The nation’s re-operation rate for breast augmentation is 25 percent. That
means that of the 400,000 women who had the procedure last year 100,000 of
them will be back in surgery. “Reconcile reality with desires,” say the authors of The Best Breast 2: The Ultimate Discriminating Woman’s Resource for Breast Augmentation. “Every choice you make in this operation—from implant size to filler—affects the longevity of the operation.” Redefining patient outcomes is the mission of the author duo consisting of John B. Tebbetts, M.D.—an internationally acclaimed plastic surgeon with a re-operation rate of just 3 percent—and his wife, Terrye B. Tebbetts, a patient educator who has managed her husband’s practice, considered to be the world’s most sophisticated, for the past 20 years. Dr. Tebbetts is also the author of three highly regarded surgical text books on breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. A reality TV show about the Tebbetts’ practice is currently being pitched to networks. In The Best Breast 2, the authors stress the need for pre-surgery research, emphasizing education and quality decision making to avoid surgical disasters. The drive to improve long-term results led the Tebbetts to the 24-Hour RecoveryTM & Out to Dinner Breast AugmentationTM. This procedure, pioneered by the Tebbetts, allows patients to return to normal activity after just 24 hours. It’s this level of skill that has earned them a re-operation rate this is a fifth of the national average. Most women make decisions about breast augmentation based on what they’ve heard from a friend or read in a magazine. “By doing your homework and preparing for the procedure,” says Ms. Tebbetts. “Women can find qualified surgeons and evaluate them based on a set of objective criteria–not on fluff.” Among the many topics covered in the book are the various medical issues, implant choices, available surgical options and how to prepare for and recover from surgery, as well as how to live with your new breasts. Featured throughout the book are checklists and tear-out flash cards that women can use during surgical consultations. The Best Breast 2 arms women with information based on the realities—not the myths—of breast augmentation to help them make the right decisions and avoid complications. Based on scientific data and 26 years of experience, this book shows readers exactly what it takes to get the best breast. Article Courtesy of John B.
