A Trusting Comfort
Patients meeting plastic surgeon Jourdan R. Gottlieb appreciate his professional demeanor and relaxed nature, which reflect his meticulous expert approach to medicine.
I don’t want them to feel like they’re talking to just another doctor, but rather with someone they feel they can be honest with he says. Truthfulness and understanding are what attract patients to his office, called Plastic Surgery Seattle. His practice, offering mostly body contouring, including breast augmentation, abdominoplasty and liposuction, is two-thirds cosmetic surgery and one-third general reconstructive surgery. I try to make sure that the patient understands what he or she wants and that I understand what that is and whether there is a realistic possibility of accomplishing it, Dr. Gottlieb says. We always want to make sure that their goals match what can be accomplished surgically.
The trim on the office walls and the carpet in the large exam rooms hide the clinical components of this downtown Seattle office. Dr. Gottlieb likens the place to a businessman’s office and chose it for its homey appeal. Every space within my practice looks attractive, not like a place you’d go to have your heart listened to he says. Personal attention is a central focus of the practice. We treat all of our patients with individualized care and concern.
BREAST SURGERY OPTIONS
Each patient who sees Dr. Gottlieb for a BREAST AUGMENTATION is given a choice of how their implants should be placed. There are different types of incisions, each with pros and cons, he explains. It’s the same operation but with different incision sites. The most popular choices are the ones that have the most MINIMAL SCARRING, such as through the NAVEL or the fold under the breast. When the doctor goes through the belly button, for instance, there is no visible incision on the torso and a minimally discernible incision on the navel. It’s nothing a boyfriend or husband will see, Dr. Gottlieb points out. This is a real advantage because it’s a very attractive alternative. The instrument used is very specialized because it has to reach a far distance to get the implant to the right place. Another inconspicuous option is through the FOLD UNDER THE BREAST, which is also not noticeable by the patient or anyone else. I believe both options have the least tampering of the breast tissue compared to other methods, he says. View some of the best Seattle Breast Augmentation photos.
