Follow on Google News | Aesthetic Goals Must Align With Good Medicine, Plastic Surgeon SaysDr. Louis C. Cutolo, a plastic surgery specialist in breast augmentation on Staten Island, discusses the role of an experienced surgeon in helping patients find cosmetic enhancement options that meet their goals but are also safe and healthy.
By: Louis C. Cutolo Jr. Dr. Cutolo is a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons®, which both have stringent ethical standards, and he says his role is to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals through safe and healthy routes. "I see many patients interested in breast augmentation on Staten Island, and I always ask them to explain everything they know about the procedure," Dr. Cutolo says. "I like to know how much homework they have done before coming to see me, and it also helps me understand how much educating I need to do before we discuss surgical particulars. Sometimes patients are sure they want a certain option, and they don't realize it's not a healthy choice." Dr. Cutolo cites an example from an article in The Telegraph that detailed a patient's painful experience with overly large breast implants. If the surgeon had provided the patient with more education prior to the procedure, it could have helped her avoid a negative experience, Dr. Cutolo says. He says he's seen more patients in recent years who have come into his office feeling sure about what options they wanted, likely due to the rise of online information and the direct marketing of product manufacturers to consumers. "It's great for patients to do research before they come in for a consultation," The solution is finding a qualified physician who maintains ethical standards, rather than one who simply caters to patient requests, he says. In general, having knowledgeable discussions with a board-certified plastic surgeon beforehand can help prevent unsafe procedures from happening.
