The “Belfie”*

What is a Belfie?

With the prevalence of social media and the increasing appreciation for a shapely behind, it comes as no surprise that the newest trend is people posting “selfies” of their butt, dubbed the “Belfie.” Fitness model Jen Selter became an Instagram sensation for posting Belfies of her curvaceous derriere, and popular celebrities have also participated in this new craze. These photos are showing up all over social media, and patients often come to me now with Belfies of celebrities or of their friends rather than the edited magazine pictures they used to bring. My butt augmentation patients say they are happy to see that their new butts are as voluptuous as the ones they see online.*

the belfieI am humbled that the news blog Monsters & Critics recently featured me in their July 15th article, “Booty Pioneer Paves Way For Social Media Belfie Queen.” They note my many other media appearances where I have discussed my “groundbreaking technique of fat transfer to balance the natural shape” and my book, The Art of Gluteal Sculpting, that is used by plastic surgeons worldwide.* While they call me the “Booty Pioneer,” I am simply happy to help other surgeons and to give my patients the buttocks that will help them have the confidence they desire.*

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon*

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon*

How to Find a Plastic Surgeon

When it comes to your appearance, you can’t trust just anyone to make sure you look your best. For big occasions, women often turn to professional artists and stylists for their hair and makeup; and they have alterations specialists to make sure their dresses fit perfectly.

how to choose a plastic surgeon

Men also usually visit a tailor to ensure their suits fit just right. So when it comes to something as significant as your body and health, wouldn’t you want to make sure you have the same kind of experienced professional making any life-changing alterations (to achieve the best results) that will be personalized for you?


Why It’s Important to Choose Board Certified Plastic Surgeons

Many practitioners perform cosmetic surgery, but not all are specifically trained in plastic surgery. Legally, with the consent of the patient, any licensed physician with a valid doctor of medicine degree can perform cosmetic procedures. This means that a physician may not have training or experience in the cosmetic procedure they are performing.*

Doctors can receive formal training in any specialty, such as dermatology, pediatrics, or general surgery, and call themselves cosmetic surgeons. Specific training and experience in plastic surgery are necessary to evaluate the individual needs of a patient; deal with any potential complications; and ensure patient safety to achieve the best results.* Just as you wouldn’t trust an inexperienced stylist to change your appearance, don’t trust an inexperienced doctor to do a plastic surgeon’s job.

To guarantee that you are undergoing a cosmetic procedure with an experienced, first-rate physician, ask your surgeon to show you proof of the following qualifications:*

Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) 

A surgeon who is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) has completed at least five years of approved surgical training and a residency in plastic surgery. If a physician claims to be “board certified,” make sure you check that they are board certified by The ABPS, as this is the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to certify physicians for plastic surgery procedures.

Member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) is the leading organization of plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery. Membership in The ASAPS is by invitation only, and members must be certified by The ABPS.

Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) 

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world, and its members must perform their surgeries in accredited surgical facilities. Choosing a surgeon who operates in an accredited facility will ensure that they have the proper equipment and staff to monitor your safety.*

Experience Performing the Procedure You Desire

Even if a surgeon has the previous qualifications, he or she should also have extensive experience performing the specific procedure you wish to undergo. If they have a lot of experience and specialize in the procedure you desire, they will be more likely to know a variety of current techniques.* This will allow them to tailor the procedure to meet your individual needs and provide you with the best results possible.*

A surgeon with these qualifications will achieve superior results because they will have the ability to evaluate your features and circumstances to choose the best course of action for your procedure.* An experienced hairstylist is the best person to evaluate your facial structure and hair type to recommend the best options for a new “do.” In the same way, an experienced plastic surgeon is the best person to evaluate your body type to provide the best results.*

In honor of ‘National I Want You to Be Happy Day’ March 3rd

 

Dr. Mendieta Explains 4Beauty’s Dedication and Commitment to Quality Patient Care

Plastic surgery does not guarantee perfect results, but when performed by the hands of a qualified surgeon, an individual may anticipate beautiful, natural-looking results.* Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Constantino Mendieta not only provides his patients with excellent aesthetic outcomes; he and his staff accomplish what every surgeon should consistently strive to achieve: patient happiness.* From the initial consultation through the recovery period, Dr. Mendieta and his team of medical personnel ensure a comfortable, rewarding plastic surgery for each and every individual.*

In honor of “National I Want You To Be Happy Day” on March 3, we thought we’d share some of the most crucial areas that Dr. Mendieta and his staff excel in to help keep patients happy:*

Dr. Constantino Mendieta: Revolutionizing Male Aesthetics with the Adonis Procedure and Beyond

Safety*

Whether an individual is interested in undergoing his signature butt augmentation procedure (“Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer 3-D approach”) or would like to enhance their breasts with implants, Dr. Mendieta does not move forward with performing plastic surgery unless he deems the person a good candidate for the procedure.*

The evaluation that takes place during a consultation is very thorough; and it includes a physical exam and blood testing. In addition, Dr. Mendieta must receive written medical clearance from the patient’s physician (or nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) certifying that the patient is healthy enough to undergo plastic surgery.*

Dr. Mendieta also ensures a safe surgical facility for his patients. Abiding by all standards, his facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).*

Bedside Manner*

Without a doubt – Dr. Mendieta believes that the patient is the most important person in the patient-doctor relationship. However, he never loses sight of how critical a role the doctor plays in contributing to the patient’s overall plastic surgery experience.*

That said, bedside manner should not be overlooked by a patient. Would a surgeon with a cold demeanor and a lack of patience, compassion, or empathy excite a person to undergo a surgical enhancement? Not likely. Dr. Mendieta’s bedside manner proves his genuine, caring personality and professionalism. He is fully committed to addressing the patient’s concerns and making himself as available as possible.*

Patient Privacy*

It is Dr. Mendieta’s level of skill, knowledge, and reputation in providing excellent patient care that attracts a diverse range of clientele. This includes celebrities and high-profile individuals from around the world. Because he and his staff understand that plastic surgery is a personal and confidential decision, they protect the privacy of those who would like their experience to remain discreet. Dr. Mendieta provides private entrances and exits for particular patients to come and go comfortably.*
