Dr. Sergei Kalsow on the Changing Trends in Plastic Surgery

Dr. Sergei Kalsow is a plastic surgeon currently practicing solo in Manhattan. Dr. Kalsow believes that the potential of plastic surgery lies in enhancing a person's original aesthetic features and not changing them outright. For this reason, Dr. Kalsow promises natural-looking results to his patients, no matter what type of cosmetic surgery they want.

Dr. Kalsow is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and has over 10 years of training combined with 4 years of private practice as a professional cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Kalsow prefers to perform cosmetic surgeries that focus on the face; in his opinion, having a face that one considers attractive is the main factor that gives people a sense of self-confidence.

Dr. Kalsow has performed a variety of surgical procedures, including facelifts, Brazilian butt lifts, eyelid surgeries, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, rhinoplasties, and blepharoplasties. A list of all these procedures along with their results is available on his official website. Dr. Kalsow also shares details about his surgeries and the surgical process on his social media accounts, which include Facebook and YouTube.

One of the most prominent recent treads that Dr. Kalsow has noticed is that more and more of his patients are opting to undergo awake surgeries. Unlike a conventional surgery where the patient is unconscious due to the effect of anesthesia, awake surgeries are only performed with local anesthesia at the very most.

The growing demand for awake surgeries stems from the three main benefits that patients can get from this type of procedure. Firstly, the patient can watch the process in real-time and give feedback to the surgeon to get the exact results they want. Secondly, being awake and aware of what is going on during the procedure can help the patient feel less stressed or anxious about it. Thirdly, because awake surgeries are typically a lot less invasive than more conventional surgeries, the time needed afterwards to recover from the surgery is significantly reduced.

Dr. Kalsow is known for performing the majority of his surgeries while the patient is awake; at the same time, the patient always has the option to go under general anesthesia if they prefer. Most of the surgeons who are capable of performing awake surgeries only have expertise in operating on one specific part of the body. Dr. Kalsow's skills allow him to operate on almost any part of the body his patients want him to.

Dr. Kalsow believes that plastic surgery has come a long way from where it began, and that many of the existing procedures will be improved in the near future. While he agrees that the effect of some surgeries can also be achieved through exercise, he feels that surgeries can give a more instant result, and that people should have the option of doing things the easy way if they want.

As part of his mission to help people improve themselves aesthetically, Dr. Kalsow has started a new venture with the founding of the "Dreams Plastic Surgery" company; all of the information related to the company is available on its official website.
