Myths and Reality of Plastic Surgery

in Dalls, Texas

Myth #1: Every surgeon who claims to be a plastic surgeon is a plastic surgeon.

Reality#1: Not true. There are no state laws that forbid physicians with little or no training in plastic surgery to claim to be plastic surgeons. Before you trust your life and looks to someone who claims to be a plastic surgeon, you should engage in extensive research. At the very least, check your plastic surgeon's training, credentials and certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Myth #2: All Plastic Surgeon are created equal.

Reality#2: Not true. Although all plastic surgeons have common core training, there are differences among them. Individual interests and skill levels vary. Cosmetic surgery is in part an art form.

Myth #3: In plastic surgery, it is wise to shop for the lowest price.

Reality#3: No. This can backfire. Safety in surgery has inherent costs. A surgeon who provides a state of the art surgical setting, employs the services of experienced anesthesiologists, and utilizes the latest in drugs for anesthesia will have higher costs of doing business. A "cheap" deal could prove quite costly.

Myth#4: Plastic surgery leaves no scars.

Reality #4: Plastic surgery does leave scars. All incisions heal by scarring. Plastic surgeons are trained to make incisions in strategic locations to minimize the visibility of scars. They can also be minimized when surgery is done endoscopically.
