Finding the Right Surgeon: A Brief Checklist
To determine whether a cosmetic surgeon is the right fit for your needs, consider the questions in this checklist:
- What are the surgeon’s academic credentials, training, certifications, and skills?
- How many years of plastic and reconstructive surgery training and experience does the surgeon have?
- Has the surgeon previously performed the specific procedure you are seeking?
- What surgical or non-surgical techniques the surgeon proposes to use to make your procedure safer, less invasive, and more effective?
- Will the cosmetic surgeon share with you before and after images and patient testimonials of their past work?
Is the Surgeon Board Certified in Plastic Surgery?
One of the quickest and most reliable ways to short-list or identify the best surgeon would be to find out whether they have a board certification in plastic surgery. Board certified plastic surgeons would have undergone a certain minimum years of training in plastic surgery (not just general surgery).
Only a handful of surgeons are able obtain the prestigious board certification in plastic surgery each year after going through a rigorous selection process. To maintain this certification, plastic surgeons usually invest in best medical practices, embrace cutting-edge surgical techniques and technology, constantly upgrade their skills and education, and adopt contemporary safety protocols.
Artistic Skills and Versatility
Your plastic surgeon should ideally have strong artistic sensibilities in order to create balanced, proportional, and natural looking results in every cosmetic procedure. They should have the versatility to provide multiple treatment options, modify the techniques to suit your figure, and tailor the procedure to make it less invasive yet more effective.
Personalized Care and Attention
You are more likely to achieve better outcomes and a deeper sense of satisfaction when your plastic surgeon and their team provide you individualized care and attention at every stage. Consider whether the surgeon and the staff are willing to answer your questions and concerns in detail and resolve all your doubts. Do they explain the inherent risks and benefits of your treatment options to help you make a concrete choice? Is the pricing transparent and will they provide all cost details upfront?
Personal Rapport Matters
A robust patient-surgeon relationship will make an impact to the final outcomes in almost any surgical or non-surgical treatment. When the relationship is based on trust and open communication, and you can feel a sense of warmth and compassion whenever you meet your surgeon, it will do wonders for your treatment experience.
