Find a Qualified Surgeon
Not all surgeons operate with the same level of precision and skill. Take your time and carefully research the cosmetic surgeon you’re thinking of choosing. When you book in for your consultation, don’t feel embarrassed about asking them about their qualifications. A good surgeon has nothing to hide.
You’ll also want to know how long they’ve been practising the particular procedure you’re booking in for and what other procedures they specialise in.
Customer Experience
After ensuring that your practitioner is qualified to carry out your procedure, you’ll want to evaluate the customer service and general feeling that you receive from their staff and facility.
Keep in mind; a qualified doctor will never pressure you or provide vague responses. Instead, a good, experienced cosmetic surgeon will listen to your concerns, answer your questions thoroughly and clearly outline all of the information regarding your procedure.
From the first consultation to the post-surgery follow up, your surgeon should be committed to your cosmetic surgery experience.
Safety and their satisfaction should be their primary concern.
Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Once you have found a qualified doctor that you are comfortable with, it’s time to begin discussing the cosmetic surgery procedures that you desire.
Each cosmetic surgeon has their own style and operates using slightly different techniques. Therefore, it’s a good idea to look at before and after photos of a similar procedure before your surgery. These pictures can give you an insight into what is possible.
Other Questions to Ask Your Surgeon
During your consultation, it’s essential to be clear what you want to get out of this experience, and if you have any concerns regarding the procedure.
Additionally, this is the time to ask your surgeon any other questions that you have about your surgery. Some questions to consider are:
- Are there any risks associated with the procedure? If so, what are they?
- How many times have you performed this procedure? Have there been any complications?
- Are there other options available that would give me similar results?
- What will the procedure cost?
- What is my expected post-surgery recovery?
