Plastic Surgeon Answers Questions on RealSelf.com

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. - June 10, 2013 - PRLog -- When people post questions on RealSelf.com about everything from BOTOX® to breast augmentation, Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. James Romanelli is one of the highly experienced physicians who is there to answer.

As a result, the online forum has become one of the world's top resources for information about all types of cosmetic procedures. Dr. Romanelli was invited to join the RealSelf community of physician experts in 2009.

Dr. Romanelli is one of the leading plastic surgeons on Long Island, and is especially renowned for his expertise with breast procedures. On RealSelf, he fields many breast-surgery related questions.

"Breast procedures are very popular, and the amount of information out there can be overwhelming," Dr. Romanelli says. "When women go to RealSelf.com, they can trust they're getting accurate information from physicians who specialize in these procedures."

He recently posted his answer to a question from a woman concerned about selecting the wrong size breast implants. He explained that many doctors use silicone forms called sizers, which women can place under their clothes to get an idea of how various size implants will look.

"This woman had a serious concern, one that was hindering her ability to make important decisions about her surgery" Dr. Romanelli says. "I like to think that I was able to help her move forward and possibly have a better breast augmentation experience."

The website also provides a brief profile of Dr. Romanelli, as well as testimonials from his patients and before-and-after photos of his work.

Dr. Romanelli offers a full range of procedures for the face and body as well, such as facelift (http://www.jrcs.com/surgical/facelift.cfm) and tummy tuck (http://www.jrcs.com/surgical/tummy-tuck.cfm), at his New York City area practice. The board-certified plastic surgeon, who has more than 23 years of experience, says he enjoys answering questions about surgical and non-surgical procedures for the RealSelf.com community.

"It's one more way that I can help educate people about cosmetic surgery and help them decide if a particular procedure is right for them," he says. "Patients who have researched their treatment options not only have an easier time explaining what they hope to achieve through surgery, but they also tend to be more confident and self-assured about the entire surgical process."
