Renaissance Plastic Surgery

I recently took a vacation to Yelapa, Mexico and had the opportunity to venture a little beyond my comfort zone. Yelapa is a beautiful fishing village south of Peurto Vallarta, with great food and wonderful people. It also happens to be one of the paragliding capitals of the world. What is paragliding, you ask? Essentially you jump off a cliff with a parachute, catch the wind and fly like a bird! After some careful thought, a little research and a couple of Corona's, I was going to go for it.

All of this reminded me of what many of my patients deal with when they choose to have plastic surgery. Like many things in life, there are risks. We take chances and weigh the risks versus the benefits. Patients often have the concerns of anesthesia risks, how will they look and how much pain will they experience. To mitigate the risks of surgery, I always recommend that the patient research my credentials and the anesthesiologist's certifications, talk to my previous patients and fell comfortable with me as their surgeon. In a way, I serve a similar role to my patients as the flight instructor I had while on vacation. Had he not been qualified or not done this sort of thing 2000+ times before, I would have never agreed to run down a short embankment, jump off a cliff and have the ride of my life!
