With the rapidly growing popularity and variety of cosmetic procedures now readily available, more and more consumers are considering plastic surgery. It is not surprising therefore that more and more doctors are entering the field of plastic surgery.  In fact, there are probably more doctors who claim to be plastic surgeons as compared to those doctors who really underwent extensive training to become fully trained and board certified plastic surgeons.

 

Plastic surgery involves many choices. The first and most important is selecting a surgeon you can trust.  Choosing a fully trained Plastic Surgeon ensures that you have selected a physician who has completed at least four years of general surgery residency training with a minimum of three years fellowship training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

Too many cosmetic surgeries are done by doctors without adequate formal training in plastic surgery.  It takes six to eight years of formal training to mold a physician after medical school into to a certified Plastic Surgeon. With the complexity of the plastic surgery specialty, it is not enough for a physician to undergo months or even a year of preceptorship training in any establishment, in order for them to comprehend all the principles and applications in the field of plastic cosmetic surgery.

Although the public equates plastic surgery with cosmetic surgery, the roots of plastic surgery lie in its reconstructive heritage. Cosmetic surgery, an important component of plastic surgery, is but one piece of the plastic surgical puzzle.

Plastic surgery consists of reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery but the boundary between the two, like the boundary of plastic surgery itself, is difficult to draw. The more one studies the specialty, the more the distinction between cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery disappears.

Compared to other countries such as the United States and Europe, the cost of cosmetic surgery in the Philippines is definitely much lower.  Your choice of surgeon should not be based on the cost of surgery, rather it should be dictated by his qualifications and experience.  Since cosmetic surgery is largely a result oriented subspecialty, take time to find out your surgeon’s qualifications. 

Patients who wish to undergo cosmetic surgery should realize that the most important decision they will make is their choice of surgeon. Patients should not be afraid to ask for the training background of their surgeons. The experience and training of their surgeon is the most important factor that will spell the difference between successful and poorly planned surgeries.

Are you planning to have a cosmetic surgery?-Choose the right Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Now that the public are becoming more interested in enhancing their physical features through cosmetic surgery, more doctors and even non doctors do and offer cosmetic services to unsuspecting clients. Deciding to have a particular cosmetic procedure done is a major decision but choosing the right surgeon is the most important decision you have to make. We encourage you to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon. Since any licensed physicians perform cosmetic surgery in the Philippines without legal impediment. Cosmetic surgery is very fulfilling for both the patient and Plastic Surgeon when it is done in a manner that is safe, sound, and realistic.

Give time and effort to know your doctor’s academic and training profile. Your surgeon must be able to provide you information of his formal training in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. At present, there are still quite a number of cosmetic surgery procedures that are being performed by non-qualified doctors (physician without adequate formal training in Plastic Aesthetic or Cosmetic Surgery). It takes six to eight years of formal training after medical school to produce a Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon.

With the objective of enhancing your physical appearance, the quality and final outcome of the procedure must be your main priority. Do not scout for the least expensive or the cheapest doctor. Don’t be swayed by marketing hype of some surgeons. Ask your friends and the previous patients about his quality of care. Be skeptical about drugs or prosthetics that are the less expensive or the so called cheaper versions. Take the quality of the drug or material into consideration more than its cost. And lastly make sure that their cosmetic center or clinic is equipped and certified. Needless to say, there are cosmetic operations that are safer when performed in the hospital. Your surgeon must be knowledgeable as to which procedure should be performed at the Out Patient Clinic and procedures that require hospital admission.

To ensure the best results for the surgery you are considering, choose an authentic Cosmetic/Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon with the proper training and experience that is essential for the success of your surgery.

Why have we chosen the city of Santa Cruz for your trip?

In Santa Cruz, you will find cosmetic surgeons with outstanding skills, wide experience and innovative techniques. Many foreigners had surgery in Bolivia and experienced surgeons who treated them in their warm friendly way, with a very sensitive feeling for aesthetics and with there capability to leave almost invisible scars.

Forest, rivers and prairies. Hallucinated places of exuberant vegetation, rural and suffocating corners conform the territory of the department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra located in the oriental part of Bolivia.

Prosperous city of modern shades, Santa Cruz has became the economic heart of the country. Thousands of Bolivians decided to tempt fortune in the hot Orient, attracted by the vertiginous commercial and agricultural development… the borders extended and the old urban helmet was surrounded by showy buildings and very transited avenues.

Santa Cruz is also renowned for having the best hospitals for surgeries in Bolivia, where some of the most complex surgeries like hip or knee replacement surgery or cardiac surgery can be done in just a few days, at a fraction of the cost compared with the Western World.

Sensual and festival. Warm, modern and agitated. That is Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the tropical paradise of South America.



Santa Cruz de la Sierra is a very safe cosmopolitan city, that offers an impressive variety of tourist activities and a great diversity of International restaurants, with a cost of live that you will not find in none of other country…

a young and authentic city with an unique style.

If we have chosen Santa Cruz for your Image transformation

        it is not a coincidence.

We could have chosen for your “vacations” another city than Santa Cruz, or another place like “a beach” place for example; or one of those thousands of places you can find in Bolivia with mountains, snow; where you could practice “amazing” activities as swimming, riding, parasailing, or skiing…

But we have decided not to do it for a simple reason:

   Not to put the health or life of our patients in danger!

Certain medical procedures due to their nature and required post surgery care do not permit vacations.

We mention this because some plastic surgery clinics overseas position the surgery package as a way to have some fun while you are in recovery.

