The Value of JCHAO Accreditation for our Patients

When looking for a reputable plastic surgeon, most know to look for one that is Board Certified, but many fail to ask whether the organization they choose is JCHAO credited. What is JCHAO you might ask? 

JCHAO stands for Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

JCHAO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public; it does this through the provision of health accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. JCAHO is governed by a 28-member Board of Commissioners that includes nurses, physicians, consumers, medical directors, administrators, providers, employers, labor representatives, health plan leaders, quality experts, ethicists, health insurance administrators, and educators. The corporate members of JCAHO are the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine, the American College of Surgeons, the American Dental Association, the American Hospital Association, and the American Medical Association.

At Sleek Surgical & MedSpa, we believe you deserve the highest quality of health care. That’s why Sleek Surgical Center in New York is certified by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCHAO). When you see our certificate of JCHAO Accreditation, you will know that JCHAO has closely examined our facilities, systems and procedures. It means that we, as an organization, have demonstrated the highest level of care and safety in meeting or exceeding all state and federal guidelines.

Why is JCAHO important to you? Because your body is important and we want you to feel comfortable making the decision to entrust Sleek Surgical & MedSpa with all your surgical needs. We are not required to seek JCAHO accreditation, but we choose to because our goal is to provide the highest quality of care to all of our patients.

Breast implants for the 18 year old?

It is more common now than ever for young women to have plastic surgery to improve their look.  What do you think about this? The article below from The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery examines how young women are interested in Breast Enhancement surgery to gain confidence and improve their look. The article also examines how parents are willing to pay for these surgeries that their children, specifically daughters, ask for. Sleek Surgical & MedSpa offers Breast Enhancement surgery by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons who are the best in their field. If you are interested in Breast Enhancement surgery (whatever your age) make sure you choose a doctor you can trust.

Recent high school graduate Madison Landis, who is 18-years-old, recently got breast implants as a graduation gift. She says her small breasts made her self-conscious.

"I feel like it will make me more confident for college and less insecure about myself," she recently told CNN about her upcoming surgery.

Madison's parents say that they agreed to pay for the cosmetic surgery to help their daughter's self-image.

"It's something she felt really strongly about," Madison's mom, Tonya Everett, told the news source. "She's 18 and it's her body, so we're willing to support her decision."

While studies show that self-esteem can be improved by cosmetic procedures, it is best to exercise caution when it comes to teens.  Most doctors will not perform breast augmentation surgery on patients under the age of 18, those graduating from college this spring, as well as some high school grads, can often get the go-ahead. And many plastic surgeons say they see an increase in the number of young women seeking the surgery this time of year.

"You see it around graduation," one plastic surgeon told WomensENews.com. "You see it around holidays and spring break, especially around the Christmas season."

The article also emphasizes the importance of visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon before making any decisions and understanding the risks of surgery and breast implants. Some patients make the decision first and worry about the details later. During a consultation, a qualified surgeon can make an assessment about breast surgery, whether or not it’s too early or if a patient is not mature enough to handle the process. Also, breast implants are not lifetime devices and will need to be replaced in the future. A teen must understand that they will most likely need replacement surgery in the future.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), breast augmentation surgery remained one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures in 2011, with more than 316,000 total surgeries performed by ASAPS members. Women aged 18 and under only accounted for 1.5 percent of the total, while almost 50% are between the ages of 19-34.

There is now a significant trend for men to get Botox treatment in order to look younger in job interviews. How might this affect Silicon Valley hiring?

by Chris Matyszczyk June 3, 2012

Google, Facebook, and their ilk are young companies. In every sense.

It isn't merely that they rise in their toddler years to become worth more than many nations. It's that all of the faces who work there seem fresher than springtime daisies.

This has led to the occasional accusation that these companies don't really want to hire older people. You know, those over 36.

Google, indeed, suffered a lawsuit from Brian Reid, the then 54-year-old engineer -- and the man credited with helping craft the first firewall -- who claimed he was terminated just before Google's IPO because of his age.

Now, however, some men whose years are advancing are taking steps to avoid being seen as old. The remedy: cosmetic surgery.

As CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reports, some men in their 40s are not going to take it any more. They're going to fill it.

They're going to get themselves Botox.

CBS talked to Don Pelham, a Dallas businessman who lamented his looks.

"It was like I was 26 one day, and then I woke up and I was in my 40s. Some of the things weren't looking the same way they used to," he said.

Some find that happening after one long night on tequila.

His cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, surely offered hope to so many when he told CBS: "They look older, they look tired. They don't have that vitalized look. They come in and get a vitalized look, and bam they get a job."

Bam.

Pelham admitted that this procedure -- charmingly referred to as "Brotox" -- isn't something he immediately describes to his friends. However, he has a simple theory about life, or at least its physical side: "Up to 25 it's physique, after 25 it's maintenance," he told CBS. "So, I'm just maintaining."

Perhaps maintenance isn't a concept that has quite reached Silicon Valley yet. I know, though, that certain people who reach their mid-30s suddenly feel old at tech companies.

They are surrounded by pretty little boys and girls who believe they'll soon make their fortunes, while still being able to online date, smoke pot, and drink profusely just as they did at college.

It can be somewhat disorienting, especially if the younger employees of their target sex look to them more as mentors and friends, rather than vibrant objects of desire. It's even worse if they're not very good on a skateboard.

Perhaps there are a few techies in the Valley's woodwork who have already availed themselves of facial rejuvenation.

It would be lovely to hear if it helped their fortunes -- as well as young people's heads -- turn.
