Unqualified Practitioners Pose a Problem

Information and access to plastic surgeons has never been greater with the internet explosion. Likewise, the potential to be deceived by slick online advertising and fraudulent marketing may lead patients to unqualified practitioners.

When information is so easily accessible and the tools available to self-promote are readily attainable, it becomes a sort of wild west where potential plastic surgery patients could be led astray. Two board certified plastic surgeons discuss in this video how patients can combat misinformation and stray from unqualified practitioners who may be deceiving or even lying about their experience with procedures.

Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that the patients who choose the unqualified practitioner may be doing so to spend less than a legitimate practice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Plastic surgery like most other purchases, must be an informed decision.
• Beyond meeting and talking about a physician’s background, judging a before and after gallery can provide the evidence.
• Unqualified practitioners are perhaps getting into the business to make more and easier money.

“I’m sitting here today with the real deal, two board certified plastic surgeons. But there are providers out there who are not qualified, who are doing procedures and it’s costing people injuries and also costing people their lives.”

The Rhinoplasty Society in Versailles

Established in 1996, The Rhinoplasty Society is the premier organization in the world dedicated to the ongoing education of surgeons interested in nasal surgery.

Through this “fraternity” over 100 of the most respected rhinoplasty surgeons in the world dedicate their efforts and share their innovations to improve the quality of rhinoplasty. Dr. Geoffrey Keyes of Los Angeles, California is the President of the Rhinoplasty Society.

The International Meeting of Rhinoplasty Societies (IMRHIS) in Paris-Versailles, France, took place in September 8-10.

“This joint meeting organized by the societies of the United States and the Europeans promises to be the largest meeting devoted to rhinoplasty in history.

Not only this was a fabulous social experience with our French hosts, but 50 great surgeons demonstrated a wide variety of techniques and new procedures that are sure to refine our collective approaches to the art of rhinoplasty.”

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• A change in the tip of the nose may influence a change in the bridge or radix.
• Cartilage and bone are quite hard and little irregularities can occur over the years.
• Even in the case of a primary rhinoplasty, there are a number of interrelated steps required to achieve facial harmony.

“Aside from the aesthetic pursuit of the “perfect” nose, there is also a functional aspect that is equally important, so breathing quality cannot be compromised.”

Rhinoplasty Benefits That You Should Know

The driving force behind the need to have a nose job is mainly aesthetic. Many people are not happy with the way their nose looks and wish to change it.

The operation is essentially a minor one and patients can return to their homes when the operation is done. Only those who are prone to risks and complications are kept overnight at the hospital for monitoring after the rhinoplasty.

There are two main techniques in implementing the changes and improvements that the patient would like. These are the open and closed techniques, which refer mainly to the types of incisions that are made.

The operation can make different kinds of alterations and improvements on the person’s facial feature.

The aesthetic benefits of getting a nose job are dependent on the preferences of the individual and his or her point of view.

There are also health benefits that rhinoplasty can bring to people. There are some individuals who have some difficulty breathing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Self-satisfaction is something that a person gets when he or she is happy with the results of the operation.
• Symmetry of the face and its features is something that is usually sought by the patient.
• Birth defects can also affect how a person breathes.

“Speaking to a certified and qualified surgeon will enlighten the patient more about other benefits.”
