Are you considering a cosmetic surgery procedure in the philippines?
We encourage you to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon. Since any licensed medical doctor or even non doctors do and perform cosmetic surgery in the Philippines, choosing the right person for the procedure you are planning is the most crucial decision that you have make. Any Cosmetic Surgery Procedure could be very fulfilling for both the patient and Plastic Surgeon when it is done in a manner that is safe, sound, and realistic.
Know your doctor. Take note of his credentials, qualification and formal training in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. Too many cosmetic surgeries are done by non-qualified doctors or without adequate formal training in Plastic Aesthetic or Cosmetic Surgery. It takes six to eight years of formal training to transform a physician after medical school into to a Plastic Surgeon. Try to know if he finished formal residency training in Plastic Surgery, and also the institution in which your surgeon finished his training. Since there are only few Medical Institutions that offer a certified training program in Plastic Surgery and accredited by the Philippine Boards of Plastic.
Do not look for the least expensive or newest cosmetic product or procedure that doctors could offer you. Take note or ask your doctor regarding results on clinical study in the use of these product or technique. Don’t be swayed by unrealistic offer without proven safety and quality result. Give importance on your surgeon’s experience, academic and training background. You may inquire to other plastic surgeons, for you to have a second opinion regarding your concerns and ask friends or previous patients regarding your surgeon’s quality of work. Always evaluate your surgeons’ offer in terms of quality and safety rather than its cost. Make sure that the cosmetic center or out patient clinic is equipped and certified, inquire about the appropriateness of the operative setting. But there are cosmetic operations that are safer when performed in the hospital. Your surgeon must be knowledgeable as to which procedure could be done in the out patient clinic or in hospitals with out compromising your safety.
Every aesthetic/cosmetic procedure is a fulfilling and gratifying experience for both the plastic surgeon and patient, if this is done in the light of surgical standards in term of safety. A surgeon can not call himself a plastic surgeon unless he can do both aesthetic/cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Since the very root of almost all cosmetic/aesthetic procedure can be trace from early reconstructive procedure. Thus a plastic surgeon whose main interest is aesthetic plastic surgery, must have a firm foundation on the reconstructive surgery, to better grasp on the basic principle and application of aesthetic surgery.
Aesthetic plastic surgery, though admittedly done on occasion to rehabilitate a particular part of the body, is mainly performed to rehabilitate the entire person. It stands that improvement in a persons appearance, improved a person’s self-image, and this in turn provides a feeling of emotional and physical well- being.
In order for you to attain the best quality results for the procedure you are interested without compromising your safety and health. We advice you to consult your concerns to a Certified Plastic Surgeon with proper qualification and training in the field of Cosmetic/Aesthetic Surgery.
