Cosmetic Surgeon News Roundup

February 26, 2014 By

Since their inception, cosmetic procedures have suffered through biased depictions in the media. Like many advancements in technology and medicine, they were not readily accepted into society until their benefits were more concretely established in the public eye.

In recent years, though, a variety of factors have caused cosmetic surgergy to become better accepted. Namely, increased support for personal freedoms has swayed many people’s opinions on the practice. After all, who’s to judge what a person deems appropriate for their own body?

Likewise, the issue of bullying has thrown the benefits of cosmetic procedures into sharp relief. Why should someone be teased and bullied endlessly for a small cosmetic defect, like protruding ears, when it can be quickly and easily remedied by a cosmetic surgeon?

As is usually the case, the media is a good indicator of current and changing social mores. Recent news stories show that the media is more willing to run articles on cosmetic surgery that people can rally in support of or identify with in a positive way. In other words, cosmetic procedures are no longer on the fringe.

If you are looking for a cosmetic surgeon in Seattle who is experienced and knowledgeable, consider visiting Dr. Craig Jonov. Dr. Jonov is a double board-certified surgeon who offers a wide range of services. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Jonov, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

Positive Portraits Of Celebrity Cosmetic Surgeries Flood The News

Hello Magazine recently ran a story that confirmed that Victoria Beckham, voted one of the U.K.’s 100 most powerful women by the BBC, had a breast enlargement surgery in 1999. Similarly, Kim Kardashian has been the object of constant speculation in the media about which cosmetic procedures she has tried. Kardashian—who has appeared on the cover of Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Self, among others—previously admitted to having Botox to keep her face smooth and youthful.

A recent article from Mail Online speculates that she has also had fat transfers to get her famous derriere.

Lawyers And Public Rally Behind Woman Asking Insurance Company To Pay For Procedure

If you are injured in a car accident and your doctor tells you (and your insurance) that you will need a surgery to recover from your injury, then it should be considered a medically necessary expense, right? That is what one woman is arguing.

RTV News reports that a woman recently suffered damage to her breast implants during an accident. Her insurance is unsure whether they should cover it, but personal-injury lawyers have spoken out, saying that an injury is an injury.

If you are planning a cosmetic treatment, give Dr. Jonov a call. We can help you determine which procedure or combination of procedures is best for you. To schedule a consultation, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

3 Ways That A Cosmetic Surgeon Will Determine If You Are A Good Candidate

February 20, 2014 By

Cosmetic surgeries are transformative and rejuvenating, which means that they are a big commitment. You are committing time and money to reset the clock on your body and look younger and more attractive. As with any type of surgery, your surgeon will sit down with you during a consultation to determine whether or not you are a good candidate.

Although each surgery is different, there are a few constant factors that your surgeon will use to evaluate your candidacy. Below, you’ll find three of the most common considerations during an evaluation. Your consultation will also be a great time to answer all your questions and determine how well you get along with your surgeon.

At the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, we are dedicated to helping our prospective patients become fully informed and ready for their surgery and all that it entails. To schedule a consultation with a local, experienced cosmetic surgeon in Seattle, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

1. You Lead A Healthy Lifestyle And Are Committed To Maintain It After Your Cosmetic Surgery

Physical competency is one of the first considerations before any type of surgery. Finding a skilled, knowledgeable surgeon makes up most of what you need to do to ensure that your surgery is a success, but you’ll also need to be healthy enough to undergo treatment and the recovery that follows.

WebMD explains that there are some parts of your lifestyle that you may be required to change before you can be considered a good candidate for cosmetic surgery. For instance, you should quit smoking about a month before your procedure. Likewise, you should avoid nicotine for at least two weeks after surgery.

Your doctor may also ask you about the amount of alcohol that you’re drinking and about your exercise habits to determine if you are physically fit enough for surgery.

2. You Are Mentally Healthy

Although cosmetic surgery can impart a variety of mental-health benefits, including an improved sense of self-esteem, your mental health needs to be sound in order to be considered a good candidate. In other words, the decision to undergo a surgery should not be prompted by depression, anxiety or any other mental-health disorder.

3. You Are Prepared To Disclose Your Entire Medical History

Even if you don’t think something is important, you need to speak up and tell your surgeon about your history and your habits. For instance, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure can all affect your body’s ability to heal and successfully undergo a surgery. Likewise, certain prescription medications, vitamin tablets and herbal medications can affect your final results, so don’t be shy when your surgeon asks about them.

