How To Choose A Certified Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon In Thailand

When choosing a plastic surgeon, it is important to consider a number of factors. Medical training and surgical experience are primary indicators of the surgeon’s qualifications.  Board certification is another important criterion. No single factor can guarantee you the best doctor for a specific procedure. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which surgeon is best for your specific goals and expectations.

To become a plastic surgeon, a doctor must obtain an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree. Following this, there are several paths the doctor may follow. Many doctors now spend five to six years in an integrated plastic surgery residency, although some complete three years of general surgery and two years in plastic surgery. 

What does it mean to be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

Choosing a Board certified surgeon can be a very tough job because of the personal information being shared. Just open the yellow pages, magazines, brochures or view news paper advertisements and you’ll find plastic surgeons promoting all kinds of society memberships and board certifications but don’t be confused between boards and societies. Societies are merely professional associations. Board certification is the minimum criterion you should use in selecting a plastic surgeon. So, it is very important that you learn about the doctor’s education, training, certification, and experience in order to guarantee a successful outcome and to make the best choice.

Beware of lots of Letters after the Doctor’s Name:
Many fraudulent doctors’ have quite a few letters after their names. In fact, multiple letters may be the telltale sign of an inadequately trained doctor trying to impress the public. Definitely, your doctor should have the letters M.D (Medical Doctor) or D.O (Doctor of Osteopathy) after his name. He might even have one or more master’s degrees or might also have PhD but these degrees are irrelevant to plastic surgery. Patients are advised to select a board certified plastic surgeon.

Guide to choose a Plastic Surgeon:

• Get Referrals: Begin your search for a plastic surgeon by asking friends, relatives, family doctor, colleagues that are willing to meet with you and share their results of the surgery. Hospital staff such as nurses, surgeons and anesthesiologist is also excellent sources of referrals. You may also do research on the internet, magazines, or in the yellow pages. Chances are a few names will stand out from the others. It will help give you the best possible recommendations.

• Check the qualifications of the surgeon: One of the most important qualifications you should look for in a plastic surgeon is that they are board certified but you must need to know what board has certified your plastic surgeon and be sure that the surgeon has graduated from an accredited medical school.

• Meet the surgeon: Look at pictures of past procedures done by the surgeon. Choose an ethical and confident surgeon and friendly staff members for a long lasting relationship and you should expect good communication, understanding and comfort from the surgeon.

Why Thailand?

How VASER Lipo Works?

VASER Lipo uses a minimally invasive technique calledLipoSelection^® to selectively break apart and gently remove unwanted fat.

To begin the procedure, the targeted area is injected with a special saline solution known as "tumescent fluid." Tumescent fluid numbs the target area and shrinks local blood vessels. It also temporarily expands the volume of the targeted area, making fat cells easier to remove.

Small-diameter probes are then inserted into the body through small incisions. By resonating at a high ultrasonic frequency, the probes literally shake loose fat cells — while leaving blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues unharmed.

The loose fat cells mix with the tumescent fluid, which is then removed from the body using gentle suction.

After the surgery, patients are prescribed a recovery regimen to promote maximum skin retraction and smooth results. Your physician may recommend massage therapy to enhance results and speed recovery.

 

Visualizing VASER Lipo

Infiltration

The fatty layer is injected with tumescent fluid.


Ultrasonic energy delivery

The high frequency vibration of VASER^® ultrasonic probes causes the fat cells to shake apart and combine into the tumescent fluid.


Aspiration

 Loose fat is easily removed via specially designed suction tubes.


Skin retraction

 During the healing process, skin will retract to give smooth, natural-looking results.

VASER Liposuction

Latest, third generation ULTRASONIC liposuction technique that is designed to virtually eliminate bleeding during surgery and to reduce inflammation and bruising. VASER Ultrasound technology literally liquefies the fat, which allows for greater precision and vastly superior results.

