Patients Crossing State Lines for Plastic Surgery in Rhode Island

    JOHNSTON, RI, November 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Polacek Center for Plastic Surgery is seeing a rise in the number of patients coming to their practice from surrounding states for plastic surgery in Rhode Island. Patients from Massachusetts and Connecticut are turning to Dr. Lori Placek because of her extensive experience and training with procedures such as facelifts and breast augmentation.

"Finding the right plastic surgeon is largely about developing open communication where patients feel comfortable expressing their concerns about a potential procedure," said Dr. Polacek. "Sometimes, women and men can't find plastic surgeons nearby who meet their needs, so they turn to doctors outside their area. I'm happy to assist women and men from nearby states with their cosmetic needs, and I look forward to welcoming more people to our practice."

Dr. Polacek says two of the most popular procedures that people from surrounding states request are facelift surgery and breast augmentation. Patients come to Providence for facelift with Dr. Polacek for her training and ability to address a wide range of age-related concerns through a personalized approach to plastic surgery.

"Part of the reason I believe women and men from nearby states turn to our practice for their cosmetic surgery is the options we offer for each procedure," said Dr. Polacek. "At my practice in Rhode Island, breast augmentation and facelift are not approached as 'one size fits all' procedures. We customize each procedure to the exact needs and anatomy of the individual person." Options for tailoring a procedure include incision placement, varying degrees and areas of correction, and the incorporation of complementary procedures to enhance results.

Dr. Polacek provides each patient with a personalized surgical experience, which begins the minute someone walks through the door. Her entire staff is committed to providing individualized attention, regardless of the surgery. Dr. Polacek says this approach allows her to get to know the exact needs of each patient, which helps lead to more natural results.

"Whether someone comes to our practice for a surgical procedure, such as breast augmentation, or for one of our nonsurgical rejuvenation treatments, our goal is to provide everyone with personalized attention," Dr. Polacek said. "I look forward to spending more time with our current patients and getting to know people from Rhode Island and surrounding states."

Dr. Lori Polacek is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been in practice since 1992. At her Center for Plastic Surgery in Rhode Island, she provides a full range of surgical and non-surgical procedures. After earning her MD from the Boston University School of Medicine, she completed an internship in Surgery and a Residency in General Surgery at the Boston University Medical Center. Dr. Polacek then completed a residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the renowned Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts. A member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Rhode Island Medical Society, Dr. Polacek is a well-respected member of the medical community and was recognized as a Top Female Plastic Surgeon in Rhode Island by the Rhode Island Monthly.
