Cosmetic surgeons Some Questions to Ask

- Are you credentialed and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery?

- Which hospitals do you have privileges at?

- Are the surgical facilities where you work accredited? You can check on this with:

   * The AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities), www.aaaasf.org/Facilities, or

  * The AAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc.), www.aaahc.org/accreditation/search.shtml

- How long have you been doing plastic surgery?

- Can I speak with some of your previous patients about what it was like?

- Am I a good candidate for cosmetic surgery? 

- How long have you been doing this procedure? (i.e., the one you’re interested in having)

- If something goes wrong, what will you do?

You can also check with the state medical board for complaints or malpractice suits against the doctor.

While you’re talking with the cosmetic surgeon, glance around his offices and notice whether they seem to be well organized, clean, and pleasant to be in.

Does the surgeon answer your questions readily? Does he give you enough time to get clear on everything? You want to choose a plastic surgeon you feel comfortable with, one you feel you can trust.

Cosmetic Surgery Popular Myths

Myth: A surgeon is a surgeon, so shop around for the cheapest one you can find.

This would be risky. There’s no mandated training for a general surgeon to hang out his shingle as a cosmetic surgeon. It would be wise to do some homework. Interview several and choose one who has credentials and certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

When considering expense, remember:
A surgeon asking a low fee may well be offering less care or service
Your good health and appearance are precious, so why would you toss them into the hands of an unqualified person?
Acquiring and maintaining a high quality surgical facility is expensive, as is using the best anesthetics and instruments. These costs have to be figured into the surgical fees charged. You surely want the best for yourself.

Myth: All surgeries leave nasty scars.

Not true any more. Because of recent developments and inventions, incisions can be very small and placed in hard-to-see locations. The resulting scars are often virtually invisible.

Keep these points in mind too:
Scars take up to a year to fully heal
Different individuals have different scarring responses, partly dependent on genetics
A scar which heals up in a faulty way can often be corrected by follow-up surgery

Myth: Cosmetic surgery is for rich people, vain people, movie people.

Not true any more. With the recent proliferation of techniques and reduction of costs, many people can afford cosmetic surgery. Many plastic surgeons offer financing plans and that’s a question to ask potential cosmetic surgeons when you’re shopping around for one.

Myth: The latest cosmetic surgery technique must be the best one.

Not necessarily true. Innovations are constantly being tried, but to determine which technique is best, studies must be done over a period of time, on enough patients, then peer-reviewed and published in reputable journals. Publication leads to more surgeons trying it out, which leads to more results that can be further studied and in this way we arrive at more certain knowledge of which techniques work the best, and for which purposes.

Myth: Liposuction is an easy way to lose weight.

Not true. Any reputable surgeon will ask you to lose as much weight as you can first, so as to improve your overall health. That’s because all surgery brings some risk, and the better your health is to start with, the better the results will be.

10 Things To Consider Before Having Cosmetic Surgery

Let’s have a look at what they are.

- Wht is the track record of the surgery centre itself? In other words, is there a lot of malpractice suits filed against it?

- Do you know anyone that has used the surgery centre? If so, what is their opinion of the place? Would they go back again? Why or why not?

- When you check out the surgery centre that you decide to use, what do the government agencies have to say about it?

- Once you have settled on the specific Dublin cosmetic surgery practice, then you must settle on a specific surgeon or doctor. Again, you must do some investigating. 

- Sit down with each of the doctors that do the procedure that you would like to have done, and interview them. Ask them lots of questions, being specific about what you want, and don’t be afraid—they are not God. If they act like they are, then they are not for you

- Once you have interviewed these cosmetic surgeons in Dublin, sit down, make a list, and weigh out your options. Take your time, and don’t rush. Your body is worth the extra time, and you should not rush into cosmetic surgery lightly.

- Consider the financial cost of the procedure you want done. Is the surgery centre one of those fly by night places that offers fifty or even seventy percent off their procedures on a regular basis? If so, then that is a definite red flag

- Is your information going to be kept confidential, or will it be sold to the highest bidder? Even though you sign papers requiring privacy, some places still do this. Has this surgery centre been caught doing so?

- Is the location of the surgery centre discreet? Will you be able to come and go without anyone really being able to notice you? Is there parking nearby that you can easily put your car in, and retrieve it at a later time? 

Sure, doing the research may take some time, and be a pain, but you are worth it, aren’t you? It is quite a bit of money to spend, but you’re definitely worth it…
