Sandy’s Blog: Meet Sandy
June 17th, 2009
My name is Sandy and I am the Patient Care Coordinator at Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center, Ltd. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bashioum for 17 years. It is obvious from the length of time that I have worked with him, I enjoy working with Dr. Bashioum and find cosmetic surgery to be fascinating, very rewarding work. I feel especially confident recommending Dr. Bashioum as a surgeon to any patient considering cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, aesthetics, skin care, injections, etc. are all extremely popular topics to read about, hear about, watch on television and discuss with friends. There is an abundance of information, some more factual than others.
Educating patients who come to our clinic about elective procedures and surgical options currently available to them, is a role that I eagerly assume every day. I have the opportunity to meet many women and also men who are looking to see what surgical options might address their particular concerns. Consultations with Dr. Bashioum attempt to evaluate whether surgical options are appropriate solutions for patient concerns. Unlike other surgical specialties, cosmetic surgery is elective surgery, our patients are usually healthy and surgery can be scheduled when it is convenient for them.
Although no day is exactly the same, please check back to read more about what a typical day at the office is for me.
Dr. Bashioum’s Thank You, Melissa
June 9th, 2009
I cannot thank Melissa enough for sharing in her journey into cosmetic surgery with her breast enlargement experience. By in large, most Americans keep cosmetic surgery to themselves. Melissa’s frequent postings allows readers to share her personal insights and thoughts regarding augmentation mammaplasty. This personal and candid account is hard to find. Melissa, thank you for sharing your story.
Melissa’s comment about her husband being a “Peeping Tom” is much more complex than the simple physical change which Melissa chose. The real change that spouses or significant others appreciate, is the renewed confidence which women express after breast enlargement surgery. Women feel better both in and out of their wardrobe. This often manifests as better posture, more smiles and greater self-awareness. These are the real changes which seem to be very attractive to spouses or boyfriends.
Other people in Melissa’s social and family circles may not notice that anything has been done, as she herself suggested. I believe that the perfect result after cosmetic surgery is one which others do not notice as such. Friends and family may ask if Melissa has been working out, has lost weight, or changed clothing styles. Regardless of the chosen size, it is my goal to achieve a natural looking result, to achieve proportion. That is truly the best satisfaction for me as a plastic surgeon.
