Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions the breast augmentation patient will have to make. The choice is one that should not be taken lightly. Breast augmentation is considered a relatively safe cosmetic procedure, but it is surgery nonetheless. Below are important questions that you should ask any potential surgeon:
- Is the surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? You can verify a doctor’s certification by contacting the American Board of Medical Specialties at 800-776-2378 or 866-275-2267.
- Does the surgeon have privileges at an accredited hospital to perform Breast Augmentation? 50% of cosmetic procedures are not performed in a hospital. Nevertheless, when a doctor has privileges to perform surgery at an accredited hospital, it is a good indication that the doctor is qualified and has the necessary training to be accepted by that hospital.
- Does the surgeon have any special training in Breast Augmentation?
- How long has the surgeon been performing Breast Augmentation?
- Is Breast Augmentation a major portion of the surgeon's practice?
- How many Breast Augmentation procedures does the surgeon perform annually?
- Does the surgeon have before and after photos for you to review of previous Breast Augmentation patients?
- What state(s) is the surgeon licensed to practice surgery in?
- What is the most common complication the surgeon encounters with Breast Augmentation and how does he/she deal with it?
- How often does the surgeon need to reoperate after Breast Augmentation and what is the most common type of reoperation performed?
