How to Find the Right Plastic Surgeon for Your Breast Augmentation Surgery?

One way to help ensure that you choose the right surgeon for your breast augmentation surgery is to spend time doing some research prior to having any consultation done. You will need to carefully select a board-certified plastic surgeon. A board-certified plastic surgeon means that the surgeon has undergone rigorous training and has received certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. This is also known as the ABPS and this is crucial when selection a surgeon. Always make sure that your surgeon is board-certified and if never consider having any procedure done with a surgeon who is not certified.

Certain criteria must be met for the surgeon to achieve board certification. One of the first criteria that all surgeons need to meet is that they must be a graduate of an accredited university as well as having successfully completed a minimum of five years of surgical residency. This helps to ensure that the surgeon is proficient in their skills that will give you the confidence to allow this surgeon to perform breast augmentation surgery on you.

In addition to the residency requirement in order to become a board-certified surgeon the surgeon will also need to have 3 years of experience in general surgery as well as 2 years of active plastic surgery experience. On top of all these requirements the surgeon will also need to pass all the written and comprehensive exams in order to gain the certification from the board.

The board was set in place to set a standard for all plastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons need to be skilled in surgery as well as plastics in order to deal with any complications that may arise during surgery. While complications may not happen to often it is always wise to have a surgeon that can handle them if they do. When selecting your plastic surgeon there is more to wonder than just the fact of them being board-certified. While being board-certified does instill a higher level of confidence consider all factors before choosing.

Prior to making your choice ask the surgeon for some pictures of previous work. Being able to see before and after pictures can help to show you the level of skill that the surgeon has. If possible, ask the surgeon for references. Many times surgeons will be more than glad to provide with past clients and you can speak to them directly and talk to them about their experiences with the surgeon. This may not always be possible due to privacy laws but it never hurts to ask.

Finally ask your plastic surgeon about their hospital privileges. A reputable plastic surgeon will be able to perform your surgery in their clinic as well as in area-accredited hospitals. Make sure that the teams of nurses that will be assisting are also highly skilled and have hospital privileges as well. All team members should be board certified through nursing boards or anesthesiologists’ accreditation. The bottom line is that you need to feel comfortable. Trust your instincts as feeling comfortable and confident are a crucial part in having a positive and successful plastic surgery experience.
