Plastic Surgery

Description:

Plastic surgeons are highly skilled physicians who specialize in the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. With a focus on both aesthetics and functionality, plastic surgery can be divided into two main categories: reconstructive and cosmetic. Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to treat various conditions such as infection, tumors, disease, congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, or trauma that affect the appearance or function of different body parts. On the other hand, cosmetic plastic surgery focuses on enhancing or reshaping specific body parts to improve overall appearance. General Responsibilities: 1. Provide consultations, take patient histories, and examine their files to determine the most suitable surgical options. 2. Conduct thorough examinations of patients to assess any deformities or illnesses that require surgical intervention. 3. Clearly outline all the potential risks and benefits associated with the proposed surgery prior to the procedure. 4. Apply appropriate reconstructive, cosmetic, and corrective medical treatments to address patients' specific needs. 5. Perform surgical procedures on patients seeking augmentation or beautification of certain body parts. 6. Administer various non-invasive treatments to enhance patients' appearance. 7. Ensure that all surgical equipment is properly sterilized to maintain a safe and sterile environment. 8. Prescribe medication, such as painkillers and antibiotics, and provide aftercare advice to patients. 9. Schedule follow-up appointments to remove stitches, inspect incisions, and monitor patients' healing progress. 10. Assess patients' psychological health to ensure they are mentally prepared for the surgical process. 11. Maintain strict confidentiality of all patient information in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.
