Avoiding Mistakes When Choosing a
Plastic Surgeon / Cosmetic Surgeon

What Doctors and Nurses Already Know
About Getting the Best Cosmetic Results

The Best Surgeons get the Best Results and choosing the right surgeon is the Most Important Factor in assuring a great result in Cosmetic Surgery

Board Certification in Plastic Surgery means the doctor has passed rigorous testing given by other experts in the field of Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery is a Branch of Plastic Surgery
There is "NO Board Certification in Cosmetic Surgery"

Answering Fancy Ads does not mean you are going to a good Plastic Surgeon

Doctors Making Television Appearances does not mean he or she is a great surgeon, but related to someone the doctor knows in that business.

Training in Plastic Surgery is Important, not what City the doctor has his or her practice.  Any doctor can open an office in Beverly Hills for example.

Consider These Red flags When Choosing a Cosmetic Surgeon

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: is not allowed to do the very same surgery in a hospital that he wants to perform for you in an office or clinic, he may have been judged unqualified by his peers to perform this surgery.

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: cannot perform every and all cosmetic surgical procedures available, you might end up with the only procedure he knows, rather than the one that fits you best.

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: claims expertise by saying this is the only procedure he does, this may signal a partially trained surgeon, who cannot perform other alternative procedures which might give you a better result.

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: claims he comes to the area once or twice weekly,  this usually means he is not busy enough at his other location and must travel to perform enough Cosmetic Surgery.

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: states he is a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon, you should know that neither the American Board of Medical Specialties, nor the State of California recognizes or awards board certification in cosmetic surgery.

If the cosmetic surgery doctor: is not a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, you won't have the assurance that the doctor was fully trained in all aspects of cosmetic surgery.

Don't be tricked into selecting an Institute or a Surgical Center, rather than actual Plastic Surgeon.  You will probably get an inexperienced surgeon, who is paid to perform surgery by the Institute.
