18 Inviting Arkansas What are the most common plastic surgery procedures? The most popular procedures for women include nose reshaping, liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, face lift, brow lift and tummy tuck. When consulting with a plastic surgeon on any of these procedures, bringing a checklist of questions can help ensure the safety and quality of your procedure. Some questions to ask: Are you board certifi ed by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Many patients are surprised to learn that any licensed medical doctor, regardless of their training, can legally perform plastic surgery and call her or himself a plastic surgeon. When the doctor claims to be "board certifi ed,? ask by which board. Only the ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the area of plastic surgery. Do you have hospital privileges to perform this surgery? Some surgical procedures can be performed in the doctor's offi ce or other outpatient facility, but it is important to fi nd out if the doctor has operating privileges in an accredited hospital for the same procedure you are considering. Before granting hospital privileges, hospital review committees evaluate a surgeon's training and competency for specifi c procedures. Where will you perform my surgery? If it is an offi ce-based facility, ask if it is accredited. Most states don't require this, but the facility can get voluntary accreditation. This means the facility has met stricter requirements and generally denotes a high standard of care. Dr. Ed Love performs his surgeries in the Surgical Pavilion on Baptist Hospital's Campus. Other questions to consider: 1. How many procedures of this type have your performed? 2. What are the risks involved with the procedure? 3. What is the recovery time?

In Dr. Lee's clinic, an ultrasound is performed to check for underlying vein circulation malfunction and, if present, insurance actually covers cost for some treatments!

Whiter, brighter teeth can have an enormous impact when trying to improve your self-image and your look to the outside world. Simply put, you should "give someone the best gift: your smile,? remarks Dr. DJ Dailey. According to the local dentist, the most popular cosmetic dental procedure is dental whitening. It seems to have the best "bang for the buck? effect! From $350 to $600, the procedure varies in cost. The recovery time for teeth whitening is negligible, although there can be some sensitivity in the area treated. However, Dr. Dailey assures that sensitivity can occur but usually passes in a day or two. The winner within the whitening options is the laser or light assisted whitening procedure. It's a procedure that is virtually available to almost set of soon-to-be pearlier whites! However, if a person has active gum disease or decayed teeth, Dr. Dailey does not recommend such patients as viable candidates. Cost associated with this procedure is typically $500 to $700, and is considered the fastest way to whiten teeth. The overall process of teeth whitening makes smiles look better through stain removal and ultimate levelized coloration. But if a candidate has crooked or poorly shaped teeth, the best way to achieve a more youthful and perfect smile would be porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers allow dentists control over the color, shape and apparent position of the teeth. This can create a dramatically improved natural smile or a Hollywood type killer grin. Of course, Dr. Dailey works with patients desires to execute their wishes. Depending on the number of teeth involved in porcelain veneers, costs for such procedures can vary greatly. Expect to pay within the range of $2000 up to $25,000 depending on the level of your need.
