How To Choose A Good Cosmetic Surgeon
Choosing a cosmetic surgeon is done with a lot of care
. The usual process is consultation, exchange of ideas and opinions, and an outline of intended cosmetic work. Some patients shop around, looking for options and second opinions, or to see what's available. Others prefer to use cosmetic surgeons with a good reputation for high quality work. Whether getting a facelift, a nose job, or
wrinkle treatment , people prefer to work with the best.
Cosmetic surgeon shopping, basics and issues
The bottom line for people seeking cosmetic surgery is quality. They put a lot of effort into finding specialists, and checking out their work. This isn't vanity, it's common sense. These procedures need to be done properly, and nobody wants to be guessing about results.
The basics are:
Types of work being done
Costs
The surgeon's advice
Options
The cosmetic surgeon will be chosen on the basis of providing the best in all these areas.
The issues are:
Risks, if any
Quality of work
The surgeon's track record
Recommendations for or against the procedure
With most cosmetic procedures, there are real risks involved. The quality of work is considered a risk, however, and the surgeon has to be considered good. The recommendations for or against the procedure are another issue, depending on the patient's perspectives.
Getting opinions
Cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and it's quite common for people to double check information by getting second or third opinions about the work to be done from cosmetic surgeons. Another source of opinions is networking. Professional models, for example, often have a "jungle telegraph" among their friends for good cosmetic surgeons. Other people often get cosmetic surgery on the basis of recommendations from friends who've had work done by a particular surgeon.
Getting quotes
Cost is an issue, and can vary widely. Interestingly, a price bandwidth is a measure of some aspects of cosmetic surgery practice. The big, popular, busy cosmetic surgeries tend to be a bit cheaper, because they're getting a lot of business. That's an indicator of a healthy practice, and of happy customers who are recommending it to their friends.
Making a decision
It's still a big decision, even when you're perfectly happy with the quality of work, the surgeon's ideas, and the quotes. Whether you're getting a facelift,
breast augmentation, a nose job or Rhinoplasty , it's important to be happy with your decision.
The decision needs to include:
Being satisfied with the options
Being sure that the work is what you want
Being convinced that you're doing the right thing
Being sure of the risk factor, even if it's minor
You'll find that cosmetic surgeons understand and sympathize with the decision making process. You'll find them supportive regarding any worries you may have about the procedure and the idea. They will provide options if you want them, and go into detail about any possible doubts
