Patients need to feel comfortable with their plastic surgeon and confident in their expertise with the procedure that is planned. All board certified plastic surgeons need to demonstrate competence in all areas of plastic surgery in order to be certified by the specialty. This confirms a level of expertise that consumers can feel reassured about. Plastic surgeons are the only physicians who are trained with an eye for the aesthetic from day one of residency whether it is for reconstructing patients back to normal or improving patients’ appearance through cosmetic procedures.

It is important to check your plastic surgeons credentials as well as ask for their experience with the proposed procedure. It is helpful to ask for before and after photographs of their patient results. Another great resource is talking to patients who have had this procedure performed by this surgeon for their overall experience and satisfaction.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is an organization reserved for board certified plastic surgeons that demonstrate an interest in aesthetic surgery and have a significant portion of their practice dedicated to it, as well as an interest in continuing education in this area. The web site is an excellent resource for consumers and I think you will find it helpful in making your decision.
