We all know that learning – whether through formal instruction or experience – has a great many benefits . However, the kind of education we’re talking about here doesn’t require schoolwork, just an in-depth discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon. Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S. is one physician who has made a point of ensuring that all of his patients are thoroughly educated about their procedures.
Study after study has shown that patients who have realistic expectations about the likely outcomes of their procedures are more likely to report a high level of satisfaction following their work. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of helping patients understand their options. For example, many rhinoplasty (nose job) patients who may also have issues with their chin may be interested to know that adding chin implants in Beverly Hills at the same time as their procedure will allow Dr. J to ensure that the two procedures fully complement each other.
At the same time, it’s important for patients to understand the limits of a procedure. Male breast reductions to deal with gynecomastia in Beverly Hills at Dr. J’s office can help men to achieve a more normally masculine look. At the same time, it won’t necessarily add a strongly muscular appearance to the pectoral area, and it’s important that the patient understands this to avoid undue disappointment.
Indeed, each procedure Dr. J performs has very real benefits, but also some limitations. The kind of arm or thigh lift Beverly Hills patients often receive may tighten up the appearance of a limb, but it can’t create muscles where none exist…that actually requires exercise! There are all sorts of reasons that patient education is an important part of receiving a plastic surgery. As a double-board certified plastic surgeon with years of experience behind him, Dr. J is definitely qualified to provide that very important information.
