Plastic Surgeon Says Social Media Help Patients Connect

PALM DESERT, CA, November 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Mo Zakhireh of Cosmetic Surgery Institute says plastic surgery patients in the Palm Springs area use social media to connect with other patients and learn about treatments they may be considering.

"Preparing for a cosmetic surgery can be stressful, so many people turn to resources such as Facebook and Twitter to learn about procedures, talk with other patients and share experiences they've had with surgeons," Dr. Zakhireh says. "With more than 1 billion users on Facebook, patients can easily find information about surgeons in their area or advice on how best to prepare for a procedure."

Cosmetic Surgery Institute of Palm Desert's Facebook Page features information on specials for popular treatments, advice from skin specialists and credentials of the staff.

"Our Facebook profile makes it easy for patients to learn about current and upcoming specials available only at our practice," says Dr. Bruce Landon, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery Institute. "It's a great way to keep in contact with people who want experienced advice from qualified specialists.

"Whether someone is interested in a non-surgical treatment such as BOTOX Cosmetic or a more intensive procedure such as breast augmentation, Riverside area patients can find reliable information there."

Dr. Zakhireh says that although social media provide great opportunities for patients to connect, there's no substitute for qualified advice from an experienced professional.

"The world of social media is a great starting point for people to learn about potential treatments, but I recommend that patients in our area seek out plastic surgery specialists near Riverside to get reliable information about their options," Dr. Zakhireh says.

"Consultations provide an ideal environment for people to learn how advanced technical approaches can create natural-looking results, and for doctors to accurately assess a patient's personal needs."
