What can I expect from cosmetic surgery?
The best effect of cosmetic surgery, bar none, is an improved outlook on life; you can feel healthier and better about yourself. Cosmetic surgery can also slow down the aging process. What it can not do, however, is stop the clock. Patients should expect to see a younger-looking, more confident self. The outcome of plastic and cosmetic surgeries depends on the kind of procedure being performed and on the body type of the patient.
It also depends on the goal of the surgery. Not all procedures are meant to deliver dramatic outcomes; sometimes subtlety is more important than measurable inches. Thus, results are very specific, and hard to quantify in general terms. Dr. Russo’s goal is to provide the highest level of personalized, safe care that leaves patients feeling improvements in both their appearance and their sense of self. Surgery should be a worthwhile experience for the mind and body and not a stressful ordeal. Dr. Russo’s technique, unlike many managed care facilities, considers each patient’s desires and preferences. The doctor’s approach is to treat the whole person, from pre-op to post-op care.
