Choosing a Qualified Plastic Surgeon
This sad and disturbing report highlights the importance of always seeking out a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon. While there are many factors to consider, here are some general things to look for when choosing your surgeon.
Tips for finding a good plastic surgeon:
- Check their credentials. Before undergoing any procedure, make sure you’re dealing with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Never be afraid to ask for credentials—it’s your right.
- Insist on seeing past work. Before& After Pictures can give you a good sense of the kind of work a surgeon is capable of.
- Make sure they explain all your options. Each patient has unique needs and goals. Make sure your surgeon is explaining all available treatment options. For example, if you were looking to treat facial creases with injectables, have your doctor explain all your options, including Botox and dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane.
