Plastic Surgery - How On-Line Videos Benefit Patients and Plastic Surgeons
This is an Internet-based society.
We shop, work, go to school, socialize and seek information all from the comfort of our homes.
People can do what would take them a full day of running around in a few hours without getting out of their pajamas.
Businesses realize they must have an Internet presence if they want to succeed and plastic surgery is no different.
This industry goes beyond just clinic Web sites with FAQs and bios of their surgeons, they are showing actual video of procedures on their sites and also posting them on YouTube, which has a huge presence on the Net.
The benefits of this tactic are enormous for both you as a patient and for your surgeon.

* Informed-These videos are very informative.
There is an explanation by the doctor and then the actual plastic surgery procedure is shown.
