HOW TO CHOOSE A QUALIFIED 
PLASTIC SURGEON

No matter what type of plastic surgery you are contemplating the most important factor to consider is the surgeon you choose.  When choosing a plastic surgeon, ask friends, doctors, nurses and local hospitals for recommendations.

You may call the American Society of Plastic Surgeons at 1-800-635-0635 for a list.  The A.S.P.S. guarantees that the plastic surgeon is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  The A.S.P.S. is a professional society dedicated to quality care for plastic surgery patients.

Keep in mind that any physician may advertise themselves under any specialty regardless of their training, expertise or credentials.  Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is a good way to assure yourself that the plastic surgeon has had excellent training and passed rigorous written and oral examinations.

Ask your surgeon how much experience he/she has had in the procedure you are contemplating.  Consider speaking with former patients. Most importantly you need to have a rapport with the surgeon you choose.  While many plastic surgeons are quite capable, you must feel comfortable with whom you choose.  During your initial consultation your surgeon should discuss various options, alternatives as well as risks.  You should feel confident that your surgeon has enough experience to deal with and treat complications should they occur.
