Baltimore, MD — According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, statistics show that breast augmentation ranked number two among all surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures in 2011. Although a popular surgery, results achieved from a breast augmentation can be affected by many different factors, including the surgeon performing the procedure. Board-certified Baltimore plastic surgeon Dr. James Vogel says choosing a surgeon who exhibits the utmost care and attention to a patient’s individual needs can make the difference between achieving one’s desired results. He adds that surgeons should also strive to help patients customize their procedures to enhance the overall surgical experience.
In an effort to aid the formation of an individual treatment plan, Dr. Vogel offers patients a variety of implant options including state-of-the-art memory gel and cohesive gel implants. He also helps patients choose between multiple incision locations, as well as where they want the implant placed in relation to the muscle. He says, “Customizing implant size, style, and placement of incisions provides women unprecedented options to achieve their complete breast augmentation goals.” Although multiple procedural options are important, Dr. Vogel says demonstrating an unyielding commitment to achieving patient goals is essential to a strong patient doctor relationship and a safe, effective procedure.
As a proponent of enhancing all aspects of a cosmetic breast procedure, Dr. Vogel aims to use extreme caution and precision in an effort to limit patients’ recovery time. He says, “Meticulous technique and gentle handling of tissues remain the cornerstone of surgery and faster recovery.” While all results and recovery times vary, Dr. Vogel says he feels experienced surgeons can generally ease the healing process by choosing the best procedural strategy based on each patient’s particular needs. He also says that patients should always consult a board-certified surgeon when interested in receiving plastic surgery in Baltimore because they have the experience and training necessary to ensure safe and ethical treatment.
