When planning your plastic surgery, it’s so easy to get caught up in choices related to your appearance and costs that you may overlook one of the most critical components of your decision – your choice of surgeon!
Even the most reasonable and well-planned plastic surgery procedures will fall short of your goals without an experienced surgeon at the helm. Keep these 3 factors in mind when choosing which surgeon you want to trust with your outcome:
-
Board Certification
First and foremost, you should make sure that the surgeon you choose has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This certification indicates that your doctor has received advanced training in plastic surgery procedures and has passed rigorous oral and written exams to ensure a high level of competency in the field. This training includes working with other skilled doctors and plastic surgeons throughout post-doctoral internships and residencies.
-
An Aesthetic Eye
The best plastic surgeons have developed an eye for beauty and aesthetically pleasing results. Plastic surgery is just as much art as science. Cosmetic treatments and plastic surgery procedures require a mixture of technical and artistic skill to deliver results that look elegant and natural. Look at some before and after photos of patients treated by the surgeon you’re considering to assess his or her eye for aesthetics and whether he or she is performing the type of work you’d like to see in your own figure.
-
The Ability to Listen
Quality plastic surgeons will carefully listen to your cosmetic goals. This involves answering technical questions, addressing your concerns and helping you feel comfortable and informed enough to move forward with your procedure. Don’t assume every doctor will be willing to work with you. Shop around until you find one who is willing to listen and accommodate your needs.
