People urged to consult with plastic surgeons rather than watch videos online


Consult-your-plastic-surgeonThere are many people who just know that they want to have cosmetic surgery. Then, of course, there are those who are still contemplating the idea of going under the knife. Whichever category a person falls into,

A LEADING PLASTIC SURGEON IS NOW ADVISING YOU TO STEER CLEAR OF ONLINE VIDEOS AND INSTEAD GET ALL THE FACTS YOU NEED FROM THE PROFESSIONALS.

Dr. Boris Paskhover, who works for Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, believes too many of his patients are being influenced by the misleading videos available on sites like YouTube. He’s now urging anyone who’s watched these clips to consult an actual surgeon rather than make their mind up solely on what they’ve seen online. He told Reuters Health: “I tell my patients that 50% of what’s online – YouTube or otherwise – is wrong, and 49% is correct but completely irrelevant to your particular situation.”
Dr. Paskhover wanted to be clear that he isn’t deterring patients from reading up on the procedure they’re interested in, but more so wanted to ensure that all patients eventually found out the full facts by getting in touch with a qualified plastic surgeon. He added: “By all means, educate yourself, but what’s on your monitor shouldn’t take on the power of authority. When it comes down to it, have a great relationship with your doctor and let your doctor guide your care.”
The advice comes in light of the growing number of videos showing cosmetic surgery on YouTube. While these videos are easy to find, they might give a person the wrong idea about an operation – whether for better or worse – when they’re in the process of making up their mind about whether it’s for them. It seems that millions are falling into this trap, with the top 10 YouTube results for ‘nose job’ currently totalling more than 56m views.
