The consultation process at Song Plastic Surgery is personalized and informative. Although we have access to so much information online – there is still nothing like experiencing an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. Dr. Song’s number one goal is to address his patients’ concerns and provide treatment options tailored to each individual patient. In addition to receiving reputable and authoritative advice from Dr. Song, you also get the opportunity to meet his awesome staff. Because plastic surgery is so personal, it’s not only important to get an idea of what the practice is like, it’s necessary to investigate who your prospective surgeon might be and what his clinic is like.

The Benefits of Meeting With a Plastic Surgeon

Although plastic surgeons provide both plastic and cosmetic surgery there is a significant distinction between the career of a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon. Reality TV has made it difficult for the general public to notice or even care that there is a difference, but it’s true nonetheless. It’s legal for any board certified physician to practice the art of cosmetic surgery. The downside to this legality is that there are a number of physicians who claim to be cosmetic surgeons even when their background could possibly be in the field of emergency room medicine or podiatry.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that is unique and requires dedicated training. It is not to be confused with other specialties or subspecialties that are confined to a particular region of the body or organ system. Plastic and cosmetic surgery requires physicians to be trained rigorously, starting in general surgery where they remain for 3 to 5 years until they advance to plastic surgical training. The kinds of surgical procedures that are performed during training include but are not limited to the following:

• Reconstructive surgery following cancer ablation or traumatic injury
• Pediatric surgery for a wide range of birth defects
• Surgery of the hands and upper extremities
• Microsurgery
• Burn surgery
• Cosmetic surgery
