Naturally, proper training and credentials are essential. These qualifications indicate that the cosmetic surgeon you select has the proper training and that he adheres to the highest standards of medical practice. Cleveland consumers should look for a cosmetic surgeon with specialized training similar to that of renowned board certified Avon Lake plastic surgeon Dr. Vicente Poblete.
In addition to completion of a five-year general surgery training program at St. Vincent's Hospital & Medical Center in New York, Dr. Poblete has completed advanced training specifically in plastic surgery including hand surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, surgical facial aesthetics and the latest body contouring procedures. A member of plastic surgery's most prestigious professional organizations, Dr. Poblete is active in the Lorain County medical community where he has served as a member of the Lorain County Medical Society Board of Directors and Community Health Partner's Board of Trustees, among other honors.
But exceptional medical credentials do not guarantee that you will have a satisfying or satisfactory cosmetic surgery experience. Beyond education and training, there are many intangible elements that affect the quality of a patient's plastic surgery experience. It is attention to the goals, needs and solicitous physical and emotional care of each individual patient that guarantees a successful and rejuvenating cosmetic surgery experience. As Dr. Poblete says to prospective patients on the Accentuate Within website:
"My staff and I have placed value on patient education and comfort, patient safety and patient satisfaction, as well as providing you with the highest medical care possible. We pride ourselves in the way we relate with and care for our patients and for their personal experience with our practice – it defines who we are."
When you visit your general practitioner, a medical specialist or a plastic surgeon, you might not immediately look at the framed diplomas and certificates on your doctor's wall, but you'd be mighty uncomfortable if they weren't there. In the medical field, a college diploma is just the first step toward becoming a knowledgeable, practicing physician. Years of practical residency experience and specialized training follow the awarding of a college degree. Certification by professional medical boards indicates that the plastic surgeon has accomplished an even more advanced level of training in cosmetic surgery techniques and procedures and has proved his mastery of advanced knowledge in the specific field of plastic surgery.
In 2008, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned consumers about the importance of verifying physician credentials and the potential danger of undergoing plastic surgery performed by unlicensed individuals. The warning came in the wake of the near death of three North Carolina women by an individual advertising cosmetic surgery procedures. All three of the women developed potentially fatal kidney failure following soft-tissue filler injections by this charlatan doctor. Fortunately, all of the women recovered. Authorities discovered that the individual was not a licensed cosmetic surgeon and he was arrested. Investigation found the individual's medical training to be limited to radiology; in effect, he was an x-ray technician. The CDC recommended that consumers ask for proof of an individual's statement of training, noting that a plastic surgeon's board certification is the most convincing evidence of his training.
Medical specialties like plastic and cosmetic surgery are certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties which sets education, training, experience and testing requirements for each unique medical specialty. Successful completion of all requirements results in board certification.
While women across America will rise before dawn in pursuit of incredible door buster bargains, your personal Mr. Wonderful will probably hide under the covers before braving the stores. Men as a species are not known for their affinity for shopping. Most men seem to lack the critical shopping gene.
The phenomenon doesn't seem to be limited to my house alone. An Experian survey of 7,000 adults found that 14% of men do their shopping at the last minute, plucking up the first likely gift they find from the thinning selection at the mall. More than a third of men polled said they solve the gift-shopping problem by giving gift cards or gift certificates. And more men, particularly those under 35, have turned to Internet shopping; overnight shipping having solved the advanced planning problem.
Given the realities of male holiday shopping, you have to ask yourself if you really want another Radio Shack gift card or another bottle of musky perfume for your gift this year. Perhaps it's time to step in and tell your sweetie what you really want this year. Encourage your special someone to give you a gift that will bring you (and him) joy and pleasure for years to come. Customized body contouring and cosmetic surgery give your body a lift and your self-esteem a boost.
From Mommy Makeovers to tummy tucks, face lifts, breast augmentations, specialized skin treatments and more, cosmetic surgery with Accentuate Within is a gift you'll enjoy every time you look in the mirror. Rejuvenate your body and your spirit with Cleveland cosmetic surgery by expert board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Poblete in Avon Lake, Ohio.
