Anti-aging Cosmetic Surgery: Patient Reflection Eye Nipntuck, Facelift
May 16th, 2012
Yvette writes about her experience (and being a youthful Mother of the Groom):
Just like some of the other guest bloggers, a large part of my initial decision to go with Dr.Bashioum was having the option to use IV sedation available to me instead of general anesthesia. In addition to this, a few of Dr. Bashioum’s staff members were also previous patients of his also had the same surgery I was considering–blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. It says a lot about a doctor when the staff consists of satisfied patients. Dr. Bashioum also had the “decades†of experience that I was looking for in a surgeon.
The whole experience from consultation to final result was really great. I was treated respectfully, professionally, and compassionately at every step in the process and by every staff member I encountered. I was surprised and pleased by all the complimentary after care as well–I was even given Dr. Bashioum’s home phone number! The experience was so good that I got braver and returned the following year (2011) for a facelift. Once again the whole plastic surgery experience was fantastic.
My son got married this year and all of the out-of-state family members that I hadn’t seen in years, kept saying how I looked the same age as my cousins who are several years younger than I am. I am very happy I did this for myself, and very pleased with the Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center.
Cosmetic Surgery for Career Boost
April 2nd, 2012
I have written about this new trend before and it is troubling when a patient has this single expectation of why they want cosmetic surgery. For the same reason that I try to screen patients for unrealistic expectations, understanding motivation for undergoing cosmetic surgery may be complicated. In an age where youth is sometimes prized over experience and looking young equates to vitality, I can understand why patients often turn to cosmetic surgery to maintain a competitive edge.
According to employment expert Prof Chris Warhurst, “employers now place a higher value on physical appearance and presentation.†However, the way you present yourself, how stylish you dress, your confidence and level of physical fitness are all important factors when being sized up in today’s job market. If some anti-aging Nipntucks are part of this package, I feel it is appropriate. Last year 13.8 million cosmetic surgery procedures were performed, but when cosmetic surgery is the primary goal to secure a job, get a husband or used to seek attention, extreme caution should be exercised.
