How to choose a plastic surgery clinic?
Almost everyone who decided on a plastic surgery, wonders - how to choose a clinic for plastic surgery? Today there are many such clinics in any more or less large city, but only a few can offer patients quality service and guarantee a good result and safety. The search for a good clinic can take many months, but safety is worth the effort and time.
The choice of a plastic surgery clinic is advisable to split into two stages:
- Collect information
- Check the information collected.
Information on this subject can be collected from various sources: from the press, television programs, medical websites on the Internet, advice from acquaintances, etc. But it should be remembered that plastic surgery is a commercial matter, therefore, it is impossible to believe only advertising. Advertising is the engine of trade, so promises do not always correspond to reality. In the Internet, study not only relevant sites, but also try to discuss clinics with forum visitors. The opinion of former clients is important, because they personally have ascertained the quality of service of one or another clinic.
After choosing a certain clinic for surgery, you can proceed to the next stage - visit it personally and try to make up your own opinion on the spot. First, pay attention to the location of the clinic. Typically, institutions that care about their reputation are not located among new buildings and slums on the outskirts of the city. A good clinic will choose a well-maintained part of the city, with free access to transport infrastructure. Secondly, evaluate the state of the building - the basement or old building should immediately alert. Just does not guarantee quality service and a luxurious facade, rich interior design and smiling staff.
If nothing arises in the waiting room of the clinic, you should carefully look around - the presence on the walls of various licenses, diplomas or certificates indicates that the clinic is worthy of respect. There is no license - so there is no guarantee of security, so in case of an unsuccessful outcome of the operation, it will be very difficult to prove this in court. To the license also it is necessary to look attentively. First, the original must be presented, and not a fuzzy photocopy. Secondly, all licenses must have state seal and signature( and these) from the Ministry of Health. Also, the name of the organization, the legal address, the status of the medical facility, the date of issue, which, incidentally, should be clearly indicated, indicates how long this clinic is engaged in its activities. Of course, the more time, the more experience.
Should any questions arise, the administrator should clearly and clearly answer them. It is important to ask how well the clinic is equipped with surgical equipment. Another very important point is that a good clinic must necessarily be equipped with a resuscitation department. Any and even, at first glance, simple operation can unexpectedly become complicated by unpredictable circumstances - for example, the body reacted poorly to anesthesia or could not sustain the heart. In this case, only the rapid reaction of doctors and the equipping of the clinic with such equipment can save the patient's life. Many, choosing a clinic for plastic surgery, prefer state institutions, believing that there they will receive guarantees of a successful outcome of the operation. This opinion is not entirely true - doctors in such clinics rarely insure against unsuccessful operations, and private clinics, on the contrary, almost always pay clients insurance compensation in case of an unfavorable outcome. Therefore, if you ever need to choose a clinic, it is better to ask this question.
Well, and finally, if the preliminary check of the clinic has left pleasant emotions, if the institution does not raise suspicions, go to the final and important stage - personally talk with the plastic surgeon.
