is laser skin surgery consider plastic surgery?? i asked my doctor and he did not respond. when you go to the doctor for consultation, you want to ask all the questions you can about the laser procedure. but the weird thing is that the doctor never really answered my questions. He sounded very fishy. he did not explain the risk and complications within the procedure. also i asked the doctor if laser skin surgery is the same as plastic surgery, and did not answer my question.
Most laser methods fall under cosmetic surgery. There are so many variables and degrees with the use of lasers, it all depends on what you want to accomplish. What exact are you having done? Is it facial skin resurfacing for pigmentation or skin tightening?
As far as your doctor goes, it does not seem that he was able or willing to give you the answers you need. I would definitely go for a second opinion from another doctor in your area. You need to feel totally confident and informed before you make a decision to have anything done. There are plenty of doctors who are very willing to inform you of your procedure and answer your questions. There is also a tremendous amount of information on the internet.
Hope this helps.
