Newport Beach Plastic Surgery Not In Vane
Newport Beach Plastic Surgery Comments (0)
Plastic surgery, especially in an affluent area like Newport Beach, California, is considered by many to be a superfluous procedure to lessen the percieved ravages of natural aging. Or a measure to improve one’s attractiveness by enhancing certain areas on one’s body.
It’s easy to draw that conclusion when biking along the bathing suit brimmed beach boardwalk of Southern California. However, the origins of Plastic Surgery were not born from the desire to simply improve a body part for the sake of vanity.
Cosmetic surgical procedures were recorded as early as 800 BC in India by Sushruta, deemed the father of Surgery. Sushtra and his medical students developed and applied plastic surgical techniques for reconstructing noses, genitalia, earlobes, et cetera, that were amputated as religious, criminal, or military punishment.
Later on, fast forward to the 20th century, modern plastic surgery techniques were developed to assist disfiguring facial injuries of soldiers involved in wars with bullets and bombs.
Dr. Thomas Nguyen, a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon in Orange County, is only too aware of the health benefits of his chosen profession. Dr. Nguyen donates his time regularly to the Grossman Burn Center, where he has assisted in thousands of procedures for burn patient victims. He also served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California Medical School and has contributed to numerous publications.
Plastic Surgery today is widely perceived to cater to the whims of wealthy or near-wealthy persons whose main objective is self-beautification, and in many cases that may be true. However post-cancer reconstruction with special focus on skin cancer and post-mastectomy reconstruction is not about vanity, it’s about getting back to normal.
When seeking the services of a plastic surgeon, please be sure to check his or her accreditation and qualifications. Choose a doctor, like Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Dr. Thomas Nguyen, who is not only a certified plastic surgeon, but certified in general surgery as well and has years of experience treating a wide range patients.
