Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC announces its office-based surgical facility has been awarded accreditation from The Joint Commission for a sixth time.

Saratoga Springs, NY– Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC has been granted Office-Based Surgery Accreditation by The Joint Commission for its on-site operating room for a sixth time. This Gold Seal of Approval^® indicates board-certified plastic surgeon Steven Yarinsky, MD and his team have upheld the high performance standards set by the accrediting body. Having maintained this status for over 15 years denotes the practice’s commitment to providing safe and high quality patient care.

To renew its accreditation for another two to three-year period, Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC underwent a thorough on-site survey process on September 11, 2018. This unannounced visit involved a review of the practice’s office-based surgery, ensuring it was continuing to uphold The Joint Commission’s standards. The areas being evaluated during the review included coordination of care, patient education and training, proper monitoring of patients during procedures that involve deep sedation or anesthesia, and postoperative care plans. Further observations and interviews were also performed.

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission is the oldest and largest health care organization in the U.S. devoted to setting standards and providing accreditations. Its Office-Based Surgery Accreditation Program was established in 2001, to evaluate the quality of surgical practices that have four or fewer providers. Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC is the only Albany Capital District region medical facility and one of 350 organizations nationwide that are currently accredited by The Joint Commission for office-based surgery.

“As patients across the United States increasingly receive care in an office-based setting, Joint Commission accreditation provides office-based surgery organizations with processes contributing to improvements in patient care across a variety of areas,” said Pearl Darling, MBA, executive director, Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program. “We commend Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC and its staff for achieving this pinnacle demonstrating a commitment to patient safety and quality. Your passion, dedication and tenacity can ultimately improve patient care. Thank you for your commitment to patient safety and entrusting The Joint Commission to assist you.”

“Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC is thrilled to receive The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for a sixth time, confirming we are successfully accomplishing our goal of providing safe and effective surgical care to our patients,” added Steven Yarinsky, MD, Medical Director. “Our staff continuously strives to improve its processes to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care possible.”

The Joint Commission’s office-based surgery standards are a subset of its ambulatory care standards, which are established by consulting with experts in health care and quality improvement as well as with patients. The combination of scientific literature and expert consensus aid health care organizations in their mission to effectively measure, evaluate, and enhance their care.

Steven Yarinsky, MD, FACS was one of less than 80 physicians from around the world who attended the inaugural Swift Beauty Masterclass in Advanced Injector Therapy held September 28-30 at the Nestle Shield Center in New York City. Taught by world renowned Montreal plastic surgeon Arthur Swift, MD and Oculoplastic surgeon Stephen Fagien, MD, the course included live patient training in new facial filler and Botox^® techniques designed to produce the optimum cosmetic results while minimizing complications. The mission of the course was to help attendees to become the best in their specialty and locale while showing tips and tricks to produce exceptional injectable results. While featuring new techniques the focus was on delivering the highest level of care and safety to patients.

Dr. Yarinsky has long been recognized as an “Expert Injector” by New Beauty Magazine and personally provides all injectable services for facial rejuvenation at Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC. He attended the course to network with experts to learn and incorporate the latest injectable techniques into his practice to achieve the best possible results with rejuvenating, restoring and maintaining his patients’ youthful beauty. As a plastic surgeon with 30 years’ experience, Dr. Yarinsky provides cosmetic surgery such as face, neck, eyelid and forehead lifts. However he has found that the injectable filler and relaxer therapies are great not only to kick his cosmetic surgery results up a notch, but also to benefit those patients who would never consider having cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearances. Dr. Yarinsky is well respected and his services are sought by patients and other healthcare providers throughout the Albany Capital District Region, Upstate New York and Vermont. He is known for his comprehensive facial rejuvenation consultation and signature take-home Facial Rejuvenation Treatment Plan. Whether a patient is considering non-surgical or cosmetic surgery facial enhancement, Dr. Yarinsky designs an individualized treatment program to satisfy a patients’ needs and desires to look and feel their best.

Health insurance does not cover the cost of a cosmetic breast augmentation. The different fees included in the overall breast augmentation cost can vary depending upon which implant you choose and whether you need any procedures done at the same time—such as a breast lift to get the optimum cosmetic result. It is essential that you meet with Dr. Koumanis for evaluation at a personalized detailed consultation to get a firm quote for the procedure that will give you the result that you desire. Consultation will typically take an hour and includes computer imaging so that you can preview your results! Keep in mind that while some plastic surgeons quote only their “surgeon fee” for doing your procedure, this can be quite misleading. Dr. Koumanis will provide you with a “global fee” which covers his professional fee, use of our operating room facility, all preop and postop visits, anesthesia, breast implants and even touch up surgery, if needed during the first year to enhance your results. Included also is a yearly postop follow up visit at our office.

You will be responsible for covering the cost of any needed preoperative mammogram, blood work, medical clearance from your primary doctor, and the medications we prescribe. However, many patients have told us that their health insurance covers all or part of these expenses.

In addition, some health insurance plans do not provide coverage for treating complications resulting from cosmetic breast augmentation or revision surgery done to alter your appearance. Some insurance companies may also exclude coverage for breast diseases that may be linked to having breast implants. If you have any concerns about what your health insurance will cover, you should review your policy by speaking with a policy representative from your company prior to breast augmentation to ensure you know what to expect.

If you want to lower your total cost into smaller, monthly payments, you have the option of signing up for plastic surgery financing. If you are interested in learning more, our team would be happy to discuss your payment and financial assistance options with you once you consult with Dr. Koumanis and receive your fee estimate quote sheet.
