Who is a good candidate for plastic surgery?

All patients and procedures are different, and many surgeries are complex in nature. This means Dr Laniewski will need to assess each person’s particular circumstances to determine whether they are suitable for surgery. In other words, candidates for plastic surgery are those who have been assessed and accepted as candidates by a qualified plastic surgeon during a consultation.

Dr Laniewski looks for health status and lifestyle to determine good candidates. A healthy person who has a balanced diet, a stable weight, and is a non-smoker is often more physically prepared to undergo the surgical recovery process.

Another factor is the patient’s goals. Dr Laniewski needs to understand the patient’s goals, preferences and desired results to advise the most suitable treatment approach. He will also help patients understand their risks, recovery process, and realistically what results can be expected.

As post-operative healing is an important phase in the process, patients should also be prepared to follow aftercare guidance. This includes avoiding exercise for an advised period of time, practising appropriate wound care, and taking enough time off work to recover. Find out if you are a candidate by discussing your needs and expectations with Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Laniewski.

Your consultations with Dr Laniewski

Before surgery, patients typically have several consultations with Dr Peter Laniewski. This process is necessary to establish whether they are candidates, what they hope to achieve, and what kind of surgical treatment plan would be most suitable.

The first consultation allows patients to learn about what to expect from their desired procedure and whether it suits their particular needs and goals. It also allows Dr Laniewski to enquire about their health, expectations, and any other relevant details. Then, you can discuss an approach to surgery and decide whether you wish to proceed. For example, if you are seeking a breast procedure involving implants, you may discuss the type, shape, size, and placement of the implants. Dr Laniewski can advise the most appropriate options based on your individual needs.

Following this, a second consultation allows patients to finalise their decision and ensure they have all the information and support they need in the lead-up to the procedure. It is a good idea to come to your consultations prepared with any required details about your health and any questions you wish to ask. The better informed you are, the better you can make educated, well-founded decisions regarding your body and surgery.

If you are unsure of how to begin your surgical journey, we are here to help. Contact us to book your private appointment with Dr Laniewski in Central Coast.

Plastic surgery risks & complications

Deciding to get plastic surgery requires an adequate knowledge of the risks involved. While many of these risks are common across procedures, it is important to also discuss the specific risks of your chosen surgery. Some patients may also be at a higher risk for certain complications if they have underlying conditions or health issues.

Generally, surgery comes with the risk of the following complications:

  • Infection – This occurs when a wound becomes infected with bacteria. Patients can help avoid this complication by performing the proper wound care.
  • Scarring – Scars occur with any surgery. However, the extent and visibility of the scarring may depend on the type of surgery, incision placement, and aftercare.
  • Reactions to anaesthesia – Anaesthesia carries the risk of allergic reactions, nausea, and, in rare cases, critical complications.
  • Bleeding – Some amount of bleeding is expected in most surgical procedures, but an excess of bleeding is a less common potential complication.
  • Seroma – Seroma occurs when fluid collects under the skin in the surgical area. It is not typically dangerous; however, patients may need to have the fluid drained.
  • Nerve damage – Nerve damage, or damage to underlying structures during surgery, can occur, possibly leading to pain, tingling, or numbness.
  • Poor healing – Poor wound healing or prolonged pain after surgery is a potential complication. To aid the recovery process, ensure that you follow the given aftercare instructions.
  • Poor results – Dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcomes of the surgery is possible. Even with an experienced surgeon, there is a risk that the procedure may not meet your expectations.
  • Severe complications – Life-threatening complications such as blood clots are rare but can occur.

These complications are possible no matter the experience level of the surgeon. That being said, choosing a less-qualified surgeon can exacerbate potential problems and put a patient at a higher risk. This means your choice of practitioner is highly important when undergoing any surgery.
