably improved, they cannot be entirely removed. One in a hundred patients may get excessive scarring (Keloid) which can be hard to treat. Keloids are more common in black skin. Is aesthetic surgery just for women? Due to the higher proportional of trauma cases, men are more often the patients in general plastic surgery, while in aesthetic plastic surgery on the other hand the percentage of women is much higher. Recently, however, the number of male patients in the latter category is rapidly growing. Is it “luxury medicine”? Aesthetic plastic surgery is very often described as luxury medicine and we are accused of operating only on those from the upper class and prominent people. This is simply not true. The majority of our patients are people like you and me, sometimes having to struggle hard to save the money or take out a loan in order to fulfill their heartfelt desire. And in each case the operation is carried out absolutely identically, regardless of whether a prima Donna or a housewife is lying on the operating table. Surgeons will always do their best for every patient who places trust in them. Are there any age limits? The subject of age limits for aesthetic operations is brought up time and again. The earliest aesthetic operations are already performed for prominent ears at the age of 5-6 years. Here surgeons hold different views as to whether the child itself should want the correction done or whether the parents’ desire is enough. Each person is unique and for this reason the question concerning the upper age limit should be answered individually. The precondition is always a generally good state of health. Should you believe everything the adverts say? This question is important since various private clinics have started calling themselves institutes, academy or use the word international. Doctors have at times been advertising using before and after photos that are not even theirs or are exceptional results that they cannot consistently duplicate. Sensational newspaper articles centered on a doctor with a cult-like status and creating the impression that everything seems possible and easy should be taken with a pinch of salt. My answer to this question is a clear “No.” Should the surgeon conduct a personal consultation with prospective patients before they undergo surgery? Do I ever recommend that surgery is not the right option? If so, when would this be the case? We have several full time plastic surgeons that see every patient before surgery. We evaluate every patient to assess their expectations. Unless their expectations are realistic and their underlying problem can be significantly improved with surgery, I do turn them down. The most common complication in cosmetic surgery in the USA is unmet patients’ expectations (10%). In other countries it is even higher because patients are less educated about their options and about how to select the best surgeon or Center for their particular need and because patients are too embarrassed to complain to authorities or seek legal help regarding a bad outcome when it comes to breast surgery for example. Any post-surgery tips? You might be well advised during your convalescence to have a lot of good reading material and avoid looking in the mirror. It is very common to feel a bit depressed or scared during the first week of recovery. Should this get out of control call our center and we will hook you up with a patient of ours who had the same experience but was very happy few weeks later. Keep in mind that women are very jealous creatures. They will more than likely resent your transformation if they can’t afford to do it themselves. My advice in this instance is to consider the source and do your best to rise above their pettiness. If it all gets too much for you always remember: nothing gives you a lift like a bit of Botox

Plastic Surgery - Buttock Augmentation

Plastic Surgery Not everyone is happy with their bum, some of us want bigger bums and others want tighter, pert little numbers. For many of us who have tried and failed to get our desired posterior, there is hope. Because bums are particularly reluctant to improve with exercise, cosmetically enhancing buttocks has become more popular. Dr. Max Sawaf of Cosmesurge explains why people have buttock augmentation and what is involved in the procedure. “For those people with persistently flat buttocks there is a way to achieve perfect shape and increase of volume,” he told Women’s Health & Fitness. “When done by experienced surgeons, results are optimal, achieving long-term beauty, no visible scars and no stitches to be removed.” “On the other hand, micro fat grafting and lipo-injection are mostly recommended for those who already have a fairly considerable buttocks volume but need shaping and firming.” The buttock surgery lasts two hours and it is performed under general anesthesia or epidural and sedation depending upon the patient’s preference and medical criteria. The recovery period is comfortable but long, requiring one night in the hospital. However, for three weeks after the procedure, you should sleep on your tummy or side and can walk normally but should avoid sitting. It usually takes 20 to 30 days to get back to normal activities and strenuous activity should be avoided during the first month for proper healing. Dr Sawaf explains that there are two types of implants that can be used in buttock enlargement: solid and cohesive. The first type is made out of a very dense silicone but it’s rarely used because it is uncomfortable and doesn’t give a great result. “I recommend the cohesive ones, which is a lighter silicone type of gel, with a natural adjusting capacity, that remains very strong and resistant.” “Choosing the correct buttock implant size to be used is a very important aspect to be considered.” “Going after a huge butt just for the sake of a particular fantasy may lead to unnecessary rejection of the implants.” The implants may be placed through the muscle where they can look, act and feel natural. However, it is important to stress that choosing the right surgeon is essential. Surgeons who do not have adequate training can wrongly position the implant

