If you find yourself looking at, say, the breast augmentation before and after photos on this site and assuming that the cost is beyond your reach, you’re hardly alone. Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S., known more familiarly to his patients as Dr. J, often points out, however, that would-be patients tend to overestimate the cost of procedures, and that cost is rarely the determining factor in whether or not a patient receives a procedure. Unfortunately, too many people seek to reduce the cost of procedures by using cut-rate solutions that, even if they don’t result in permanent damage due to a botched procedure, may end up costing patients dearly in terms of time, heartache, and money spent on costly surgical revisions.
Dr. J strongly encourages patients who might be attracted by images like those on our page of buttock augmentation before and after photos, to insist on a board certified plastic surgeon when considering any such procedure. At the same time, he warns them to be extremely cautious and skeptical when considering so-called medical tourism to save money. While it’s true that not all qualified plastic surgeons reside in the United States, it’s also true that other nations might not have the same safeguards when it comes to ensuring that plastic surgeons are able to perform their duties appropriately.
Whether you are interested in facial rejuvenation, an augmentation procedure, a rhinoplasty, or the kind of results you can see on Dr. J’s page of mommy makeover before and after photos , it’s important to realize that obtaining a plastic surgery is a long way from buying a package of tube socks at a discount store. A fully qualified plastic surgeon is truly the best bargain you can hope for.
