No decision relating to a surgery should ever be taken lightly. After all, it’s your body at stake and you want to be careful with it. Indeed, caution is very warranted as going to a doctor who is not fully qualified to perform a plastic surgery might have the kind of very negative outcomes that occasionally make the press. The main thing is to ensure your doctor is board certified, which guarantees that he or she has met the rigorous standards of a respected plastic surgeons’ organization.
Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S. would like the public to be aware that, before patients can enjoy the kind of outcome you see on his page of rhinoplasty before and after photos, they must first make sure not to cut corners. We’ve all read the horror stories about botched procedures, and they really can happen if patients try to save money by going to a physician (or, much worse, a non-physician) who may not be qualified at all.
Fortunately, there are many outstanding choices to be made. Dr. J, as Dr. Jarrah-Nejad is more familiarly known, is actually double board certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He is also an active member of the most prestigious organization in his field, but the important thing is to choose a doctor you know is capable of achieving the kind of results you’re looking for. If, for example, you are looking for reconstructive work following a partial mastectomy, a look at Dr. J’s page of breast reconstruction before and after photos might very well be instructive.
The most important thing is to stay alert and be sure you’re working with a reputable and experienced doctor. Plastic surgery is often less expensive than most people assume, but poorly performed plastic surgeries can have a truly enormous cost.