 

Ideal candidate for Vaser Liposuction

All candidates for liposuction should have realistic expectations of the results that can be achieved through the procedure and should be in good physical and mental health. The best candidate is someone who is in excellent health, is within 25 pounds of his or her ideal body weight, and has deposits of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise.
 

At the consultation

You should express your desires and expectations from the surgical procedures. The surgeon will evaluate your medical health and explain the surgical techniques available to you. Your question will be answered as thoroughly as possible.  Examinations of your trouble are will be performed. The surgeon will go over the risks and potential complications of the procedure, as well as, the pre-operative and post –operative process.


Risk Factors

All surgeries carry some risks. Listed below are the risks or potential complications:

The risks of VASER liposuction are very similar to the liposuction risks associated with any other method. However, because LipoSelection minimizes damage to other body tissues, patients typically experience less pain and fewer side effects than with other forms of liposuction. Serious liposuction complications are quite rare. Fat clots or blood clots may form, and there is a chance these will migrate to the lungs and cause serious illness. The fluid loss that results from liposuction will be anticipated by a qualified doctor, as it can cause low blood pressure, friction burns, or fluid buildup. The LipoSelection probe’s ultrasound energy may injure the skin or deeper tissues; although in most cases the benefits of the ultrasound system make it safer than traditional liposuction. If a doctor inexperienced with the LipoSelection procedure applies too much fluid, the wetting solution may collect in the lungs. If there is too much lidocaine in the liposuction solution, lidocaine toxicity may develop.
 

Before the surgery

At this time, you will be given an opportunity to ask any further questions. Continuation of healthy diet and exercise is very important before the surgery. Smoking must be stopped at least two weeks before the surgery
 

On the day of the operation

No eating or drinking for 8 hours before the surgery.  You should wear loose fitting clothing and sneakers. Do not wear sandals or slippers. You will meet with our nurse to prepare you for surgery. The surgeon will discuss the procedure with you again and do pre-operative planning. You will meet with our anesthesia provider to discuss anesthesia. You will be given a choice of day surgery or general anesthesia which required at least one day hospital stay depend on your choice but normally if it is an extensive surgery,   we required 4 days and 3 night’s hospital stay.
 

Anesthesia used

This procedure can be performed using local or general anesthesia.
 

 During the surgery

First, the area to be sculpted is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making fat easier to break up with the VASER System’s sound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye) that breaks up fat on contact, while leaving other important tissues relatively intact. Finally, gentle suction of the sculpted site removes the emulsified fat quickly. Thanks to its patented technology, only the LipoSelection procedure first emulsifies and then removes fat in this manner.
 

Post Operative Expectation

The treated area will be wrap with compression garments snugly and continuously for 6 days-2wks. Usually drains are placed removing excess fluid over a period of 2-3 days.
 

 Back to normal work

Regular exercise work out may start after 2 weeks, start with light exercise then gradually move your way up to your regular routine as tolerated by your body.

Traditional liposuction versus Vaser High Definition

 What high definition liposculpture does is to remove the deep and superficial fat which blocks the detail of the underlying muscles

While the goal of a regular liposuction procedure is just to trim away fat to make a patient slimmer, Vaser Hi Def demands a surgeon to go one step further going into places previously off limits to liposuction and sculpting the body in such a way never before achieved by conventional liposuction.

What is Vaser High Definition?

VASER High Definition (VHD) is an advanced body contouring technique. It is performed with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technology (Liposelection, VASER).The results reveal a sculpted, well toned, natural musculature intended generally for fit men and women who seek greater visibility of their muscular detail.

Ideal candidates for VASER High Definition

Since high definition liposculpture is designed to be a sculpting procedure rather than a debulking technique, the appropriate candidate is the person who has good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or lax skin. Vaser Hi Def is most effective for those who are already physically fit, and seek to add an even greater, more chiseled and sculpted look to their efforts. The procedure can change the perception about liposuction and should be viewed as an adjunct to a fitness program and not as a failure to treatment.
