SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2022 / "Image is everything" was a quotation popularized long before the age of the Internet, so no one back then could have foreseen how important image would become to people in the social-media age. In 2022, most of us will see more images in the course of a week than most people in previous generations saw in an entire lifespan. We view pictures of faces and bodies each day, often photoshopped to perfection, and psychologists are just scratching the surface of the effects that this exposure to idealized human faces and bodies has upon us. The increase in the popularity of plastic surgery is one possible indicator. Growing alongside this demand is a wave of loosely regulated surgery practitioners entering the plastic surgery market with minimal training and, possibly, ethics. Natural Results Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Arizona, led by Dr. Carlos Mata, also known as "Dr. Scottsdale®," is working to solve these issues by leading the industry in implementing higher standards for both surgeon qualifications and patient ethics.
The Growing Problem of Unqualified Plastic Surgery Practitioners
One potential effect of our image-conscious culture is the increasing demand for plastic surgery. In the pursuit of the ideal face and body, women and men alike are undergoing more procedures. With the increased interest in plastic surgery comes, perhaps inevitably, doctors who claim to be cosmetic surgeons but who perform procedures beyond the scope of their training, ultimately practicing plastic surgery without being board-certified.
Additionally, doctors who are considered board-certified cosmetic surgeons will sometimes present themselves as plastic surgeons and perform procedures for which they have minimal training. This presents a potential problem for clients who want to go under the knife, as they might struggle to ascertain the difference between those who are qualified and those who are not.
How Natural Results Plastic Surgery Is Working to Implement Higher Standards in Plastic Surgery
The practice states, "We have a firm commitment to clearly communicating with our patients about their desired outcomes in a way that potentially minimizes long-term effects, and we have high standards for surgeons that exceed industry benchmarks."
Continuing, Natural Results Plastic Surgery adds that Dr. Scottsdale® and his team believe that less is more. "By doing minimally invasive surgery and avoiding unnecessary procedures, we are working to help people feel better both about themselves and about an industry that at times has had a negative reputation."
The practice works to implement more transparency in the plastic surgery industry and advocates for anyone who has done cosmetic surgery to be obligated to report what their actual and formal training was in.
"For example, if you were an oral surgeon, internal medicine doctor, or OB/GYN doctor performing breast augmentations, your patients should know and should not be misled into believing that plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons are the same thing because they aren't," Natural Results Plastic Surgery states.
To foster more confidence in plastic surgery, the practice says that it has prioritized selectivity in its staff, whose qualifications include being board-certified plastic surgeons and having over ten years of experience in general and plastic surgery.
As a result of its efforts, Natural Results Plastic Surgery believes that more people are expressing an interest in having plastic surgery. "We have heard from our patients that they appreciate the work we have done to improve the image of plastic surgery, and we are very appreciative of the trust they place in us."
