Cosmetic Surgery FAQs- Plastic Surgery FAQsAm I a candidate for Plastic Surgery?A: The best candidate for plastic surgery is someone with realistic expectations about what the procedure will accomplish and is considering the procedure for self improvement. Considering a cosmetic procedure to please another person, to gain popularity or in an attempt to change a recent life crisis often results in disappointment. Am I too old or too young for plastic surgery?A: Each surgery is evaluated on an individual basis, which includes consideration of age. Health status is definitely more important than the actual age when considering if someone is “too old”. Face lifts and eyelid surgery are often done for patients in their 80’s and 90’s. Some surgery is best postponed until full growth is achieved (such as breast surgery), although other surgery (such as ear surgery) will be recommended before the child starts kindergarten. What is the difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon?A: A plastic surgeon must complete post graduate training in general surgery and then at least 2 more years of training specializing in plastic surgery. In order to receive official certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the surgeon must pass a rigorous set of both written and oral examinations. Cosmetic surgeons are physicians with training in a variety of disciplines but have not gone through a plastic surgery residency program or met the criteria for board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If I have surgery performed by a plastic surgeon, will I have a scar?A: Yes. Anytime the full thickness of skin has been cut, there will be a scar. A plastic surgeon will try to put incisions in areas that are usually hidden or along natural creases that will normally fade over time. Some people have the tendency to make good scars while others have the tendency to make bad scars in spite of the scar minimizing techniques used. All scars will look like a fine line at first, and it depends on the body’s ability to heal as to what it will look like several months later. At the Center for Plastic Surgery at Ridgewood Hill, we will monitor the progress of your scar and try to help minimize it. Will my insurance pay for any part of my plastic surgery?A: Plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons is not covered by insurance. When the surgery is medically necessary it may be fully or partially covered depending on the specific insurance company. Many procedures will be preauthorized with the insurance company. Can I have multiple procedures performed at the same time?A: Yes. As long as the amount of surgery and amount of time it takes to complete is appropriate, multiple surgeries are often performed together. Breast augmentation with liposuction, face lift with eyelid surgery or brow lift and tummy tuck with liposuction or possibly breast surgery are common combinations.
