Beware of Plastic Surgery Marketing
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009“New and improved, better than before, no pain, no healing required, no down time, return to work the next day, instant results, no anesthesia required can be done under local anesthesia, no complications, total correction and lasts forever” etc.
When most of us hear these terms in advertising and marketing, almost all of us view it with a healthy degree of skepticism. In other words, we don’t believe it. However, when it comes to plastic surgery, alot of patients are not very sensible and believe in these so called new and better procedures. After several years and many unhappy patients, Thread Lifts do not work and the company that made the threads went out of business. I never did any Thread Lift operations.
No patient should ever try a plastic surgery procedure that has not been around for at least 1 year or more. You know when a procedure works when reputable and mainstream plastic surgeons do the procedure. Whether you are considering a facelift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction or other plastic surgery, you need to be an informed patient and use your common sense.
I had a patient ask me the other day if I performed an noninvasive rhinoplasty or nose job with no cuts or anesthesia. If there are no cuts and anesthesia, how is any plastic surgeon able to reshape your nose? Again, one needs to use some common sense.
