The cachet
The cachet for a
successful aesthetic operation is the specialist for plastic surgery. A
specialist who has focused on conducting aesthetic operations for a long
time.
The ideal
surgeon
Aesthetic plastic surgery
marks a quadrangle: Science Psychology Art Handcraft
The following
characteristics assure confidence in a reliable plastic surgeon:
ACCURACY
DEVOTION
EXPERIENCE
EMPATHY
In addition the ideal
surgeon should be blessed with the following features:
Precision fantasy
creative talent scientific interest endurance humour
luck
Be critical.
Risk!
The
highest risk during an operation is the surgeon himself if he lacks
education and experience. The term "beauty surgery" is not a
trademark. According to the German law any doctor can conduct surgery.
Many of them call themselves beauty surgeons but have in fact never had any
systematic surgical education; for example internists, general doctors,
even physicians without any special education. The official admission for
"plastic operations" is awarded by the chamber of physicians; it
is related to the physicians special field. However if a gyneacologist
becomes involved in facelifts or an ENT specialist in breasts and bellies
you quite rightly become suspicious.
Complications
Not even the greatest
authorities on our field can exclude themselves from facing complications.
Profoundly educated and experienced plastic surgeons however will usually
not be confronted with serious complications. If minor complications occur
which is rather exceptional we are trained to react quickly and
with competence.
Your
questions
Please feel free to ask
all these - and more - questions when looking for a reliable plastic
aesthetic surgeon:
How long has the surgeon
conducted these kinds of operations?
How many such operations
has he done?
Does he mainly operate in
aesthetic surgery or is this just his secondary field of work?
Can he show you pictures
taken after a successful operation? An experienced surgeon has a large
number of them.
In which field did the
surgeon specialise? Does he have a diploma?
Your
decision
Choosing the right surgeon
is your most important contribution to a successful operation. If you have
any doubts about a doctor even if he was recommended to you do not
hesitate to talk to two or three other surgeons as well. This will cost
you another one or two additional medical bills. It might however spare
you a in many ways much more expensive - "repair-operation"
if the first one fails.
