Dr. Tracy Hankins Provides Patient Tips For Safe Plastic Surgery Procedures



 
    LAS VEGAS, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The recent death of Donda West,
 rapper Kanye West's mother, raised questions about the safety of plastic
 surgery. The factors contributing to her untimely death are still emerging
 and include concerns over her physician's lack of board certification and
 his decision to combine procedures in a lengthy surgery. "Patients should
 be reassured that Donda West's tragic outcome is unusual," said Dr. Tracy
 Hankins of Ariana Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center. "Complications are
 uncommon if your surgery is performed in a safe manner," he emphasized.
     Popular cosmetic surgery shows have given people the idea that only one
 surgery is necessary for a head-to-toe transformation. Dr. Hankins said
 that cosmetic surgery shows are a good way to increase people's awareness
 of plastic surgery's benefits, but may also dangerously skew a patient's
 expectations.
     Dr. Hankins offered these tips to minimize plastic surgery risks:
 
     1) Verify your physician is board certified in plastic surgery. Board
        certification demonstrates that your doctor meets professional
        standards. "Most doctors certified by the American Board of Plastic
        Surgery list that on their web site," said Dr. Hankins. Patients can
        visit the American Board of Medical Specialties at http://www.abms.org
        to check their doctor's certification.
 
     2) Seek several opinions. "Speak with several board certified plastic
        surgeons and understand that the most conservative recommendations may
        come from the surgeons who are most concerned with your safety and
        well-being," said Dr. Hankins.
 
     3) Discuss how many surgeries will be necessary to achieve the result you
        want.
 
     4) Ask your doctor to explain the risks associated with your medical
        background and profile. Your age, weight, and health are all factors.
 
     5) Verify that your doctor is operating in an accredited facility.
 
     6) Ask about post-operative care. If complications do arise, it is
        imperative that you seek care immediately.
