Selecting a Surgeon

It may seem cliche to say, but your selection of a plastic surgeon is probably as important as your decision to undergo cosmetic surgery. This decision should be based upon a review of qualifications, training, years of experience, before and after patient photographs, along with open and honest communication between you and your potential plastic surgeon of what you are expecting from the experience. Mutual honesty is paramount as this promotes trust, and though the thought of elective surgery may be anxiety provoking, you should feel comfortable in your “gut” about your choice of the doctor who performs the plastic surgery and the staff of the practice that will support you through the entire process. There are some basic questions that you should ask your potential plastic surgeon, and having a list of questions is a great first step in starting your research.
