KQ Morning Show Tom’s Surgery
October 3rd, 2016
Last week the KQRS Morning Show with host Tom Barnard, did a live broadcast with Dave Mordal calling Tom’s nipntuck surgery play by play. Dr. Bashioum stands by to chat with listeners before prepping Tom for his surgery.
In case you missed tuning in for the KQRS Thursday Morning Show. You can see video clips and other photos on our Nip N Tuck Facebook Page here.
Everyone at Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery joins The Morning Show listeners to wish Tom a speedy recovery. Keep in mind that facelift surgery may take 6 weeks to 6 months for a complete full recovery and many of our patients find that the most difficult part of having surgery is being patient during this healing process.

Cosmetic Surgery: the New Normal
June 24th, 2015
Is Cosmetic Surgery the New Normal?
This week’s Time Magazine cover has a provocative title, Nip Tuck or Else. Author Joel Stein predicts that cosmetic surgery will not only become more common, but those opting to age naturally will be in the minority. While elective cosmetic surgery has lost much of stigma for being exclusively for the rich and famous, I am less convinced that most women will feel compelled to undergo surgery just because it is fashionable.
As a plastic surgeon, I regard surgery as a major decision for my patients and disagree that a nipntuck is the new stylish makeup. However, the non-surgical procedures such as Botox ® and synthetic fillers top more than 5 times the number of surgical procedures like facelifts and breast enlargements. According to Stein, these quick fixes represent a whopping 83% of the treatments done by dermatologists today. There is no doubt that social media has had an impact on the perception of beauty and the constant scrutiny of an increasingly narcissistic society has driven the marketplace. In my opinion, the bottom line is to seek out ethical practioners if you are considering having cosmetic surgery and schedule consultations with Board Certified Physicians. Useful websites to check physician credentials are The American Society for Plastic Surgery and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, both organizations in which I am a member.
