Plastic Surgery is Real Surgery... Make Good Decisions

I was very happy to find this old video on one of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons sites...



The point is that responsible and well trained surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery would not resort to hyperbole or irresponsible promises in order to gain your interest or business...

You've seen the ads... I know I have- "satisfaction guaranteed!" "Lose 5 gallons of fat in one hour without anesthesia!" Some even show people who have had a tummy tuck and represent them as liposuction patients...

Does this really sound like responsible health care delivery to you?

Here's why you, as a prospective patient, should be very worried about this....

If a doctor is willing to compromise their Hippocratic Oath, their ethics and their morals by making these ridiculous and irresponsible advertising claims, what else might he or she be willing to compromise in order to make money?

Realize this- any operation (and yes, liposuction is an operation) is a series of small but important decisions... if you have placed yourself in the hands of someone like this, how can you be confident that as the operation proceeds and these decisions are being made, that the decisions are made based on what is in your best interests and not on what is best for the doctor- who has already proven they are willing to compromise themselves to make a buck??

Plastic Surgery is Real Surgery- be safe. Be sure you have someone in control of your safety and happiness who has actually completed Plastic Surgery Residency training (not ER training or ophthalmology training or Family Practice Training) and is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