That is why apart from airfare and hotel, they also throw in spa services and sightseeing. Our recommendation is that you get the plastic surgery done right in one trip and think about a pleasure trip some other time.

In case of certain treatments like Hair Transplant, Rhinoplasty, some face surgeries and Dental treatments where hospitalization is not required, Makeover Travel makes an arrangement to combine with beautiful and memorable holidays (strictly as per medical advice).

We will pamper you with a trip of a lifetime!

No clinic at home could ever offer this combination of service, quality and great prices.

It seems that every time we turn on our televisions, open a magazine, or listen to the radio we are met with another reference, story, or advertisement for cosmetic facelift surgery. No longer are the masses content to just grow old gracefully; not when there are medical miracles happening that can prolong youth and sustain beauty. And while cosmetic facelift surgery is certainly not for everyone, in many it has transformed the way they feel about aging – putting their appearance back into their control.

Cosmetic facelift surgery works to erase common signs of aging – drooping eyelids, deep fold and wrinkles, loose skin, and loss of definition. It can be an incredibly successful surgery that – when healed – can restore ten years to your face. But, as with any surgery, cosmetic facelift surgery must be approached with caution and education.

First and foremost, you must decide if cosmetic facelift surgery is something that you want to do for yourself or something that you feel must be done to please others. Cosmetic surgery of any kind should be for person and one person only – you. Having cosmetic facelift surgery to help you feel better about yourself is absolutely valid; having surgery simply because someone tells you that you should look a certain way are not the right reason.

If you are confident that cosmetic facelift surgery is something that you want to explore then you should begin by doing your homework. Look into the details of the procedures you want done. Learn the requirements for surgery, and what to expect prior to, during, and after the surgery. Talk to other people who have undergone cosmetic facelift surgery so you can gage the recovery time and expected results. The Internet is a great place to find people who are in similar situations.

However, finding a reputable doctor to perform your cosmetic facelift surgery is the most important piece of the puzzle. Just because a surgeon is licensed to perform a cosmetic facelift surgery, doesn’t mean that he/she is the best person for the job. Extensively research the credentials of any surgeon you are considering. Better yet, ask for references of other patients that have had a cosmetic facelift surgery performed by this particular doctor. You’ll be able to see some examples of results up close and establish the doctor’s reputation.

Your meetings with the surgeon prior to your cosmetic facelift surgery should make you feel well informed, respected, and comfortable. Be sure to openly discuss any concerns that you have about the surgery and ask a lot of questions.

Be sure that you are clear on the risks associated with cosmetic facelift surgery. As with any cosmetic surgery there is the risk of fluid retention and infection. But using a reputable, experienced surgeon largely minimizes these risks.

You will, however, have some recovery time following the cosmetic facelift surgery. Expect some swelling, bruising, and possibly some minimal bleeding during the healing process. Be sure to follow-up with your doctor if you experience anything unusual; and follow all instructions for proper healing.

If done properly by a reputable and experienced surgeon, your cosmetic facelift surgery can be enormously successful and restore to you a youthful appearance.

Cosmetic surgery provides patients with options to choose from which can restore, repair or rejuvenate the skin and appearance. The decision to undergo any type of cosmetic surgery is a very personal one that should be given a lot of thought.

Choosing a Surgeon

It is very important to take the time and research cosmetic surgeons in your area before choosing one to work with. Credentials and experience play a major role in a cosmetic surgeon’s capability to perform your elected procedure safely and to your satisfaction.

When choosing a cosmetic surgeon, here are some things to look for:

· American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Member

· Board certified

· Medical and surgical training, including plastic surgery training

· Works in accredited facilities

· Continues education and training in new advances and standards of practice

The Right Procedure

There are many different cosmetic surgery procedures, as well as combinations of procedures. Which is right for you depends on your needs and desired results. Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery procedure, you will schedule an initial consultation with your prospective cosmetic surgeon.

This consultation will basically be a meet and greet during which you and the doctor can get to know each other. This is also the time to give the doctor detailed information about your medical history, your reasons for wanting cosmetic surgery, and what areas of your body you feel need corrective procedures performed on them.

It is very important for you and your cosmetic surgeon that you are completely honest and very communicative throughout your cosmetic surgery experience. Your surgeon must know you and your history in order to provide you with the correct advice and medical care. Communication is also the key in obtaining the results you desire once your procedure has been completed. If your surgeon is not clear on what you are looking for, you may be disappointed in the final outcome.

Questions to Ask

Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery procedure, you will be given the opportunity to ask lots of questions of your cosmetic surgeon and the staff at the clinic you are working with. Be prepared and take along a list of questions that you should have answers to before making any final decisions. Some questions you should be sure to ask are:

· Are you a certified cosmetic surgeon?

· Are you a member of the ASPS

· Where were you trained and how many years of training do you have?

· Do you have specific training in cosmetic surgery? How much?

· Is your facility or the one you perform surgeries in certified and accredited?

· What procedures do you recommend for my needs?

· Am I a good candidate for the procedure I am considering?

· What can I do to help obtain optimal results from my procedure?

· Where and how will my procedure be performed?

· What are the risks and recovery time involved? How are complications dealt with?

· How much will my procedure cost and will insurance cover any of it?

· Do you have before and after photos of similar procedures you have performed on other patients?

The Bottom Line

If you are considering undergoing any type of cosmetic surgery procedure, you owe it to yourself to be completely informed about your procedure and your doctor. Any legitimate cosmetic surgeon will not only be happy to answer any questions you have thoroughly and honestly, but they will respect you for taking the initiative to know everything there is to know about the process beforehand.
