Information overload can make research overwhelming. Do not overdo. Too much of marketing makes it difficult to distinguish professionally credible information from financially motivated scare tactics. There are still a good number of actual caring and ethical doctors. Advancement in medical procedures and technologies combined with higher standards for results is an opportunity for patients to find the right super specialist for them.
Afterall what youare choosing here is a surgical procedure for yourself or your loved ones. Surgery is a SURGERY. It can be associated with their risks and benefits. For every surgical procedure to be performed, there is risk benefit ratio.No surgery is totally risk free and problem free. They can be minimised with meticulous approach in procedure and timely interventionin case of any problem.
It's often perceived that a busy practice is a sign that the doctor is good. Although I'm busy, I never rush through a consultation. The consultation is a critically important time for you to learn and see if the doctor has a persona you feel you can trust with your or your loved ones health and appearance. A consultation is two way healthy discussion. In my practice, the patient isn't only selecting me but I'm also selecting the patient. I avoid performing procedures on people who I'm not comfortable with. By the end of consultation, you should be comfortable with your doctor.
You will be left with questions if you donot ask questions during consultation. Ask for a step-by-step explanation of the procedure you're looking into, including what type of anaesthesia. I find that a patient who asks questions also learns about options they didn't think about and have a better outcome.
There may be a combination of 2 or 3 different treatments which can lead to a better outcome. You could have come to us with query regarding a procedure but on examination we could advice you to think about an accessory procedure also for better results.
An issue, which appears to be a surgical problem may also be associated with a medical condition. Always disclose every detail about your medical history so your procedure can be performed safely and successfully.
Do not fall for marketing gimmicks by the companies. There often are better ways to do things, but there are no shortcuts. Shortcuts in surgery do not end well.
When you consult an experienced surgeon, you might think, "Oh, he or she has done a lot of these procedures before, they'll know what to do right away." Like no two persons are same, similarly no two surgeries performed are same. The same surgery performed on two different individuals can give different results in both. All individuals are unique, because their body, medical history is unlike anyone else's, so communication is key. It is important that you are able to articulate what is expected, so that the surgeon may be aligned with those goals and develop a proper understanding of what is important to you, and what is motivating you to take this step and whether that can be delivered or not with minimum problems.
Having realistic expectations as to the results and the speed of full healing needs to be well understood before having any procedure. Whatever procedure done, still will have a downtime of healing and might have little problems like bruising, swelling. In some cases, it could be less. Be patient and trust the procedure and process. In case of any unforeseen complication, trust and listen to the doctor.Wedo not wantany procedure to get complicated which could keep you in distress. If it has happened, we are with you on this ALWAYS till you are completely fine.
