Follow-Up Care

A good plastic surgeon does not stop taking care of you when the surgery is complete, he or she provides follow up-visits and surgical revisions should those be necessary.

Experience

If your plastic surgeon is experienced he or she will have evidence of performing, on a regular basis, a wide variety of cosmetic surgeries. Ask about the experience of surgeons you are considering, in particular regarding the procedure or procedures you are interested in. If the technique is new ask your surgeon if evidence of the effectiveness and safety of the procedure has been published in peer-reviewed publications.

Rapport

Just because your plastic surgeon is experienced, that doesn’t mean he or she is right for you. Make sure your plastic surgeon communicates well for your personal tastes, openly discussing realistic expectations, goals and the strategy for your surgery.

Thoroughness

Your consultation should be extremely thorough, including a review of your existing medical conditions, medical history and an explanation of how your needs will be met.

Reliable Sources

Verify the board certification of your plastic surgeon independently by checking up with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Find-a-Surgeon provides free referral information on surgeons with extensive experience. The ASAPS website also displays detailed information on cosmetic surgical procedures.
