Patient Selection and Preoperative Assessment
The goal of surgical indications and preoperative assessments for each patient is to select candidates for cosmetic surgery to avoid any risks or potential complications. When complications do occur, they are rare and mostly cause no long-term inconvenience.
In Case of Verified Complications
Physical complications can be categorized into four types: anesthesia-related complications, postoperative bleeding, infections, and scarring. The vast majority of these complications occur during or immediately after the surgery. Therefore, they can be immediately managed on-site by the medical team. It is crucial to follow the convalescence period recommended by the surgeon in the country, as it allows for better patient monitoring.
In Case of Unsatisfactory Results
It should be known that most results require a long waiting period before becoming definitive. Therefore, the patient-practitioner relationship is fundamental for the trust that the patient must have in their surgeon. Often, the surgeon will advise the patient to wait until the definitive result. If dissatisfaction arises, a photo-based evaluation will be conducted. If there is an evident lack of results, a retouch will be arranged by the surgeon. In case of dispute, an independent surgeon's opinion will be sought.
Ethics and Medical Code of Conduct
It's good to remember that all our partner surgeons are obligated to strictly adhere to the rules of ethics and the medical code of conduct. In case of any issues, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up care and all necessary and appropriate treatments to the patient.
