How to Find a Top Plastic Surgeon
When you’re considering a cosmetic procedure, it’s important to make sure you have all of the information you need to make the right decision for your desires and expectations. In order to do this, you will need to find the very best surgeon available to you!
There are many reasons not to choose a plastic surgeon based solely on their price tag. The best surgeons will be able to provide realistic, accurate, and honest feedback on the procedures they are considering and the benefits and downsides to each option. They will help their patients find the right solution and not simply perform whatever procedure is requested without discussing it first.
Because revision surgery is more complicated than the initial procedure, it’s always a good idea to make sure you’re getting what you want the first time around, and that requires an experienced and talented cosmetic surgeon.
Where to look
Begin by asking friends and family members that may have undergone cosmetic treatments who their surgeon is. This is a great way of finding a trustworthy doctor, as the people closest to you will likely give you the most honest description of their experiences.
If you have any contacts in the medical field, put those to work for you as well by asking for the most highly recommended names in the industry. Finally, and most importantly, look online for cosmetic surgeons near you and be sure to spend time reading their online reviews. People tend to only leave reviews when they are really happy or really upset with a service, so this will give you a good gauge of their work before you even see pictures of their results.
Criteria to consider
Once you have a short list of potential surgeons, it’s time to consider some important criteria. Remember: not all surgeons will be experienced or talented with all procedures, so be sure to check any potential surgeon’s websites to see what their areas of expertise are. While considering your options, ask yourself the following questions:
- What is each surgeon’s specialization and does it align with my needs?
- How many years of experience does each surgeon have? How many times have they performed the procedure I want?
- Where will the procedure be performed and what medical equipment is available?
- Is the surgeon friendly and approachable while remaining professional?
- Does each surgeon provide before and after photographs of their previous patients?
- When asking questions, do you find the surgeon open and engaging or cagey and dismissive?
Once you have answered these questions and narrowed down your list to the best choices, it’s a good idea to consult with more than one surgeon in order to be sure you are getting an honest opinion from each. At this stage it is also a good idea to consider the full price of your desire procedure.
