What you need to know

Q: Is Dr. Pancholi a Cosmetic or Plastic Surgeon?

A: Both. He's a board certified full body cosmetic surgeon and he is also board certified as a facial plastic surgeon.

Q: What's the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?

A: Cosmetic surgeons are specifically trained and specialized in performing all aspects of cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgeons are trained to do reconstructive surgery and may perform cosmetic surgery, as well. Dr. Pancholi is board certified both in full body cosmetic surgery and in facial plastic surgery.

Q: What does “board certified” actually mean?

A: It means that his training, experience and expertise were highly scrutinized and evaluated before he was given the "stamp of approval" in his specialty by a select group of recognized experts in the field.

Q: What board certifications does Dr. Pancholi have?

A: He is Board Certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (the highest certification level achievable in cosmetic surgery). His years of advanced surgical training enabled him to also become a Board Certified Facial Plastic surgeon (American Osteopathic Board of Facial Plastic Surgery).

Q: Does board certification really matter?

A: Yes. Any medical doctor can actually call him/herself a cosmetic surgeon simply by performing cosmetic surgery procedures. Many doctors from different specialties have not met the strict requirements needed to achieve board certification in cosmetic surgery.

Q: How can I verify that a doctor is board certified?

A: You can go to www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org to search for a doctor's name and I would encourage you to do that.

Q: Where will my procedure be done?

A: Dr. Pancholi performs all of his surgical procedures in fully approved and accredited surgical centers. Dr. Pancholi does not operate in his office.

Q: Why can't Dr. Pancholi do my procedure right there in his office?

A: He believes that safety is the number one priority for his patients and has therefore chosen to do all of his surgery in a setting that has met or surpassed the highest city, state, and national standards of compliance. It's also regularly monitored and evaluated to ensure your safety.

Q: Who administers anesthesia when Dr. Pancholi performs cosmetic surgery?

A: Highly trained board certified anesthesiologists (medical doctors who have been trained specifically to administer anesthesia) will dedicate their attention to your anesthesia while Dr. Pancholi performs your cosmetic surgery procedures.

Q: Why is it important to have a board certified anesthesiologist give the anesthesia when other cosmetic surgeons do it themselves?

A:Dr. Pancholi works with board certified anesthesiologists because this is all they do and they have the highest level of training to administer anesthesia. This means Dr. Pancholi is able to focus completely on your surgery while your anesthesiologist monitors your breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. This gives you the highest possible level of safety and care.

Q: Does Dr. Pancholi have hospital privileges?

A: Yes, and this is important. Although complications are unlikely, you want to know that your doctor can care for you in a hospital setting if that is determined to be the level of care you need. To ensure that you get the highest level of safety, Dr. Pancholi has both admitting AND surgical privileges for all of his cosmetic surgery procedures.

Q: How do I find out if a doctor has hospital privileges?

A: You can call your local hospital to find out if the doctor you are considering has both admitting and surgical privileges. To protect yourself fully, we recommend that you do this.

Q: Does Dr. Pancholi have a good reputation?

A: Yes, he does. He's considered an expert. He's lectured on cosmetic surgery locally, nationally, and internationally. He's performed live surgery demonstrations of facial, breast, and body cosmetic procedures, teaching other surgeons to learn his techniques. He's also been the guest doctor on a number of "Ask the Dr" radio programs and been featured in both the New York Times and the Las Vegas Sun.