How To Get Laser Hair Removal Information

Laser hair removal gained most popularity from 1997 when it was approved to be a safe method to remove hair. However, its practice had started 20 years earlier but, with no guarantee of safety and effectiveness. Laser removal of hair marked a totally new chapter from the way people did it. Traditional methods are still widely used but, the laser is very popular in developed countries. Unwanted hair is usually removed from various parts of the body and they include face, chin, abdomen, chest, toes, hands, bikini lines and so many other parts. The laser rays work by detecting the melanin which is present in skin naturally. The success of hair laser removal depends on the individual and this might also depend on the type of laser that is being used on you.

This business has attracted people who are not qualified to undertake the treatments due to the many promising prospects. There are places where you can go to get professional laser hair removal and it depends on how well you do your research on the facility. The removal of hair using this method takes several sessions depending on the kind of laser that is being used. The treatment can help clear other conditions like pseudofolliculitis barbae which is the growth of hair inside the skin. It is often also referred to as shaving bumps. Another condition that laser has been seen to be helpful in is pilonidal cysts. It is expensive to get laser hair removal in most developing countries but, in the richer countries, it is fairly affordable depending on the scale you want it removed in.

The internet is a good place to get laser hair removal information. You will get to see the most commonly asked questions and they include whether hair removal by laser hurts. Specialists say that you will experience something they refer to as a sensation as the laser energy gets absorbed in your skin producing heat. Also some parts will hurt more than others and the darker the skin and hair, the more you will experience the sensation. This is because more heat will be produced. The other question which is commonly asked is whether laser hair removal causes scaring. Before the procedure, you need to read carefully your consent form and you will see that it is possible for the procedure to cause scarring. Chances of this are minimal and they will be caused by several factors.

The factors include the competence of the person performing the procedure on you. The type of laser used is also factored in if the scarring occurs. Your ability to heal and the quantity of melanin you have in your skin will also play a major role. After the procedure, there might be discoloration of the skin which can either be lighter or darker. This condition is however temporary and in rear cases, it could be permanent. The cost will depend on the number of times you have a procedure done and, the number of times will depend on how successful your treatment is from the beginning

