Dr. George Sanders, MDVerified

Approach

• Also, I think it's always good to talk more about what bothers you about something, not necessarily showing the way you want it to look, but let the doctor have the opportunity to say, okay, this is what bothers you. Let's talk about how we can do something about it
• Those sorts of things, just as they are in a younger woman treated with a tummy tuck, they can be treated in an older woman with a tummy tuck as well

Specialization

• Together, they allow me to restore the abdomen and refine the surrounding contours for a more balanced result

Technique

• That's why I often perform a neck lift and chin augmentation together
• So perhaps a breast reduction to reduce the size of the breast along with the uplift

Training & credentials

• After a few decades in plastic surgery, you develop a pretty reliable “please don’t do that” radar

Consultation

• Instead, I prefer real life photos, the way you look naturally, or maybe with some realistic modifications, and then we can talk about those
• Rather than trying to recreate someone else's features, I encourage patients to focus on the specific concerns they'd like to improve
• The doctor's initial consultation process does not begin with discussing procedures.

Recovery guidance

• For instance, if you've had a facelift, we say, OK, you really need to take it very easy for a couple of weeks
• Breast augment is fine after a few days, but things like tummy tuck, facelifts, or major surgeries, give yourself two weeks

Results

• If delivering natural-looking results is wrong... I don't want to be right
