How to choose plastic
surgeon:
Pick your plastic surgeon based on a combination of research
and references. The American Medical Association provides a great tool for researching
all physicians at their website, www.ama-assn.org.
You can also verify that your plastic surgeon belongs to the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgeons (AAFPRS).
Questions to ask your plastic surgeon:
- How many procedures of this type have you performed?
- What are the risks involved with the procedure?
- What is the expected
recovery time?
- How much will the surgery cost? In most cases, your surgery
won't be covered by insurance so make sure that you understand all the costs before
committing. The doctor's fee often does not include the anesthesiologists fee
and may not include surgery center or hospital fees.