Laser Hair Removal - What You Need To Know

Why is laser hair removal more effective than waxing or shaving?Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking and waxing, provide only temporary results। Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons who suffer from diabetes, varicose veins or have poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infectionLaser Hair removal safely removes unwanted hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. The laser emits a beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicles where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat. This destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The laser beam can not penetrate past dermis (second layer of skin). This laser beam is unable to reach any internal organs so it is completely safe.After a series of treatments the follicles become sterile which prevents the reproduction of further hair growth.Hair will grow back lighter and finer with each treatment. Skin will remain smooth and hair free for up to 6 week between treatments.It takes anywhere between 6 to 8 treatments to achieve up to 90% hair loss. 2-3 Maintenance visits a year is recommended. Laser hair removal is much more effective solution.What problems do some people experience from shaving, that they wouldn’t with laser hair removal?Some of the most common drawbacks of waxing are ingrown hairs, infections, red bumps, and minor bleeding.Hair that has been cut by a razor looks thicker because it has been cut at a sharp angle. For the same reason it feels stubbly as the hair starts to grow back. The stubble can make the hair seem thicker. Because a shaved hair has a blunt end, and because hair is often darker near the root, there is a common belief that shaving causes hair to grow back thicker, faster and more noticeable. Regrowth usually occurs within 2-3 days.There are other drawbacks, such as red shaving bumps. These often occur because there are oil glands attached to nerve endings, which are easily irritated.Razor Burn, this can occur when you’re pressing too hard or if you shave with a blunt blade or with a blade that’s been left open allowing bacteria to inlay.Why you won’t get ingrowns from laser hair removal (and why laser treatment help treat folliculitis a condition commonly known as ingrown hairs).Ingrown hairs usually resemble acne and are distinguished by raised, red bumps which can occasionally flare-up, or whiteheads. As the hair grows under the skin, it blocks the pore and allows bacteria to breed, therefore creating a pimple.Laser passes through the skin to the hair follicle, where the follicle absorbs the heat destroying the hair and any bacteria. Lasers are successfully used to target specific structures within the skin, without causing damage to surrounding tissue. This provides gentle, non-invasive and long-lasting results.Why is the skin smoother from laser hair removal?Processes such as waxing, plucking, tweezing, or close shaving routinely can cause Folliculitis (skin condition in which there are inflamed hair follicles). This condition results in a tender red spot, often with an angry surface pimple. Using Laser on the infected area will help the healing process and kill the bacteria in the follicle. . It is common practice for doctors to recommend laser treatment. It’s the only medical way to treat ingrown hairs.Laser hair removal actually destroys the hair at the root, and over time will eliminate all hair growth in the area treated leaving your skin silky smooth, no ingrowns, no scaring, no marking. It takes several treatments which are every 6 weeks, please be patient because the end result is worth it.Remember to never pick at an ingrown hair as you will cause more infection and that could become quite serious.How effective is Laser on larger parts of the body? (legs, arms) Laser hair removal is a technique that makes it possible to rapidly treat a very large area of the body all within the one session and gradually deteriorating the hair.Areas such as arms and legs are quickest to respond to the treatment. Winter is the best time of the year to start laser treatment on large areas (minimum sun exposure). So by summer you can be free of unwanted hair and those painful ingrowns.Can laser hair removal treat birthmarks/lesions?Melanin is what gives our skin and hair its color. Pigmented lesions are dark in colour simply because melanin is abnormally concentrated in one area of the skin. High concentrations of melanin can be due to various factors. Some types are present at birth, but most occur with age or as a result of overexposure to the sun.Not all birthmarks/lesions can be treated by laser however some will achieve excellent results.You will need a consultation. Your therapist will examine the area that you are wanting to treat and provide you with an assessment and the expected success of the treatment.I have a hormonal problem. Would laser work for me?Females who are experiencing PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) may experience slower results unless they receive medical support along with the laser treatment. However after 4-6 treatments they will notice dramatic reduction. Your hair will grow slower and much finer.These female clients can achieve excellent results over the entire body, but to remain hair free on the face, “touchup” treatments are required every three (3) to six (6) months throughout life.Why is it a great option for men?Laser hair removal can certainly be beneficial for men. Unwanted back hair, thick or excessive chest hair can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. More and more men with excessive hair feel self-conscious in today’s “beach culture” and therefore search for more effective and longer lasting hair removal solutions. There are many solutions that are available on the market today. However, Tweezing or waxing can be impractical and often results in unattractive breakouts or infections. Shaving leads to the quick reappearance of stubble. Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly more popular. The treatment is simple and effective offering long term results.Men who dislike shaving can also benefit from laser facial hair removal. In addition to eliminating the need to shave every day it will also prevent irritation and the development of folliculitis, in which one or more hair follicles become inflamed.We recommend at least 6-8 treatments, 6 weeks apart for a significant reduction, providing you are committed to your treatment every 6 weeks. However, if you wish to achieve up to 80% hair loss, you may require up to 12-15 treatments due to the higher levels of testosterone in the body.Choose Genuine Laser To achieve best results be sure to choose genuine Laser for hair removal. GentleLASE delivers a laser beam on a specific wavelength. The energy that is used is much more effective and safer in destroying the hair follicle.IPL/ SPL(Pulse Light Systems) machines deliver a wide range of wavelengths and have a higher risk in damaging skin at higher energy levels. These wavelengths only operate at a superficial depth

Genital Hair Removal

Genital hair removal too known pubic hair removal. Pubic hair is hair in the head-on genital region, the genitalia, and sometimes at the side of the interior of the legs. Pubic sliver has not simply get trendy, but is now an issue of private hygiene. Pubic hair removal by manner of shaving frequently leads to razor bumps and ingrown hairs, which are still more unappealing than the hair was, not to cite traumatic. Pubic hair removal is now an issue of worry for both men and women. Shaving their pubic areas merely to avert transmitted diseases. Pubic hair is thus region of the androgenic hair. Many individuals select to withdraw unwelcome system hair in the pubic region, hence, the hunt for the better pubic hair removal method. Waxing is the better pubic hair removal handling method of selection for most. It is cheap, it can be done from house, and the results last for some weeks in many cases. Waxing is not a lasting hair removal handling. With this procedure, the hairs are merely pulled out of the hair shafts.
