e-Health: How to ask an indication of surgery to maximize patient satisfaction and minimize their possible disappointment?
Dr. Daniel Benatar: Do not try to oversimplify the answers to this question.First, it should try to identify as accurately as possible the source of distress . We consult a surgeon because our anatomy is suitable or not we can judge it not consistent with the idea that we have of the beauty .Whatever the circumstances, we are overdue in a state of discomfort and consult a doctor to try to stop the source of discomfort. In some cases, identification of the problem is clear and precise: a nose too large, sagging breasts, a face shield that disturbs, etc.. Unfortunately, in many situations, the patient focuses his attention on part of his anatomy, which is not actually the real reason for his distress . Therefore, it is imperative to talk with her doctor. Communication must be very frank, close to what one has with a psychotherapist . If there is evil in his skin, he must succeed in order to express the reasons that the physician can understand where lies the source of distress. For example, if a patient thinks is wrong with her skin because her breasts are too small, a good conversation with the doctor may identify other causes, such as a conflict with her husband, the latter having a extramarital affair. Or for this patient, acquire the breast surgery of similar size to those of his rival, will not solve the problem. This is an attempt to heal a wound with a bad solution. The resemblance does not necessarily allow him to recover her husband. This example, like others, is very common. Hence the importance of not hiding anything the doctor in order to be sure not to miss the basic problem .
The second point, choosing your surgeon . Certainly there are many, but the hardest is to avoid the bad surgeon, and there! We must be certain that it has jurisdiction to resolve your problem. Indeed, all surgeons are not able to perform all operations , so there are so many specialties.
Then you must select the ideal operation . Indeed, multiple tools are available to solve each problem. For example, to an aging face, one can resort to injections of Botox , collagen or other products in pilling chemicals, sandblasting, laser treatment or surgery, which itself offers the possibility of lifting of the skin, muscles, with endoscopy, laser, etc.. Hence the importance of the choice of doctor if they have minimal training in a specific area, the choice is very limited, and it is clear that we do not deal just with a single technique . So if you have identified your problem and chosen the right doctor, you select your operation safely.
A final point, follow the advice pre and post-operative , like avoiding certain medications that can cause bleeding, certain activities, make a full assessment not to miss diabetes or hypertension. Choose in collaboration with his physician anesthesia is most appropriate, least risky (local or general). Indeed, today we can do a lot of interventions under local anesthesia and avoids the highest general.
By following these points, you have every chance of having a successful operation and to be satisfied . But a single failure in one of these three points can lead to very serious failure with severe complications, even dramatic. Surgery is an extremely serious act that can only be achieved by highly skilled professionals .
In conclusion Dr Benatar wished to clarify that "there is no generality. Cosmetic surgery is something extremely personal. It is precisely analyze each case and find the solution for everyone, which is sometimes surgery, sometimes psychotherapy . Indeed, in some cases, you should know to recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist, and not get into surgery. This is the question we always ask ourselves: the problem can be solved by surgery or is it better to do psychotherapy? Should we use a scalpel or the floor to address a specific problem? "
