What is a Plastic Surgeon?
A plastic surgeon specializes in the art and science of enhancing, as well as reconstructing, structures of the face, breasts, body, and skin. This is accomplished primarily through the removal, transfer, or modification of soft tissue. Whether surgery is utilized to improve the appearance of well-functioning frameworks of the body, correct birth defects, or restore damaged structures, a plastic surgeon has extensive training in meeting each individual patient’s needs through personalized techniques while achieving long-term results that can appear natural. Furthermore, plastic surgeons who focus on aesthetic surgery are well-versed in performing a broad spectrum of facial rejuvenation, anti-aging, body contouring, and breast enhancement procedures, with some of the most popular cosmetic surgeries including breast augmentation, facelift surgery, liposuction, and abdominoplasty, among others.
Why Choose a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon?
When making a decision about your health and appearance, enlisting a plastic surgeon who demonstrates the highest standard of safety, patient care, and results is essential. More often than not, this expertise can be communicated through a plastic surgeon’s board-certification. While this credential is not mandatory to perform plastic surgery, you can be certain that a plastic surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery has completed additional training requirements beyond the minimum necessary to practice. With reexamination required every ten years, you can also feel confident that a board-certified plastic surgeon has up-to-date experience with the latest surgical techniques and keeps abreast of the latest advancements within the field. Ultimately, board-certification generally indicates a passion and commitment to achieving excellence in every stage of the treatment process, which are qualities that you deserve in your surgical or non-surgical enhancement.
How to Find the Best Plastic Surgeon for Your Aesthetic Needs
Choosing an experienced cosmetic surgeon who is well-qualified to achieve the results you desire may be the most important decision you make throughout the entire treatment process. While the selection process may seem daunting, the following tips can help you find the best plastic surgeon for your unique needs and aesthetic goals:
- Check credentials and training. You can research a surgeon’s educational background, professional memberships, and where they received their training to gain an idea of their expertise. Be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience performing, or who specializes in, your treatment of interest. A surgeon’s website should articulate whether particular emphasis is placed on a given procedure; alternatively, a consultation can provide you with an opportunity to ask him or her about their most frequently performed surgeries.
- Explore patient gallery. Take a look at before-and-after photos to gauge whether the results achieved with previous patients mirror your aesthetic desires. A plastic surgeon’s portfolio, or patient showroom, can be a great indication of their past work as well as the realistic outcomes that can be attained with cosmetic surgery.
- Review reputation. High-quality patient care and exceptional results usually go hand-in-hand. Read through online patient reviews on a multitude of platforms, such as Facebook, Google, and RealSelf, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the treatment experience under the care of a given surgeon. These assessments can also give you insight into a prospective surgeon’s ability to achieve high levels of patient satisfaction.
- Schedule a consultation. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, meeting a plastic surgeon in person can ultimately allow you to determine how comfortable you feel in their care. This is an opportunity for you to ask your prospective surgeon any questions you may have about their training, or the treatment process in general. Remember, your plastic surgeon should address your concerns thoroughly and never pressure you into making a decision.
