Plastic surgeons

What does a plastic surgeon do and when should you see one

A plastic surgeon focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. You should consult a plastic surgeon if you:

• Wish to enhance certain facial features (dissatisfaction with the shape of the nose, lips, cheeks, etc.).
• Need to correct areas of the body that do not meet your aesthetic expectations.
• Require restoration after an injury, surgery, or to create symmetry due to congenital defects.

• Want to undergo skin rejuvenation procedures (blepharoplasty, lifting).

A consultation with a plastic surgeon can help you determine the best approach to achieve your aesthetic goals.

What diagnostic methods does a plastic surgeon use

Plastic surgeons use various assessment methods to understand the patient's needs. The main methods include:

• Medical history and discussion of your aesthetic goals
• Physical examination: evaluation of the areas to be corrected
• 3D modeling or specialized imaging to demonstrate potential surgical outcomes

These methods help the doctor gain a clear understanding of desired results and possible risks associated with the procedures.

What treatment methods does a plastic surgeon use

The methods that a plastic surgeon may use can include:

• Reconstructive surgery to correct defects or injuries, including operations on the face or body to address congenital anomalies.
• Aesthetic surgery — performing various aesthetic procedures (breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, etc.).
• Minimally invasive procedures, including injection techniques such as Botox, fillers, and laser therapy for enhancing appearance without major surgeries.

How a consultation with a plastic surgeon goes

The consultation with a plastic surgeon at the Dobrobut clinic begins with gathering detailed information about your expectations and physical condition. The doctor conducts an assessment and may propose recommendations for optimal correction methods, preparation for the procedure, discussion of possible risks and benefits of the surgery, and outline the recovery timeline after the procedure.

What questions can you ask the doctor

During your consultation with the plastic surgeon, consider asking the following questions:

• What procedures are best suited to achieve my goals?
• What risks are associated with the chosen procedure?
• How quickly can I return to my normal life after the procedures?
• What results can I expect after surgery?
• What are the costs for plastic surgery procedures and any potential additional expenses?

These questions will help you gather more information about your options and the risks of the procedures, as well as the financial aspects involved.
