New York City Plastic Surgeon Publishes Online Walkthrough of Breast Augmentation

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2013) - Dr. Stafford R. Broumand has based his New York plastic surgery practice on the principle of providing patients with custom-tailored treatments that achieve their individual cosmetic goals. As a believer that well-informed patients are better able to communicate their surgical goals, Dr. Broumand has recently published a number of blog posts on his website to educate prospective breast augmentation patients on all aspects of the procedure -- from consultation to recovery.

In a blog post titled "Breast Augmentation Virtual Consultation With Manhattan Plastic Surgeon," Dr. Broumand explains that his initial goal is to understand the specific concerns of each of his patients. Because each patient has different goals in mind, a lot of time is spent on initiating clear lines of communication about patient desires and realistic surgical expectations. Dr. Broumand states: "My goal is to develop a relationship so we both understand each other, so we're both on the same page and speaking the same language to ensure our goals are aligned."

Once a patient's medical history and physical health have been cleared, there is typically no extended waiting period necessary for the patient. In fact, some of Dr. Broumand's patients have their procedure performed within a few days of their consultation. However, Dr. Broumand says he wants to make sure patients are as comfortable as possible before the procedure takes place, and he sees and talks to them as much as needed until they feel ready. Before the day of surgery, Dr. Broumand and the patient will decide on the size and shape of the breast implants as well as the surgical approach and technique. All aspects of the procedure are decided with the patient's unique goals in mind. Dr. Broumand walks prospective patients through the day of procedure in his blog post titled "Breast Augmentation Preparation And Day Of Surgery At NYC Plastic Surgery Practice."

In a subsequent blog entry titled "Breast Augmentation Recovery: Follow Up With Our NYC Plastic Surgery Practice," Dr. Broumand discusses what patients will likely experience their first night after the procedure. He notes that each patient is contacted in the evening to make sure they are feeling well. Most of his patients report that within 48 hours, any stiffness or soreness should be significantly reduced. Within two weeks, his patients are often able to return to their normal exercise routines. "We'll typically have you come back 6 weeks following the procedure, then at the 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month marks."

The New York City plastic surgeon says he is committed to being available for his breast augmentation patients from the pre-operative process through the recovery period in order to ensure the best possible care. Through this latest blog series, Dr. Broumand says he hopes women who are considering breast augmentation can get a general idea of what the treatment process entails. He says this information can help them to have a fuller understanding of what they can expect, and assure them that they are encouraged to ask questions and have any concerns addressed in thorough detail.
