subject: Plastic Surgeon - Finding a Good One [print this page] There is usually a tendency fr mst t either g with a safe dctr recmmended by family and friends r t search fr the best ut there n yur wn. There are advantages t bth methds and many ther steps that can ensure yu get the best ne available.
First, yu shuld simply add thse recmmended by family, friends and ther dctrs t yur list f ptential candidates. This list will be a cmbinatin f the nes yu were recmmended and nes yu find in yur exhaustive search fr the best. Yu may nt want t put ut this much effrt in seeking a practitiner, but yu shuld really cnsider ding s.
This persn is ging t literally reshape yu int a different lking persn and yu dn't want t allw the wrng dctr t take this task n. If yu happen t have fund a dctr that is trusted by everyne yu knw and that makes yu cmfrtable with the surgery, then g with that ne by all means. Hwever, if yu have the time and the mney t get the mst ut f yur decisin t g thrugh with csmetic surgery, then yu shuld d just that.
Yu can cmpile the rest f yur list frm the American Sciety f Plastic Surgens, all f which must meet certain minimum qualificatins in rder t be a member. Finding the nes that are members f this sciety will ensure a certain level f training and experience. Be sure that any name yu place n yur list is als certified by the American Bard f Plastic Surgery t save time because yu dn't want t underg csmetic surgery with anybdy wh isn't certified by that bard.
nce again, bard certificatin frm this specific bard dentes a certain level f training and experience specifically with csmetic prcedure. Anther great resurce t help yu find the best surgens is the Castle Cnnlly publicatin which lists America's best plastic surgens every year.
nce yu have yur list, yu can begin t whittle away at it by eliminating ne at a time. The first and best way t srt ut n yur list is by where they went t schl. This may sund harsh, but if yu want the best ne pssible yu shuld really start with their educatin.
After yu have ranked each ne n yur list by educatin, yu shuld rank each plastic surgen by hw much prfessinal experience they have. Next, yu need t research which dctrs n yur list are specialists in the specific prcedures yu want t have dne. These three parameters shuld have narrwed dwn yur list cnsiderably. Just t be duble sure, check and make sure yur dc desn't have t many malpractice suits. A few malpractice suits dn't mean a thing, but a whle mess f litigatin is a warning flag.
Hpefully, yu nw have a shrt list f n mre than three dctrs. These are the nes yu shuld schedule cnsultatins with immediately. Sme may ffer free cnsultatins and thers may ffer t waive the cnsultatin fee nce yu cmmit t surgery with them, but either way yu shuld nt let this effect yur decisin.
Hpefully, nce yu have met with each f yur tp three dctrs, yu will simply knw which ne yu want t wrk with. The ne whse cnsultatin was the mst infrmative and cmfrting shuld prbably be the ne yu chse.
