A Professional Approach
Even though reconstructive plastic surgery is a field of medical practice and, accordingly, the purpose of the surgeon is to create the best possible fit and help the patient resume normal physical activity, there is also an emotional and spiritual aspect of a plastic surgeon’s work, which is not to be placed second, says Aharon Amir. The aesthetic result - the acquisition of the patient’s desired appearance - is the foundation of one’s peace of mind. Thus, working with patients involves a professional approach focused on ensuring the long-term effect of the treatment, but also a personal approach, taking into account human factors and the comprehensive study of the problem for which the patient is consulting the physician.
Each surgery is preceded by a period of careful planning. Modern reconstructive plastic surgery makes it possible to recover the lost functionality of organs and obtain the best aesthetic result that satisfies the expectations of the patient. During recovery, the patient who underwent surgery goes through continuous checkups in order to prevent adverse effects and lead to the full recovery and successful discharge of the patient.
Boasting the highest professional level, Dr. Aharon Amir successfully performs complex plastic surgery, including complex reconstruction surgery - reconstruction of the head, face, neck and chest. His many years of experience and the advanced microsurgical equipment he uses ensure the accuracy, quality and safety of all surgical procedures.
