What is the aim of Aesthetic
Surgery?
Aesthetic surgery is a highly skilled
area of plastic surgery that aims to improve a patient's body image
and self-esteem. The aesthetic surgeon's task is to mould and reshape
tissue to restore or enhance appearance and function.
Who should perform Aesthetic Surgery?
Not all doctors performing cosmetic
surgery are trained plastic surgeons. A fully trained plastic surgeon
is skilled in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Plastic surgeons
are also trained to understand not only the entire body they will
be working with, but the psychological impact of surgery. They bring
an extensive range of surgical techniques to individualise the management
and treat 'the whole patient', not just the body part.
What should I look for in a Plastic Surgeon?
The most important thing to look for
in a surgeon is competence. They should be fully trained and qualified
in the type of surgery you seek.
They should also be approachable, willing to answer your questions
and understanding of your reasons for seeking surgery. A friend's
recommendation is always a good place to start. Check the qualifications
of any surgeon with the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (telephone
02- 9331 3934).
Eight years of additional training
does count.
