What is Aesthetic Plastic Surgery?

Aesthetic surgery is a branch of medicine that requires great dedication to be successful. To become a surgeon of this type requires a great detail of training and certification. Today, I most commonly perform breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift, lower body lift, and other similar procedures.

Started out as a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon.

While I always had a great interest in this type of surgery, I didn’t start out as a cosmetic surgeon. In fact, I was more of a reconstructive surgeon. I worked on the reconstruction of complicated wounds and injuries for many years. The vast majority of this work was done at a major university and many of the surgeons I used to work with, at that time, have also moved on into private practice.

Remembering past Plastic Surgery Experiences.

Sometimes, it is good to reminisce and think back to those days where creativity was at a premium. In fact, in many cases portions of this work is still out there. Everyone that is a fan of my blog is also familiar with my current website and how this demonstrates the type of high quality cosmetic surgery work we perform. I found a few other places on the web, where my previous work in reconstruction is featured and shows that high quality reconstructive work was done in that past, as well.

Options for choosing a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon.

I have posted some of those links for those who might be interested. Since I no longer perform many of these reconstructive operations, I would refer you to those websites to find the best plastic surgeons performing reconstruction with perforators flaps, in particular.

I blog about Plastic Surgery because I like it!

Scottsdale- When we reached 400 blog articles I realized that I really like to blog and write about plastic surgery. Recently, I was asked about just where do I get all the topics that I write about on this site.

The answer is easy! There really are so many topics and ideas – that I truly feel I will never run out of ideas to talk about. There are also plenty of resources that I use to look up the greatest and latest in plastic surgery.

I cannot possibly name all of my sources in one short blog, but I would like to describe some of them and just what it is the offer an author like me.

First of all, I read just about everyday, even when I am super-busy with surgery and clinic. I read what I consider the three major plastic surgery journals that apply to my practice almost daily.

The Aesthetic Surgery Journal is the one I read the most, followed by the white journal which is also known as Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal. The Aesthetic Surgery Journal is the official journal of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, for which I am a member. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, for which I am also a member.

Both plastic surgery societies offer excellent continuing medical education meetings where I also get great ideas for the blog. I also read the FDA’s website, other medical societies websites and many of the “health” sections on a variety of news websites. Additionally, I read and review articles for the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal. They send me about an article a month as part of the peer-review process to make sure the quality of the publication continues at its present level.

In our office, at the AB Guerra Plastic Surgery Center, we decided that we should expand our blogging capacity over the next year. We decided it would be best to have one of my assistants in the office, Viridiana Sanchez, blog as well. Don’t worry, I am still going to continue to blog about plastic and cosmetic surgery, but we are going to let her have her own blog site.

We are still working on how best to implement more blogging for our plastic surgery practice and have not yet decided on the name of the website. Please stay tuned for any updates, in the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy our work on this blog.

King Tut's mummified head.

Scottsdale – New  findings, from the most extensive study ever carried out on Egypt’s King Tutankhamun, show he suffered from a cleft palate and that he died from complications of a broken leg exacerbated by malaria. The findings were from two years of DNA testing and CT scans on 16 mummies, including those of Tutankhamun and his family (Source: Fox News).

The team that carried out the study established the clearest yet family tree for Tut. The researchers said Tut’s father was most likely Akhenaten, the pharaoh who tried to revolutionize ancient Egyptian religion to worship one god. Tut, who became pharaoh at the age of 10 in 1333 B.C., ruled for just nine years at a pivotal time in Egypt’s history. In 1922, the discovery of his tomb filled with stunning artifacts, including the famed golden funeral mask, made him known the world over.

Cleft lip and palate are birth defects that affect the upper lip and the roof of the mouth. There are many causes of cleft lip and palate.  A cleft lip and palate can affect the appearance of the face, and may lead to problems with feeding, speech, and ear infections. Signs may range from a small notch in the lip to a complete groove that runs into the roof of the mouth and nose.

Cleft genes are passed down from one or both parents. Drugs, viruses, and other toxins can cause such birth defects. Cleft lip and palate may occur along with other syndromes or birth defects. These features may occur separately or together. Risk factors include a family history of cleft lip or palate and other birth defects. The chances of having cleft lip or palate are about 1 out of 2,500.

Today, cleft lip and palate can be repaired using plastic surgery techniques. For those who are interested in King Tut’s study, the full article will be published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The Faces Lift.

Scottsdale – The facelift is a plastic surgery operation used to reverse the natural effects of aging.
