How to Stay Out of the Danger Zone

Patients are the most important part of any medical practice. How their experience goes is very important to the reputation of the practice. One issue that often angers patients are the post-surgery cost.

Depending what procedure is done, the post-surgery cost can vary and may even include physical therapy, specific diets, hospital beds, heating pads, and other materials that will keep you comfortable. These post-surgery details can often be ignored so make sure that if you decide to move in this direction. If you would like to hear more about what post-surgery entails and how to be prepared, please read one of our former patients blogs where she describes her experience: FormerPatient Blog

Experts Are Finding New Ways to Fight Bacteria

Doctors have been fighting bacteria with antibiotics for years and for the most part they have had great success. In recent years though, these diseases have been growing resistant to traditional medicine. In the 1940's, Western doctors stopped using phage because of the advent of antibiotics.

Experts have turned to phages once again instead of modern medicine. If you don’t know, phage therapy comes in different shapes and sizes and is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections. To read more about this please visit this link. The White House last year stated that phage therapy will be one of the options when combating drug-resistant bacteria.

At Star Plastic Surgery, we are aware of all medical options on the market and currently we are not utilizing phages of any kind. However, we do take pride in keeping up with ever changing medical breakthroughs and the latest technology. Our board certified plastic surgeons want you to feel great about the way you look and strive to deliver safe and outstanding results.