At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery our top priority is the safety and happiness of our patients, which is why we take the time to get to know you. It’s also why we maintain a state-of-the-art facility. To schedule a consultation with our office, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

February 6, 2014 By

When it comes time to have work done on your car, would you flip your phone book open to the “body shops” section and pick one at random? Of course not. You would do your research and find someone who has experience, training and a good reputation. If you put that much work into selecting someone to work on your car, why wouldn’t you do that and more when selecting a cosmetic surgeon?

Each cosmetic surgeon has a different set of guiding principles and a different level of expertise. Some surgeons stick to tried and true techniques; other constantly improve their understanding of new, innovative treatments. To find out how you can select a great cosmetic surgeon, read the three tips below.

If you live in the Seattle area, we hope you’ll consider coming into The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery to speak with Dr. Craig Jonov. Dr. Jonov is a cosmetic surgeon in Seattle who has perfected several modern cosmetic techniques. To learn more about the types of procedures that he performs and the methods he uses to perform them, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

1. Look For A Surgeon Who Is Adept At Many Different Cosmetic Procedures

There are benefits to consulting a surgeon who understands several cosmetic treatments. A broad knowledge and skill-set translates into a more refined understanding of cosmetic surgery.

Also, if you plan to have more than one procedure, a well-rounded cosmetic surgeon can perform certain ones simultaneously, saving you time and money.

2. They Should Continue Educating Themselves In The Field

Cosmetic surgery is an extremely dynamic field. This means two things: First, your surgeon should be making an effort to keep up on new and evolving ideas about safety and technique. Second, they should be able to offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures.

3. Make Sure They Are Board-Certified

Board certification is a must-have for any cosmetic surgeon. WebMD explains that you should make sure to only consider surgeons who are both board-certified and members of professional associations. To be certified, a surgeon must have earned a diploma from a medical school, completed five years of residency and scored highly on in-depth examinations.

To help you with your selection process, Dr. Jonov offers a free initial consultation to prospective clients. In addition to being board-certified, Dr. Jonov holds membership in the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, among others.

3 FAQs About Facelifts

February 6, 2014 By

It’s unavoidable. One day, you wake up and look in the mirror to see a face that looks older and more tired than you feel. That is a part of life, but living with those telltale signs of aging doesn’t have to be. If you are ready to reclaim your youth and regain a younger, healthier-looking face, then a facelift may be right for you.

There once was a time when only one facelift technique was available, and it involved stretching the facial skin. But today, new procedures allow surgeons to shift the face’s subcutaneous fat and muscles to achieve unprecedented control over the final appearance. The goal of any experienced surgeon is to leave you looking like a younger, more refreshed version of yourself.

If you are considering a facelift, we would like to offer a complimentary consultation to give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have. At the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, we proudly offer facelifts to Seattle residents, and our aim is to provide natural and aesthetically pleasing results. To schedule your consultation, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!

1. Am I A Good Candidate For A Facelift?

Good candidates for facelifts are typically between the ages of 40 and 70. But everyone’s skin ages differently, so older patients may be eligible if they still have elasticity in their facial skin. Medical News Today advises that candidates be in good overall health and psychologically stable.

It is important that you avoid any blood-thinning medication during the week before your surgery. Likewise, if you are a smoker, you should not smoke for at least two weeks before your operation date because nicotine can interfere with the healing process.

2. What Can A Cosmetic Surgeon Correct Using A Facelift?

People decide to have a facelift for a variety of reasons, and the specifics of your procedure will match your particular goals. Facelifts can help correct:

  • A loss in facial volume
  • A double-chin caused by age
  • Jowls
  • Marionette Lines
  • Deep lines between the corners of the mouth and nose

Basically, facelifts can fix the major signs of facial aging.

3. What Can I Expect After My Procedure?

Minimal pain, bruising and swelling are common for the first few days after the procedure, and patients should rest for about a week. Recovery might last up to two weeks, at which point the swelling should have dissipated.

Typically, the results last for about a decade, but your genes and lifestyle can add or subtract from that number.

If these answers don’t address all of your questions, we hope that you’ll schedule a complimentary consultation with us to discuss the procedure and how it can help you. During your visit, we will provide a more comprehensive list of ways to prepare for surgery. To schedule a consultation, Call Us At 877-738-4211 Today!
