5 Questions to Consider When Getting a Face Lift

1. What kind of training and experience does my doctor have?

Simply because someone is a medical doctor or “cosmetic surgeon” does not mean they are properly trained or qualified to perform complex procedures such as facelifts or rhinoplasty. To ensure your safety and the quality of your results make sure you get a doctor who has received the necessary specialized training and certification in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Choosing a Boca Raton Plastic Surgeon

Why Board Certifications Make All the Difference in the World

When considering plastic surgery, the most difficult decision you will face is determining which doctor in the multitude of Boca Raton plastic surgeons to have perform the procedure. After all, this is not a simple haircut. It is important to do your research and find a qualified and experienced surgeon who will leave you comfortable and happy with your results the first time around.  No one wants to undergo any revision surgery if they can help it. However, if you are unsatisfied with your previous surgery results, it is even more imperative to pick the right surgeon this time around.

Boca Raton Plastic Surgeons Rejoice!

Victory for Plastic Surgeons Nationwide in Federal Court Ruling

The dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a group of “cosmetic surgeons” against the Utah Plastic Surgery Society (UPSS), American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and 19 specific plastic surgeons, alleging that their patient-safety advertisements were tantamount to attempting to form a monopoly, has been upheld by the 10^th District U.S. Court of Appeals. Plastic surgeons in Boca Raton and around the country can breathe a little easier knowing that they will not be punished for their efforts to educate the public about safety in surgeries.

Underwire Bras after Breast Surgery

 Breast surgery in my practice varies greatly from augmentations, to reductions, to lifts and reconstructions, as well as a combination of all of these.  All of my surgery patients are seen at least twice in consultation before surgery, to insure that they fully understand everything that will be taking place preoperatively, operatively and postoperatively, and to insure compliance with instructions.    My philosophy  is that a patient who has a global understanding of what is taking place, is one who will be more compliant and is more apt to heal without complications.   

I recommend not wearing an  underwire bra after surgery.  I am not a big fan of underwire bras following breast surgery for the first 6 months.  Whatever the breast surgery, the inframammary fold is affected, and  there are incisions that may be  at the bottom of the breast, which can be irritated by the wire and delay healing. 

Even though  I have instructed patients not to wear an underwire bra immediately after surgery, some patients have ignored this and then complain of the wire hurting their breasts, unlike before the surgery.   I suspect that this is because there is inflammation in this area which then  causes discomfort due to the wire.

Thus,  I advise all of my breast  patients to wear either jogging/athletic bras or support bras which  do not have wires.  Stay comfortable, follow instructions and     do no harm  to your recovering breasts.
