Questions You Should Ask Your Plastic Surgeon

Hartford, CT

Choosing your plastic surgeon is not something that should be taken lightly. We strongly urge you to take your time as you shop around for the surgeon that is right for you. Many plastic surgeons have websites that include pages describing their education, experience, and other credentials. This is a good place to start. However, you will want to choose a plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable talking to. You may need to speak personally with several plastic surgeons before settling on the right one for you.

Here are some questions to ask your plastic surgeon during your initial consultation:

How much experience do you have?
While there are some very talented and capable plastic surgeons that have just recently finished school and gone into practice, nothing can compare to years of experience in the field. It is also important to ask your surgeon how much experience he or she has doing specific procedures. If you are interested in a breast augmentation, for example, make sure you ask how much experience your surgeon has performing breast augmentations.
Do you have before and after photos?
An experienced plastic surgeon should have an extensive collection of before and after photographs to show you. A procedure like breast augmentation has many different implant placement, incision placement, and other options. You should be sure to look at before and after photos of each of these options as well.
Are you a board certified plastic surgeon?

It should never be assumed that a surgeon claiming to be a plastic surgeon is board certified. Board certification ensures that your plastic surgeon is fully qualified and capable to perform your surgery. Many plastic surgical procedures are not easily reversible, or easy to fix if not done properly the first time. You do not want to put your appearance in the hands of any surgeon who does not meet these board standards.
