It's Psychological: The Plastic Surgeon Relationship w/ Dr. Jonathan Sykes

How a plastic surgeon treats a patient's mind is just as important as how they treat their physical appearance. Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Sykes joins Dr. Bass to discuss how both plastic surgeons and patients can succeed at seeing eye-to-eye with each other before, during, and after a procedure. Sometimes there's a mismatch between what patients explain they want to look like and what plastic surgeons envision based on this description. To prevent an unhappy patient, it's best to spot align early on by listening intently and communicating thoroughly. Listening is key for plastic surgeons both before and after a procedure. This helps the surgeon know how best to prepare patients psychologically to go through the procedure and recovery.  As a patient, you want to pick a surgeon not just for their technical expertise, but also for their listening abilities. Drs. Bass and Sykes share their insights on how plastic surgeons should approach different types of patients, how to work towards satisfying results, and why it's a bad idea to try to chase unrealistic expectations.
