How do I select best plastic surgeon for me? Many services and even magazines often times list best doctors according to surveys conducted. Their surveys are usually based on doctors who are voted by their peers. Though it’s a good starting point, it’s only one component in finding best plastic surgeons. Here’s why:
•Surgeons are extremely busy and rarely participate in these types of surveys, so results are limited. •Surgeons can nominate their buddies and ask them to return favor, to attract new clientele. •Some surgeons are asked to nominate one of their peers in a certain area only.
What are 4 Critical Components in finding best plastic surgeons? •Education – They earned a degree from an accredited medical school. •Experience – How many cosmetic surgeries have they performed? •Recognition – Are they well recognized among their peers, patients, and medical societies, and/or involved in their communities? •Training – Does their residency and/or if fellowship focus on plastic surgery?
Bottom line: When having plastic surgery you will be looking at your surgeons work for rest of your life. Doing a little homework could be a wisely investment.
