Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Care News

Cosmetic surgery is booming in America. As more physicians become involved in this new area of medicine, the public all too often becomes confused with advertisements and claims as to truths and realistic expectations in post-treatment results. Along with this concern comes the bewildering and at times critical comments about which specialty and training program produce the best cosmetic doctors. In truth, there are multiple academies, societies, and certifying boards which encompass some degree of training in cosmetic medicine. Within each specialty there exist areas of training and innovations that are not seen elsewhere. Consequently, no organization can claim that members are the best trained physicians to treat any or all aspects of this rapidly growing science. In truth, medical education is a continuing responsibility. Initiated with basic residency training, proceeds with specialized fellowships, and progresses it to a Board certification process. This provides the cosmetic surgeon with the basic background tools, but certainly not the finished product. From there, experience, continuing workshops, meetings, seminars, visitations with authorities in the field, and even more clinical experience make up the fine tooling of a cosmetic specialist. Board certification implies that the physician has met the specific requirements of training and experience and has passed a written and oral examination on specific medical and surgical topics. While a critical detail in any potential surgeon's resume, Board certification alone does not guarantee excellence in clinical practice. No matter how prestigious the training and how vigorous some egomaniacal claims of superiority, Board-certified cosmetic physicians still must deal with risks and complications and should provide patients with realistic informed consent at the time of preoperative counseling in cosmetic medicine, a significant overlap exists within different specialties.

Choosing a cosmetic surgeon can be frustrating and possibly hazardous to your health. Health care has become quite specialized, and cosmetic surgery is no exception. Today, in addition to qualified cosmetic surgeons, some gynecologists, otolaryngologists, family physicians, dermatologists, and dentists may be performing some cosmetic procedures. None of these specialists is qualified to perform ALL cosmetic procedures. Therefore, it is essential for the patient to be proactive. Use all resources available to you in order to learn about the specific procedure you will undergo as well as the professional best suited to perform that procedure.
