Poll: Are plastic surgeons busier during the holidays?

No. They are busier BEFORE the holidays, so people will try and look their best DURING the holidays.

Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery is very safe nowadays. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Tummy tuck, Liposuction surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Fly2india4health Consultants. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your Tummy tuck, Liposuction surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of Healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her Tummy tuck, Liposuction surgery done there and she is more than very happy with the results. She is all praise for Fly2india4health Consultants. She paid just 20% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. Hope this helps

Do plastic surgeons deny some patients surgery?

I had an interesting chat with my surgeon last month when I was talking to her about a minor revision that I’m getting ready for. The root question is: “Will it be worth it?” It’s a haunting question for me and one I wrestled with for months. (For context, I have an anatomically shaped breast implant that’s turned sideways and deformed the pocket it sits in. Makes it look like my left breast is stuck in a push-up bra at all times) The question has been: If we open it back and screw with it, will it be better enough to be worth going through more surgery and more recovery (plus more $$.) The answer, from my PS and almost every other PS I talked to was that there would be enough improvement to merit the effort.And here’s the thing that’s relevant. When I asked that, my surgeon’s response was “if I didn’t think we could improve things from here then I wouldn’t do the surgery.” That’s comforting to hear.Surgeons may have any number of reasons to refuse to perform a surgery. Maybe the patient’s goals aren’t realistic or obtainable. Maybe there are contravening medical conditions that significantly increase the risk. An ethical surgeon should deny patients for whom surgery is not advisable. Whether or not any given individual is a good candidate for a given procedure is something you’ll actually have to discuss with a surgeon to know.

How to get free plastic surgery??

I can pretty much guarantee that they do NOT give away their services for free. Every patient is a potential lawsuit, you know, and they are not going to incur that risk without some serious financial gain.

Many plastic surgeons run their own OR, and that costs plenty. S/he also has to pay the nursing staff, buy the supplies, cover malpractice insurance costs, overhead, etc. If you got the surgery for free, the surgeon would be out hundreds to thousands of dollars.

The only way to get free or reduced cost surgery is to work for a plastic surgeon. Usually after a year or more, you cna start getting discounts. If you work for one for a long time (10, 15 years) you might start getting stuff for free.

Either that or marry one. They always work on their wives.

Who are the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Turkey?

My best friend recommended me to Hospitality in Turkey for my nosejob :)
First I was skeptical, because I can't speak the language and have never been there before..
But I was curious so I called the number I found on their website.
I was helped in English and was impressed by the openness and courtesy.

They told me about their well known hospitals and doctors and send me within 2 days their price options (for free of course). The first thing I did was to research on Google the names of the doctors and hospitals (like Acibadem, Memorial.. and a lot more I can't remember) they gave me and compare the prices with the prices of Berlin.
And I have to say my little research quite surprised me and I decided to travel to Turkey !
You can check them on the link below or just ask me. :)
There are doctors which have studied medicine in Europe and U.S. (and so is their English) with more experience and more advanced technologies than the doctors I looked for here.
But nonetheless the Hospitality Team stood always by my side in order to help me with
the language and translation. :)

I have never met such hospitable people ! :)
Not only the Hospitality Team, also the doctors and the Turkish people.

And the result? It is impressive ! It's 1:1 like I discussed with my doctor.
The price is much lower than in Germany and at the same time
I had a short holiday trip to Istanbul - btw: very nice city ;)

And after I returned to Berlin they called me to make sure if everythings ok :)
Don't know if you already got your second nose job but it could also be a solution for other members. :)

How can I get free plastic surgery?

Free plastic surgery isn't necessarily something one would search for and seek out. The military offers free surgery to active duty members( just a side note that while I was in, there were probably six females getting breast implants; they had to pay the cost of the implant themselves). Unless you are at a facility that is small in size, you may find yourself being operated on mostly by a resident with the attending coming in at some point during the procedure. Especially if you are at a Medical Center of some type. Center is synonymous with teaching facility.I will share that while I was in the Army another soldier had a tummy tuck. As a certified surgical technologist having sixteen years of experience I’be been in on a fair amount of abdominalplasties. Most times everything is fine and the outcome is fantastic. However, I'm not quite sure what happened with this one girl but she lifted her shirt and showed me where it appeared the surgeon had taken muscle out and she was concave in appearance on her abdomen. I would never have understood had she not shown me what they did to her. I was shocked.She was getting ready to have her contract end (ETS) and she was finally able to get seen by another plastic surgeon to have them fix her situation. There wasn't persay discipline action that happened but the doctor who was supposed to be attended in the case then mysteriously deployed to Iraq for six months just about a month after she filed a complaint.Good luck and choose wisely you only have one body.

Where does the term "plastic surgery" comes from?

The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material we know as plastic.

Plastic surgeons typically mold and reshape the following tissues of the body: bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, and skin.

In German and French it is also used to refer to sculptures or art forms using various materials.

Does plastic surgery last forever?

As always, it depends. Some procedures, such as a face lift, can leave a positive, lasting impact for decades. The best way to illustrate this is if you had an identical twin, and you had plastic surgery, but your twin did not. What will happen is, as you both age, you will continue to look better/younger than your twin. However, the reality is, after 5 or 10 years you may indeed want a touch-up to look as good as you possibly can. But this doesn’t mean that you have to have surgery again.Now let me illustrate a different example: Botox. I often hear people ask, “Don’t you have to keep doing it every 6 months?” Absolutely not! You don’t have to, and you could indeed have Botox just once. Some people only have it done around the holidays and important events, and I don’t see them again for another year. This is because they want to look good for the New Years’ parties, photos, and family get-togethers. Some people even have Botox occasionally just to relieve a persistent headache.Botox is a great entry-level plastic surgery procedure, because there is virtually zero recovery time, it has a relatively low price point, and it works well. It is not permanent, but the good news is also that it is not permanent! If for some reason you don’t like it, it will wear off…nothing lost!
