Garth Fisher, M.D., F.A.C.S. - Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

I knew nothing about plastic surgery prior to meeting Dr.Garth Fisher. His instructional skills and rapport with patients are equally matched with his skills as a master surgeon. The Naked TruthSeries is the natural extension of Dr. Fisher's remarkable abilities asboth a surgeon and a teacher.
Howard Schultz, Creator and Executive Producer of "Extreme Makeover"

The Naked Truth provides the in depth story behind the mostof the procedures performed on Extreme Makeover .. and far beyond. Dr.Fisher has created a visual encyclopedia of plastic surgery today andtomorrow, and has produced it with the same gifts he brings to hispractice: surgical precision and artistic flair.
Charles Bangert & Louis Gorfain, Executive Producers of "Extreme Makeover"

In my practice I am very often asked questions concerningcosmetic surgery, the implications, risks and benefits. Now I have aviable resource to refer potential patients to, in The Naked Truthseries. In my professional opinion, anyone contemplating cosmetic surgeryshould inform themselves with this series. Dr. Fisher provides thevehicle for an informed and well-educated decision. The potential patienthas been given a valuable tool.

After being selected as a patient on ABC's "Extreme Makeover"show, I was asked to watch the "Naked Truth about Plastic Surgery" videoseries covering the procedures I was having. These videos were incrediblyinformative! They made me feel very comfortable about my surgery. Irecommend them for anyone considering plastic surgery.
Kine Corder, Patient, Extreme Makeover

I was glad that I got to review these videos prior to havingmy surgery with Dr. Fisher on ABC's "Extreme Makeover" show. Seeinghundreds of before and after pictures, graphics, illustrations, anddemonstrations really helped me understand the procedures and all theoptions that I had. It helped that I could review these over and overagain privately. I wasn't so nervous and I was able to remember so muchmore! I definitely recommend these tapes to anyone even thinking abouthaving plastic surgery!
Tammie Guthrie, Patient Extreme Makeover

Although I was given a lot of information about my upcomingsurgical procedures, nothing compares to the quality of information Ireceived from the "Naked Truth about Plastic Surgery" videos. I was ableto review the videos several times to help understand things better, andremember things that I had forgotten! I really had a much better pictureof what my expectations should be!
Dave Patteson, Patient, Extreme Makeover

To make sure that I was fully informed of the risks,benefits, and alternatives regarding my chosen surgical procedures, mydoctor required that I watch the "Naked Truth about Plastic Surgery"video series. These videos made everything very clear and easy tounderstand. It was very helpful to follow patients just like me throughthe entire experience before and after surgery, without seeing the actualsurgery. (I think that would have scared me!) I think the tapes wereincredible and made me feel very much more confident about my surgery!
Melissa Jones, Patient, Extreme Makeover

As a cosmetic dentist I am aware of the apprehension patientsoften experience before a procedure. The Naked truth series answers allof the questions a patient might have and shows a plethora of before andafter cases along with a comprehensive explanation of each procedure. Inot only recommend this series for interested patients but it should berequired reading so all patients can make the best-informed decision onwhat procedures they desire.

It is very important that each and every patient who isconsidering a plastic surgery operation be properly educated andinformed. It is ideal when a prospective patient, prior to seeing theirplastic surgeon, can leisurely review a comprehensive and veryinformative DVD. This will then provide the patient, prior to their firstconsolation, with a significant amount of basic information allowing themto better understand and communicate with their plastic surgeon All toofrequently, most of the available public information about plasticsurgery available in magazines, the internet, etc. is misleading andinaccurate. The Naked Truth About Plastic Surgery Video Tape Seriesprovides a patient with an honest, accurate, very comprehensive, veryinformative, and user-friendly addition to their own plastic surgeryconsultation. The video series provides the viewer with easy tounderstand verbal and visual information about the procedure, before andafter photographs, actual patient consultations with pre andpostoperative examinations, the potential risks and complications, thealternatives available to a patient, the expected postoperative course,and the recovery period. In order to be more completely informed, everyprospective patient should have this series available to them.

As a trial attorney who regularly deals with medicalnegligence issues, I often come across situations where patients do nottruly understand the risks and possible complications before receivingsurgery. The Naked Truth is an excellent tool to help ensure thatcosmetic surgery candidates appreciate all aspects of their own chosenprocedure.

These tapes are a must see for any patient contemplatingplastic surgery. The information conveyed is easy to understand yetthoroughly comprehensive.

The Naked Truth-Video/DVD Series by Garth Fisher, represents a significant contribution to patient education. This will serve as a wonderful way that people can obtain up-to-date information about areas of concern for them. People can now learn a great deal about plastic surgery in the privacy of their own home. This series can assist in providing a considerable amount of the information that someone would receive in an initial consultation or may also provide a second opinion for a person who has already had a consultation with another plastic surgeon. Helpful pre and post-operative photos are shown. A number of alternatives are presented along with advantages and disadvantages that are explained by Dr. Fisher in a remarkably objective way. The risks and potential complications are covered in a realistic manner.

The Naked Truth Video/DVD on facial rejuvenation nicely presents various types of facelifts and explains the differences and advantages. The discussion includes deep-plane techniques and explains this in an understandable and down-to-earth manner. Endoscopic surgery is also presented in a balanced and insightful way. Dr. Fisher also includes a comprehensive discussion about incisions, including the advantages of hidden incisions and how these vary so greatly between surgeons. The importance of skin texture is also presented in relation to the healing process.

A number of helpful hints are given to people about how they should approach a plastic surgery consultation. Dr. Fisher stresses the importance of asking for and seeing photos of the surgeon's own patients,and also talking with patients that have been operated on by that surgeon. Key points about recovery and post-operative instructions are also discussed in a way that helps people realistically plan for having cosmetic surgery. This is an educational series that I would highly recommend.

The Naked Truth video series is going to change the way patients prepare for surgery. In the past, patients had to rely solely on their surgeon top provide them with all the information they needed to know regarding their procedure. Now patients will have additional and more comprehensive means to become better informed, and ultimately more comfortable with the entire surgical process.

One of the key elements of a successful risk management program is the integrity and consistency of the disclosure process in obtaining the consent from a patient. The videos developed by Dr Fisher thoroughly prepare the patient to make a truly informed decision about the procedures they are contemplating. They would make a valuable supplement to any active surgical practice and are an essential component to a quality risk management program.
