Important Questions to Ask Your Plastic Surgeon BEFORE Your Surgery
September 24th, 2009
In these tough times, many are being more frugal when it comes to beauty, but in some cases, cutting corners can be dangerous. According to Dr. Richard Chaffoo, president of the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital, many plastic surgeons are slashing their prices to attract customers affected by the weak economy. But ‘price shopping’ with plastic surgeons can be a very dangerous practice, and lead to serious health problems. So if you’re considering plastic surgery, be sure to ask your surgeon the following questions:
Are you board-certified?
Make sure your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board recognized to certify surgeons in the entire spectrum of plastic surgery. Make sure your plastic surgeon is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the largest plastic surgery society in the world.
How many times have you done this procedure?
Surgeons who frequently and regularly perform the particular procedure you request have often seen the variations, nuances, and even complications which make for a well seasoned expert. Also, if a surgeon sees referrals from others in his field, he is seen as an expert by his peers, the ultimate compliment.
