Additional comments to my last post
My basic message in my last post is that I am amazed by how few patients, looking to have breast augmentation, are actually asking those questions. This is elective surgery and nobody is coercing you to have this procedure done. You are in control to choose the right surgeon for yourself. Why compromise? You are establishing a lifelong relationship with someone. Don't you want to know who this person really is on a medical level?
Nowadays you can get Botox in a hair salon, liposuction is perfomed by Ear Nose and Throat specialists, or in the back of someone's garage-(true story-bad outcome). Breast augmentation is performed by general surgeons not board certified plastic surgeons. Trust me - we have seen it all. The main point is that you have to trust this person to perform high quality medical care on yourself. There is quality control-you just have to commit to find the best. Make sure that you are 100% comfortable with the choice you made-otherwise cancel your surgery. You may lose the deposit but so what? Here is the amazing part.
We get so many phone calls from patients too afraid to go back to their original surgeon because there is a problem. They come to us instead. Upon questioning them why they would not address these issues with the first surgeon, many answer that they are "afraid" to do so. They are intimidated. basically, they should not have had the surgery there in the first place.
All I am saying is that you as the patient have to be comfortable with your surgeon's overall philosophy-it has to be a fit. If not, find someone else with whom you will mesh.
Dr. Bednar is one of the top breast augmentation surgeons in this country-bar none. He has a distinct philosophy. Despite the fact that we have seen thousands and thousands of breast augmentation patients over 20 years, he always wants to make sure that the prospective patient is comfortable with him and the staff, ie the overall care in our practice.
