Myth #1 - Solely about appearance

It is undeniable that a significant part of the field of plastic surgery involves improving our physical appearance. While the first associations are often breast augmentation, nose surgery, and Botox, a myth comes with them, suggesting that plastic surgery offers solutions for how others see and perceive us. Appearance is often a motivation, but for many clients, more important is how they see themselves, not how others perceive them. Often, a glance in the mirror at excess fat, wrinkles, or hair can significantly diminish self-satisfaction and confidence. Numerous studies have shown that the majority of patients experience a significant improvement in self-confidence and quality of life. Appearance is important, but above all, it is crucial how we see ourselves.

Additionally, plastic surgery offers numerous solutions in the field of corrective and reconstructive surgery. Thus, procedures can address congenital anomalies, such as ear deformities, or issues arising from injuries and traumas, such as breast reconstruction after cancer or scars following surgeries. These, and many other procedures, make aesthetic surgery much broader than simply dealing with physical appearance.

Myth #2 - One plastic surgeon is good for everything

Whatever part of the body you choose, there is a procedure in the field of aesthetic surgery. However, one doctor cannot be equally proficient in every individual procedure. To achieve excellent results in multiple procedures, a lot of knowledge, experience, and hard work are required. That's why Colić Hospital has assembled a team of specialists, specialized in specific problems and procedures, so that our clients, regardless of their reason for coming to our institution, can always expect high standards and even better results.

Myth #3 - Intended only for the wealthy

In the media, we daily learn about wealthy stars and celebrities who have undergone cosmetic surgery or treatment. Hence, a perception has been created that plastic surgery is beyond the reach of ordinary people. While it may have been so in its early days, today the truth is far from that. Thanks to technological advancements and the development of new techniques and methods, this branch of surgery is more accessible than ever. For many problems that previously required going under the knife, there are now non-invasive, non-surgical, and equally good options. For example, the use of Botox or hyaluronic fillers is no longer a luxury but a rational, smart, and economical investment for people who care about their appearance and want to "turn back the clock."

Myth #4 - Can be performed in a clinic

With the growth of possibilities in plastic surgery and its popularization, there is an increasing number of clinics offering even the most demanding procedures as part of their services. While they may seem attractive with their prices, such offers, regardless of any recommendations, should be approached with enormous caution. Most procedures require exceptional expertise and knowledge, and when it comes to surgical procedures, a modern operating room and a well-coordinated team can't be surpassed in terms of results and, more importantly, patient safety. In such conditions, the chances of complications are minimized, and even if they occur, the expertise of the doctor is there to overcome and prevent them. In this regard, Colić Hospital stands out, with a team of 30 permanent employees, many of whom are full-time doctors and medical staff, always available and dedicated to our patients.

Myth #5 - Plastic surgery must be visible

The most popular "works" in the field of plastic surgery are extreme examples where its possibilities are pushed to the extreme. Our policy is that procedures should not strive to change someone's appearance but to help patients look good in their skin. Therefore, our best procedures are those that are not visible, exuding a natural appearance, and helping our clients feel more beautiful, better, and their best selves!
