Dr. Donna Borres Eramis advocates for patient education in cosmetic surgery

Dr. Donna Borres Eramis, founder of D’Sculpt Face & Body Center in Cebu City, is advocating for enhanced patient education regarding cosmetic surgery. She emphasizes that patients should view cosmetic procedures as comprehensive medical processes rather than isolated appointments.

Dr. Eramis highlights the importance of professional consultations to assess a patient’s anatomy, medical history, and realistic goals. She notes that while online information provides familiarity with trends and procedures, it cannot determine individual suitability. A surgeon may recommend different treatments or advise against surgery altogether based on a clinical assessment.

Furthermore, the advocacy includes preparing for the logistical aspects of recovery. This includes considering work schedules, physical activity, and the need for post-operative support to ensure the surgical timing aligns with the patient’s real-life requirements and healing needs.
