It is generally accepted and statistically proven that the more a patient is informed about a given operation, the easier he or she can pass the post-op period. If one knows about the probable course of events and the possible untoward complications, there will be the chance to take part in the perioperative management and readily inform the surgeon should anything unusual happen. Uninformed patients try to find the answers to their numerous questions through unauthorized and unprofessional sources on the internet or published media, or sometimes well-intending but harmful friends and relatives. Hence, it is greatly appreciated if a reliable source can spread the necessary scientific info and contradict the vastly propagated cosmetic myths. This is the ultimate reason why I am organizing this website: to offer the scientific up-to-date info about plastic and aesthetic operations, the way I perform them, and the techniques I favor.
The world of beauty is appealing to most people and the recent international cultural uprisings have brought aesthetic operations into powerful limelight. The increasing demand of cosmetics has led to an outpour of facilities and personnel providing such services. Unfortunately, some of the people involved in the field of aesthetics in Iran do not have the academic training necessary to perform such operations and may lack the expertise and ability to prevent complications. So, it is extremely important to choose practitioners who are legally authorized (by the Ministry of Health of Iran, Iranian Medical Council, and the Iranian Society of Plastic Surgeons) to make sure that “First, no harm is done”. The easiest way to find a surgeon is through the website of the Iranian Society of Plastic Surgeons (
www.plasticsurgeons.ir), in the FIND A SURGEON sector.
