As a patient going in for plastic surgery, the period leading up to surgery is as important as the surgery itself. To make the most of the entire process, you must know the right questions to ask your doctor before going in. When the right questions are asked, it becomes easy for the surgeon to understand the goals and concerns of the patient.\u00a0 Here are some critical questions to ask.<\/p>\n
Before you get started with any surgeon, you have to know what education and certification they have. In the United States, there is no limitation on what procedures a doctor can perform.\u00a0 In fact, many doctors perform procedures that they have absolutely no formal training in!\u00a0 There are pediatricians, general practitioners, and ob\/gyns in the Dallas\/Fort Worth performing liposuction, tummy tucks and breast augmentations.\u00a0 This is absolutely WRONG!\u00a0 For this reason, you must insist that your surgeon is board certified or board eligible with the American Board of Plastic Surgery!\u00a0 Do not be fooled by imitators.\u00a0 These doctors will tell you that they are board certified, but they will not tell you that it is the American Board of Family Medicine or Obstetrics or Pediatrics.\u00a0 Do not also be fooled by the American Board of \u201cCosmetic Surgery\u201d.\u00a0 This is not a real board.\u00a0 It is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties and has no formal residency training programs.<\/p>\n
When deciding on a procedure, patients need to know both what health and what cosmetic risks come with each procedure.\u00a0 Often the risks that people have envisioned are rare or not real concerns, but they are unaware of the most common side effects of a procedure.<\/p>\n
Patients often focus on just the day of the procedure and the immediate few days of recovery after the procedure.\u00a0 The reality is that there is often much more that goes into it.\u00a0 For patients that travel in for surgery, have young children or busy work schedules to coordinate, it is important that they know what post-operative visits are necessary to ensure a great outcome.<\/p>\n
You have to be informed if you are going to make the right decision on your plastic surgeon.\u00a0 These questions will help make sure you have all of the information necessary to make the right decision!<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving thorough conversations with your surgeon can help you gain a sense of familiarity and trust with someone who will be providing a personalized and intimate surgery,\u201d says Sacha Obaid, M.D. of North Texas Plastic Surgery<\/a>. \u201cAsking relevant questions gives you a better sense of who that surgeon is and why they may or may not be the right fit for your aesthetic goals.<\/p>\n The post Questions to Ask Before Going In for Plastic Surgery<\/a> first appeared on WB News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a patient going in for plastic surgery, the period leading up to surgery is as important as the surgery itself.
