How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon for You

How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon for You

If you are deciding to have plastic surgery, you have a lot of choices on your plate. While making the right choice for you, be sure that you are taking the same level of care and consideration when choosing a plastic surgeon to work with. Although most procedures are standard across the board, the level of patient care and understanding may differ. So, be sure that you choose to work with a doctor who always has your best interests in mind. Here are some essential things to consider when choosing the right surgeon for you.

Aesthetic Sense

One thing to keep in mind when making your choice is the doctor’s aesthetic sense. Does he/she have the same taste as you? Do they promote a body image that speaks to you? You want a doctor who will help you create the look you want, but that doesn’t mean that you want a yes-man. Your doctor should provide you with their professional opinion and inform you whether or not a particular procedure is right for you. They should have a sense of what size implants are too big, which procedure is your best option, and how much is too much. Make sure that their sense aligns with yours as to promote the best result.

Experience

Experience is essential when it comes to choosing a surgeon. If the doctor can show you before and after pictures as well as discuss previous surgical successes, you can be confident that they too, will provide you with similar results. And, keep in mind that the doctor should have experience in your particular area of interest. Plastic surgery encompasses a wide variety of procedures and requires a broad skill-set. Just because someone is a plastic surgeon, it does not necessarily mean that they have the experience in your particular area of interest. You should always feel comfortable and confident to ask questions such as “how much experience do you have on this procedure?” or “how many times have you performed this procedure?” Communication is key!

Education

A plastic surgeon is a doctor, which means that they studied and went to school for many years to get where they are today. You can trust that they put in the work and have the education to practice. Nonetheless, ensure that they are also board certified and ask them about their experience during the certification process. It is entirely acceptable and even encouraged to ask questions. Your doctor wants you to feel safe and comfortable under their care, even if that requires asking about their education and experience.

So, now that you have a better idea about choosing the right plastic surgeon for you let’s get started. Here at Baumholtz Plastic Surgery, we have the education, experience, and aesthetic sense to ensure your satisfaction. You can even schedule a video consultation to ensure that we are the right choice for you. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

My tummy tuck journey began about 3 1/2 months ago when I had my 1st office visit with Dr. Baumholtz. Dr. Baumholtz listened to what I wanted had done, he gave me his professional opinion and his recommendations and said “yes we can do it”, never pressured me to move forward with procedure, he told me when your ready you let me know. Dr. Baumholtz is an amazing Plastic Surgeon. I’m exactly 10 weeks post op - tummy tuck today, 3/18/22, I could not had asked for more, my results are amazing and could not be any happier. Dr. Baumholtz and his staff to date have gone above and beyond with my after care, they are always their for you and you are not left alone. Renee works with Dr. Baumholtz, she is very knowledgeable and always has an answer for you. Also, where I had my surgery was at emerge plastic surgery specialty center, awesome nurses and staff, always very attentive to me before and after surgery, facility was amazing. Thank you Dr. Baumholtz, you are awesome and thank for all you have done for me, I feel like I’m on top of the world. Anyone trying to get any plastic surgery procedure, go see Dr. Baumholtz, He WILL take care of you, he is awesome. 10 weeks ago today, 3/18/22, I’m amazed and beyond thankful, I’m just so happy with my tummy tuck.

Dr. B performed a breast reduction and it's been several years that I have not felt this AMAZING physically and mentally. Dr. B thank you and your staff (especially Renee) for providing the most AMAZING service with honesty, availability, and making me feel safe. I would recommend all day everyday. TOP NOTCH SERVICE.

Dr. B and his team made my experience very comfortable. I was well informed even with my own research and they are available to you pretty much 24/7. Anytime I had a question , I was able to get an answer within the same day. I’m very happy and pleased with my results!

I couldn’t be any happier with my results!! The entire process was such an amazing & positive experience and one I will never forget. I was treated like a person rather than a number. Everyone, from the staff at Dr. Baumholtz’s office to the staff at the surgical center were so comforting and reassuring. Renee and Katherine at the office have been more than great, and the surgical center staff were so professional and caring. All my questions & concerns were addressed and I felt like part of a family. Thank you to all who were involved on my journey!!

Mommy Make-Over. Tummy Tuck/Breast Lift Best Plastic Surgeon! Dr. Baumholtz is highly regarded as an excellent surgeon among his peers in the medical community. Every expectation of my procedure was met and exceeded. After meeting different surgeons , I chose Dr. Baumholtz because he was the MOST honest about managing my expectations, and of course because of the fact that he is a highly skilled board certified surgeon! Trust your surgeon - Thank you Dr. Baumholtz and staff !
