Safe When Performing Plastic Surgery Procedures

The development of the dynamics of modern society has caused the demand for plastic surgery procedures or cosmetic surgery to increase in the last 10 years, including during the corona virus pandemic. It is no longer taboo in today's society, where every individual appears more attractive and admits to having had plastic surgery procedures.
The high demand from the public sometimes makes prospective patients confused about who they should undergo plastic surgery procedures with. Many patients do not fully understand, and carry out plastic surgery procedures with professionals such as beauticians, beauty doctors, general practitioners and specialist doctors who are not supposed to carry out plastic surgery procedures.
These professionals who call themselves “beauty doctors” offer a variety of plastic surgery procedures, but do not offer the best choice for patients. The procedures they carry out are only based on what they can, not based on the needs of each individual. The thing that confuses people is that a general practitioner can legally perform medical procedures, including plastic surgery procedures that they received from one or two plastic surgery courses, and then immediately call themselves a plastic surgeon. These “beauticians” or “beauty doctors” usually cannot handle complications or short-term and long-term side effects from the procedures they perform and only when complications occur do they give patients referrals to official plastic surgeons.
Incessant beauty clinic agents and hospital agents from within and outside the country carry out marketing on social media, sometimes providing inaccurate information to prospective patients, where after the procedure is completed, it turns out the results are not like the before-after photos shown by the agent and doctor during the consultation session.
A board-certified plastic surgeon can explain all the available options and technologies, then provide the best overall choice for each individual. Because each individual is different, a direct face-to-face examination is highly recommended for accurate diagnosis and next steps.

Many patients undergo plastic surgery but are not the right candidates for the procedures they have performed, resulting in unsatisfactory results. Therefore, prospective patients must also be realistic, because plastic surgery procedures are not magic that can change a person's appearance to be 20 years younger. Explain specifically to your doctor what results you want to see differently. By understanding what you want, a plastic surgeon is expected to be able to provide a choice of procedures that are safe and according to your wishes.
If your procedure is performed outside a hospital (for example, in a clinic), make sure the doctor you choose has the right to refer you to one of the local hospitals in an emergency. This can of course be done if the doctor you choose has a license to practice at that hospital.
In closing, don't hesitate to ask and look for information before you make a choice, whether the doctor of your choice is registered with a board certified or official license to perform plastic surgery procedures and is registered with which association and in which country. Please consult with several officially certified plastic surgeons before you make a choice, so that you are truly confident when carrying out plastic surgery procedures.
