1. What makes Dr. Khosravi different:
His techniques are not different. His philosophy is to maintain the gold standard of the procedures, not jumping on the latest fad. For any technique, to follow everything that's new is not good. I prefer to wait and watch and see if the results are good. He does not advise patients to try everything new that comes around.
2. Benefits to his patients:
There is a high level of comfort and confidence in terms of the results that they which to achieve.
He strives to make sure that their expectations and results are in balance. Everything is very media oriented these days and this has a lot of influence on the decisions that doctors and patients make. To that end, the patient needs a strong and stable personality to adhere to the gold standard and not be influenced by the media.
3. Pitfalls of the celebrity doctor syndrome:
Sometimes celebrities put unreasonable pressure on their doctors to make decisions regarding prep and follow up care, especially if they are in production. Celebrities also have a lot of social and business commitments as well and this is translated to their surgery. This might be the cause of some of the bad results we see on celebrities in the tabloids; the imperfect results may not always be the doctor’s fault. If the celebrity factor was taken away from the consult, the surgeon might take a different tack in terms of timetable and tactical approach. When you add the celebrity factor, it influences the surgeon, and this may not be a good thing.
4. How to choose a plastic surgeon?
Choose someone you can trust with a strict code of ethics, who has completed at least 5 years of surgical training with at least 2 years in plastic surgery. Make sure the surgeon fulfills their continuing education requirements including standard and innovative techniques. The surgeon should operate only in accredited medical facilities. From the patient’s point of view - is the surgeon the right person to achieve what they want from breast augmentation?
5. Is breast augmentation right for you?
Breast augmentation can increase fulness and projection of the breast, improve the balance of the figure and enhance self image and self confidence. This is very highly individualized process - do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desire or image. Breast augmentation may be a good option for people who are physically healthy, have realistic expectations, whose breasts are fully developed, but they feel that they are too small. It’s also a good option for people who are dissatisfied with their shape, fullness or projection from aging, weight loss or pregnancy. When one or both breasts fail to develop naturally or vary in size or shape from left and right, breast surgery is a good option. Breast augmentation involves using implants to fulfill the desire for fuller breasts or to restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy. Sometimes the breasts are sagging and the patient will need a breast lift in conjunction with the augmentation. The breast lift can be done at the same time as the breast augmentation, or it may require a separate operation. Your doctor can help you make this decision.
6. What should a patient expect at their first appointment or consult?
When a patient makes an appointment, she should be ready to ask some questions and answer some questions.
For example:
Why do you want to do the surgery?
- What are your expectation and desired outcome?
- They should share all medications including vitamins, alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
- Discuss any kind of previous surgeries, not only aesthetic surgeries.
- Share the family history of breast cancer and the results of any mammogram or previous biopsies.
At the same time, the surgeon should evaluate the general health status of the patient and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors. The surgeon should examine the breasts and take detailed measurements of the size and shape, skin quality, and placement of nipples.
The surgeon might also take pictures. The surgeon should definitely will discuss options and propose a course of treatment. The discussion should include possible risk and complications. The procedure is done under general anesthesia.
The doctor should also discuss the choice of implant: saline or silicone? Together, they need to discuss the different approaches about where to put the incision.
For example:
- armpit
- areola
- through the breast fold
- belly button.
How the surgeon makes the decision, in some cases depends on the exam and findings. Some doctors like to make the incision through the belly button. Dr. Khosravi is not convinced.
He prefers to make the incision through the areola.
7. How does the interpret Before and After photos?
Once again, the best course of action is to discuss this with the doctor, who will tell you the
limitations and options. At the at end of the consult, the patient will have a very good idea of what to expect.
If you are considering plastic surgery of your breasts, consider Dr. Khosravi. You will be glad you did.
