Take the time to do your research and ask questions. A qualified surgeon should welcome questions about their background and be pleased that you are concerned enough to ask.
Here are some guidelines to assist you in selecting a qualified cosmetic surgeon.
- Decide what it is you want to improve about yourself.
- Consider interviewing several doctors prior to a procedure. There are many different ways to perform different procedures.
- Ask about the cosmetic surgeon's experience with the procedure you are considering.
- Ask the surgeon how many of these procedures he actually performed during his training. For example, there is a large difference in the skill set one gains after performing 40 face lifts as opposed to 5 or 6.
- Look at the surgeon's previous patients before and after pictures. This may give you some indication as to the surgeon's ability.
- Ask to speak to previous patients that have undergone the procedure you are interested in having performed.
- Make sure you are comfortable with the personal rapport between you and your surgeon. In addition, you should feel at ease with the cosmetic surgery staff. You should always feel that your concerns are being addressed.
- Finally, it might be helpful to consider the surgeon's "word of mouth" reputation for performing quality work.
