Frequently
Asked Questions
|
|
| What
is plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is the blending of art, medicine,
and surgery. Taken from the Greek word "plastikos",
meaning to mold or give form, plastic surgery
is the area of medicine devoted to restoring and
reshaping the body. It includes both reconstructive
and cosmetic surgery. Plastic, a product of the
petroleum industry, is not used in plastic surgery,
though a number of other synthetic materials are
frequently employed.

| What
is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive
surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal
structures of the body in order to improve your
appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is
usually not covered by health insurance because
it is elective.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal
structures of the body, caused by congenital defects,
developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection,
tumors or disease. It is generally performed to
improve function, but may also be done to approximate
a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is
generally covered by most health insurance policies
although coverage for specific procedures and
levels of coverage may vary greatly.

Am I a good candidate for cosmetic surgery?
The ideal candidate for cosmetic surgery is an
individual who recognizes a specific area in which
his or her appearance could be enhanced or improved
and has a strong personal desire to make a change.
In today's society, many people choose cosmetic
surgery to counter the effects of aging. This
can be achieved for subtle changes or more dramatic
results. The choice is always left up to you.
Cosmetic surgery can help you look as young as
you feel, build confidence after a lifestyle change,
or to retain an edge against younger competitors
in today's increasingly competitive work environment.
Whatever your reasons for choosing cosmetic surgery,
it is important to have realistic expectations
for the final outcome. Improving a feature of
the face or body can give you greater self-confidence
and add to your sense of well-being and self-esteem.
Cosmetic surgery will not stop the aging process,
but it will provide many opportunities to reset
the clock. The ultimate decision should be based
on your personal desire.
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate
for cosmetic surgery is to meet privately with
Dr. Desman for a complimentary cosmetic consultation
to discuss your specific concerns.

Am I vain for considering plastic surgery?
Most people would agree that what is on the inside
of a person is more important than what's on the
outside. However, how you look can have a direct
impact on how you feel about yourself. If you
are uncomfortable with aspects of your appearance,
it can make you feel self-conscious and lower
your self-esteem.
The real story behind today's cosmetic surgery
is about people just like you who feel that their
quality of life can be improved. Whether it's
to smooth and tone aging skin, enhance your bust,
or slim your torso, cosmetic surgery can help
you achieve the look you desire.
