Q. What is important in choosing a plastic surgeon?
A.
Most importantly you must feel
comfortable with your surgeon. You should verify your physician
is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This
means your surgeon has undergone a thorough peer review and testing
on all plastic and reconstructive surgery standards. You should
also carefully consider where you surgeon wishes to perform your
procedure. Make sure your surgeon is qualified to do the procedure
you are considering in a local hospital before allowing it to take
place in an office based surgery center. Many well-intentioned surgeons
operate in surgery centers in order to do procedures they have not
been credentialed to do in the hospital.
