Raadiesse

Theodore Katz, MD answers: Getting Radiesse from a plastic surgeon or a gynecologist?

My gynecologist offers this treatment, and I trust her. I also have great confidence in the plastic surgeon who did my liposuction. Which would be the safer and better person to do the Radiesse? Will the plastic surgeon try to convince me to have the much more expensive S-Lift? I cannot afford to disappear for a long time, as I have a high profile position.

Your plastic surgeon will not try to convince you to have any procedure.  He/she will however let you know all of your alternatives, the potential risks and complications and expected results and how long they may last.  He will also let you know if Radiesse will achieve your goals based on your expectations and your anatomy.  The anatomy and nerve supply of the face is far more complex than the genital region , and certainly the results will have significant impact (positively or negatively) as any improvement or defects will be quite obvious to people you meet.  Give yourself the best opportunity for achieving your results and go with an experienced plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with a specialty in facial cosmetics.  The ability to do a procedure is only a small part of the procedure,  Your physician should also have the ability to address the rare complications that may result and I am sure your gynecologist could not.
