How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon
Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, West Chester, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania
For some patients, choosing a plastic surgeon is the most intimidating part of the process. This choice will affect:
- The quality of work
- The care and advice you receive along the way
- Any follow-up care you may need
Questions to ask prospective cosmetic surgeons
- How long have you been performing cosmetic surgery?
- Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
- At which hospitals do you have privileges?
- Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
- Can I speak to some of your previous clients about their experience?
- Can I view before and after photographs of the proposed procedure?
- What will the cost be and do you offer any financing options?
- What happens if the results aren’t what we planned?
As you talk with the doctor
Don’t be shy about consulting your list of questions. Request clarification if you don’t understand his answers the first time. Notice his or her demeanor and attitudes. Does he:
- Listen to you?
- Answer your questions clearly?
- Seem rushed and eager to get on to the next task?
- Clearly explain your options?
- Seem well-informed and enthusiastic about what he does?
