Plastic Surgeon What
to look for when selecting an ethical Plastic
Surgeon:
Make sure they operate in
accredited medical facilities and have hospital
privileges if they perform office-based
procedures. Select a Physician that
participates in continuing medical education
requirements, including standards and
innovations in patient safety. Make sure the Physician
personally meets with you to explain the entire
process. Choose a Physician that clearly
explains your options. There are usually
different options and procedures available. Do they openly discuss the risks
of the surgery, or do they hide information
about the surgery to make you more comfortable? Do they give you adequate time
to make an informed decision about the proposed
procedure and provide you with written
literature on discussed procedures? Questions
to ask when selecting a business in this industry: Are you an ASPS Member Surgeon? At which hospital do you have
privileges to perform this procedure? Is the surgical facility
accredited? How many procedures of this type
have you performed? Am I a good candidate for this
procedure? What are the risks involved with
my procedure? How long of a recovery period
can I expect, and what kind of help will I need
during my recovery? Will I need to take time off
work? If so, how long? |

Mark D. McDonough, M.D., P.A. 615
Princeton Street Suite 540 With the unique perspective of a former patient, Dr. Mark D. McDonough emphasizes the need to restore, maintain and improve the body, mind and spirit. His philosophy regarding cosmetic surgery is conservative. Patients understand that sometimes less is more--they don't want that "operated on" look. Dr. McDonough and his team understand that each patient's needs are unique, and they're committed to providing individualized attention to all of their patients. A highly skilled surgeon, Dr. McDonough is adept at cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery, facial implants, abdominoplasty, and liposuction/body contouring. He also specializes in post bariatric surgery, performing reconstructive procedures on patients following excessive weight loss from gastric bypass or banding. He frequently employs less invasive procedures such as lip augmentation and the use of injectables such as Botox, Hylaform, Juvederm, Radiesse and collagen. His research in burns and skin care led to the development of a private label line of skin rejuvenation products. Special services include massage therapy, vitamin and nutritional counseling, and physical therapy and rehabilitation. For Dr. McDonough, choosing a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery was a natural progression born of his experiences earlier in life. "My experience as a patient influenced the way I practice medicine," he says. "The bottom line is, I can empathize with my patients. However, I also realize that everyone's journey is their own." As a teenager, Dr. McDonough sustained second- and third-degree burns over 65 percent of his body in a home fire that claimed the lives of his mother and younger brother. After enduring 30 reconstructive surgeries, he decided to become a surgeon. Dr. McDonough now specializes in burn reconstructive surgery and finds it most rewarding. A native of Ohio, Dr. McDonough graduated from Cleveland State University with a degree in physical therapy. He established a rehabilitation practice in Orlando providing physical therapy to patients with problems including burn injury and neurological and orthopedic trauma. After eight years as a practicing physical therapist, he returned to medical school, earning his medical degree at Case Western Reserve University. He continued his training in general surgery at the University of South Florida, followed by a burn fellowship and completion of plastic surgery training at Vanderbilt University. Recently, Dr. McDonough accepted a position as adjunct clinical professor at the University of Central Florida. He teaches courses about burn trauma as well as wound evaluation and management. Although most of Dr. McDonough's patients are women, men comprise about 20 percent of his clientele. For the most part, his male clients seek eyelid surgery, liposuction and good skin care. "Everyone in Florida should be on a good physician-prescribed skincare program," says Dr. McDonough. Mark D. McDonough, M.D., P.A.
