Plastic Surgeons Reveal Their Secrets - Plastic Surgery Secrets

We all know when it comes to board certified plastic surgeons, whichever the procedure being performed, it is being done by the finest surgeons available. But I’ve been wondering if there are any secret superstitions or habits that they honor before, during, and/or after a surgery. Here’s a peak at some of their answers.

DO THEY DARE WALK UNDER A LADDER BEFORE SURGERY?
Achieving board certification in plastic surgery requires years studying the science of anatomy. It’s not surprising then the first answer I got when I asked many of them if they are superstitious was, “No, I’m not superstitious.”

But pester them enough and eventually some of them will admit they may not have full-blown superstitious, but they may have certain rituals (as they call them) they don’t ever forget to practice.

IT MAY NOT BE AVOIDING THE PATH OF A BLACK CAT …
Dr. Brian Brzowski, a board certified plastic surgeon from Utah, does admit to one ritual about which he follows religiously.

“I always have a little coffee in the morning. I don’t have it at home and I don’t have any before I mark my patients,” Brzowski tells The Plastic Surgery Channel. “I have my coffee cup marked and I fill it up to there. That’s my max. I can have that amount of coffee and I can have it at the same time. That’s probably the biggest superstition I follow.”
