Q: What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery? A: Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve 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, tumours or disease. In general, reconstructive surgery is performed to improve function and to restore or approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is typically covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly. Q: How do I know if I’m choosing a good surgeon? A: Look for the following criteria: The surgeon should be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This certification means they have graduated from an accredited medical school, have the required training in the specialty or subspecialty from an accredited residency program, and have passed a rigorous set of comprehensive exams, or should have similar qualifications from other countries. The surgeon should have experience performing the type of procedure that you are seeking and meet continuing medical education requirements. The medical facility, where the surgeon operates, should have all the facilities needed for the procedure to be in good standing. The surgeon should willingly share examples of his previous work. Q: What is the cost of plastic surgery? A: The cost for the procedure will vary depending on the procedure and if multiple procedures are performed at the same time. The training, expertise and experience of the treating surgeon are major factors for the cost, as well as, where the procedure is performed. We offer a package rate on most of our cosmetic procedures; this includes a set fee for the surgeon, surgical suite and anaesthesia. Q: Am I a Good Candidate for Surgery? A: Although being in good general health and prepared emotionally and financially for plastic surgery are good indicators that you may be ready for surgery, determining whether you are a good candidate for plastic surgery requires an individual consultation with a plastic surgeon. At KAS Medical Center, we treat each patient as the unique individual they are and fully discuss your goals and options to help you determine if plastic surgery is the right choice for you right now. Q: Should I Quit Smoking Before Surgery? A: Yes. You should stop smoking before surgery. It is not only good for your overall health to give up cigarettes, it will also aid your recovery from surgery. If you are a smoker, it is important to be honest with your plastic surgeon about your smoking habits because smoking can have such a significant effect on your recovery. Q: When may I schedule surgery? A: You may schedule your procedure with our surgery scheduler as soon as you feel ready to proceed. We will try our best to work with you in accommodating your schedule. We will see you again prior to surgery to again review your goals, review the procedure and the postoperative course. Q: How do I prepare for surgery? A: We will give you instructions to prepare for surgery. These instructions will include guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications for a specific time before surgery. Some tests may be recommended prior to your procedure. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure to be performed, and any risks and potential complications of your surgery. If you do not understand something or have any questions, please ask your surgeon. We will be happy to answer your questions. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and to help you out for a few days, if needed. Q: What can I expect following surgery? A: You will most likely feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery. Your surgeon may prescribe medication to help control most of your discomfort. He/she will also give you a detailed explanation of what to expect based on your procedure. This will include specific instructions on healing and activity level. It is important that you follow-up as directed with your surgeon. He/she will assess your condition and healing process. We are here to make your procedure or surgery as comfortable as possible for you. We will walk you through the process and be available to answer any questions along the way. Q: Is plastic surgery painful? A: Prior to undergoing cosmetic surgery, you will be given either local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, or a combination to help you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. You can expect some discomfort, bruising, and swelling during recovery. However, we will provide explicit instructions that can help expedite recovery and minimise discomfort. When necessary, we will prescribe pain medication. Q: Is plastic surgery safe? A. When performed by an experienced and reputable surgeon who takes time to confirm that you are a candidate for the procedure you desire, plastic surgery is quite safe. The most significant measure patients can take in ensuring their own safety is to choose an experienced, well-qualified plastic surgeon who is operating in a good facility. Q: When can I resume normal activities? A. It is important to understand that everyone heals at a different rate. In addition to your unique capacity to heal, the length of recovery will depend upon the type and number of procedures you receive. We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your recovery, and the doctor will let you know when it is safe to resume work, exercise, and strenuous activity. Q: What are the most common aesthetic surgical procedures? A: The common aesthetic procedures are: Breast Cosmetic Surgeries- Augmentation, Reduction, Lift Liposuction Nose reshaping Eyelid and Face Cosmetic Surgery Tummy Tuck Brazilian Buttock Lift Hair TransplantSPECIALISATION:
