+�-�Just when I thought it was safe for me to relax….just when I thought that plastic & cosmetic surgery and beauty enhancement treatments were so “in the news” that people must have+�-�a+�-�basic understanding of what’s what…I see someone in consultation that prooves me wrong!+�-� I saw a patient from out of town yesterday for a consultation for chin augmentation (chin implant) and general facial sculpting.+�-� Basically, make his face more masculine and attractive.+�-� Reasonable request.+�-� So far so good!+�-�

+�-�After we got the patients medical history out of the way and had a basic discussion of what he was looking for, we got into specifics about what would improve his appearance.+�-� That’s when everything went south.+�-� He had seen other surgeons in other areas that had given him advice 180 degrees opposite to what I recommended.+�-� Some, of which, really didn’t make much sense to me.+�-� As I explained why and why not I would do certain things a certain way…the patient looked at me and asked “how am I suppossed to know who’s right and what to do?”+�-� That’s the million dollar question isn’t it?

+�-�Despite being more popular than ever, people still do not have the basic understanding of plastic & cosmetic surgery procedures….even a simple one like a chin implant surgery.+�-� They find it difficult to make informed decisions.+�-� I understand.+�-� That’s why I blog!+�-� That’s why I have a voluminous website for your education.+�-� That’s why I write segments like the one titled: “How to Choose your Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon”….read them.+�-� Encourage your friends to read them…it will help…..promise!+�-� http://www.drfpalmer.com
