Mehiläinen's plastic surgeons are here to help with plastic and aesthetic treatments
Reconstructive plastic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s work can involve reconstructive procedures, such as repairing injuries or burns. Reconstructive plastic surgery is also needed to correct congenital developmental disorders and treat soft tissue infections.
Restorative plastic surgery. Restorative plastic surgery addresses changes in the body or breasts caused by pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Aesthetic plastic surgery. Plastic surgery can also be aesthetic, meaning it modifies appearance. Aesthetic plastic surgery can address signs of aging, for example. Aesthetic procedures include injections, liposuction, and facelifts.
Our plastic surgeons work closely with the wound care team. We have extensive expertise and skills in treating complex wounds, scars, and burns.
When to seek a plastic surgeon’s consultation?
You should consider seeing a plastic surgeon if a physical or facial issue affects your daily life. For example, heavy eyelids can cause headaches, impair vision, and reduce concentration.
Additionally, if a particular feature of your appearance causes ongoing dissatisfaction or distress, an aesthetic procedure may improve your quality of life.
A plastic surgeon can assist in the following situations:
- Enhancing appearance
- Correcting body deformities
- Boosting self-esteem
- Improving quality of life
If you are unsure about visiting a plastic surgeon and have concerns about your appearance or are considering a procedure, a free consultation with a plastic surgery nurse can provide support and answers to your questions.
Preparing for a plastic surgeon’s consultation
Before your appointment with a plastic surgeon, it’s helpful to note or recall the following:
- Your current medications and any drug allergies.
- Previous plastic surgery-related conditions and surgeries.
- Hereditary risk factors, such as cancer or blood clots in close relatives.
Assessment. If you are considering a plastic surgery procedure or exploring different options, we recommend booking a 30-minute consultation. During the consultation, you can share your wishes, and the doctor will provide information about various treatment options.
Planning. If you want more detailed information about treatment possibilities or already know which procedure you want, book a 60-minute planning session with a plastic surgeon. During the planning session, follow-up actions will be agreed upon with the doctor. You can book consecutive appointments to allow for a longer session.
Planning plastic surgery procedures requires sufficient time. It’s beneficial to have open discussions with the doctor about your wishes and assess possibilities realistically. The attending physician will provide a professional evaluation of the best methods to achieve the desired outcome.
How a plastic surgeon’s consultation proceeds
The consultation begins with an initial discussion where you can share your wishes, expectations, and concerns. At the same time, other health-related questions are reviewed.
After the initial discussion, the plastic surgeon evaluates your general health and reviews any previous illnesses, allergies, and medications.
The plastic surgeon conducts a physical examination, focusing on the areas to be modified or corrected. This examination helps the surgeon plan the details of the procedure.
The plastic surgeon presents different treatment options, including their benefits, risks, and potential complications. You will receive information on what can be achieved with the procedure.
After discussing the options with the plastic surgeon, an individual treatment plan is created for you. This includes the procedure schedule, preparation instructions, and aftercare plan.
