What Is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery refers to procedures performed to improve and rejuvenate the appearance of certain areas of the face or body. Plastic surgery patients should be realistic in their expectations as to what these procedures can and cannot accomplish. Still, many patients report that a combination of treatments from a board-certified plastic surgeon may address their aesthetic concerns and increase self-esteem. Some common plastic surgery procedures include breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, mommy makeover, tummy tuck surgery, facelift surgery, and rhinoplasty.
Why Choose Plastic Surgery?
Everyone who considers cosmetic procedures has their own reasons for doing so—often private and very personal reasons. Our skilled team can help each patient look at those reasons and evaluate the pros and cons before ultimately deciding whether or not to go through with the procedure. Plastic surgery performed at our private practice is catered to your unique goals and needs. Some of the most common reasons why people consider plastic surgery include:
- Contouring areas where diet and exercise have proven ineffective.
- Diminishing the signs of aging and creating a healthier and more youthful appearance.
- Repairing physical damage that may occur as the result of an accident, illness or injury, such as in the case of burn victims and breast cancer survivors.

How Should I Prepare For Plastic Surgery?
The following recommendations will help you to remain healthy before, during and after your treatment:
- Maintain proper nutrition and eat well in the months before your surgery, and avoid excessive use of alcohol. Stick to a balanced, healthy diet and consult with Taghizadeh about using nutritional supplements.
- Keep a regular exercise routine, but do not engage in high-impact sports or start a new workout schedule in the weeks before your surgery. Taghizadeh recommends walking workouts, stretching and low-weight strength training, which can help improve your strength during post-surgery recovery.
- While you may attempt to maintain a healthy lifestyle as you prepare for your surgery, a cold, the flu or other illness may require rescheduling surgery. Inform Taghizadeh or a staff member if you become ill before the procedure.

What Is The Difference Between Cosmetic And Reconstructive Surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is performed on ordinary, healthy tissue, and is generally done for issues of self-esteem and body consciousness. In most cases, cosmetic surgery is considered elective, and thus generally not covered by health insurance providers. Reconstructive surgery, on the other hand, is done to repair a damaged or disfigured area of the face or body. It can correct birth and developmental defects, as well as the effects of diseases and infections, or physical trauma, such as in the case of burn victims. The procedure can not only improve appearance, but also physical functions of the body. Unlike cosmetic surgery, reconstructive procedures are often covered by health insurance. However, the amount that’s covered varies between providers and policies.
