How Much Does The Cost Of Beauty Really Cost?- Beyond The Hype Of Plastic Surgery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ANYWHERE , California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 9, 2010 -- “Even in a good economy, nobody is rich enough to buy cheap,” stated Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marcel Daniels who practices in Long Beach, CA. “A patient might be able to save the few thousand dollars it costs for the initial surgery but if it goes wrong, it can end up costing them upwards of $30 - $40,000. to fix the mistake!”

Dr. Marcel Daniels, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, has witnessed plastic and cosmetic surgery slowly degenerate over the past 20 years, ultimately leaving patients on the receiving end of all the misleading information and the medical bills. According to Dr. Daniels in his nearly 20 years of private practice, he has seen the field of plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery devolve into a frenzy of surgeons all claiming to be the best by routinely over promising and under delivering. This is all at the expense of the patient, literally! The sad reality of things is that medicine is a business where profit margins all too often trump patient’s needs.
“Nowadays patients are easily deceived into believing that they will get exactly what they want, and more importantly, exactly what they are paying for,” continued Dr. Daniels. “However, plastic surgery gone wrong is what every patient fears, but surprisingly, few patients prepare themselves (and their wallets) for the likelihood of unwanted results after surgery.”

To assist patients in gaining a better understanding of the plastic surgery industry, Dr. Daniels has created www.plasticsurgerybeyondthehype.com an internet TV site aimed at re-educating the public on plastic surgery. Each week www.plasticsurgerybeyondthehype.com will cover a relevant issue on the subjects of plastic surgery vs. cosmetic surgery, proper board certification, physician selection and many other topics aimed at demystifying the very confusing and misleading marketing that goes with plastic surgery.
So how much does the price of beauty really cost? Are those billboards offering $2999. breast implant surgery to be believed?
“I’ve seen many patients go to financial extremes to afford the costs of revision plastic surgery, said Dr. Daniels. “I want patients to be aware that if one simple surgical procedure turns out differently than expected, the cost to correct the mishap can be a long financial road ahead for them,” said Dr. Daniels.
