What Brings You In Today?
Plastic surgery is about more than appearance. From restoring function after an injury to helping patients regain confidence following cancer treatment, plastic and reconstructive surgery plays an important role in improving quality of life.
In the newest episode of What Brings You In Today, Shawn Vandemark, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon at SGMC Health, shares insights from his 20 years of caring for patients in South Georgia. From breast reconstruction and skin cancer treatment to body contouring after significant weight loss, Dr. Vandemark explains the wide range of procedures that help patients feel better, regain function, and return to their everyday lives.
The conversation explores common misconceptions about plastic surgery, the differences between cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, and the importance of setting realistic expectations. Dr. Vandemark also discusses advancements in reconstructive surgery, the emotional impact these procedures can have on patients, and how building trust helps patients feel comfortable throughout their surgical journey.
As Dr. Vandemark shares in the episode: "I think just being able to help people and earn their trust, allows me to improve their lives."
