Choosing a Plastic Surgeon

CHOOSING YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON | EYE SURGEON | OCULOFACIAL SURGEON

Cosmetic surgery is an exacting medical field of specialties that requires years of experience and training to achieve true proficiency and to perfect the finessed techniques necessary to produce exceptional results. Your choice of a qualified, experienced specialty plastic surgeon is crucially important to the overall success of your surgery.

While is it always important to carefully research your medical professionals, the selection process to find an exceptional specialty plastic surgeon must be performed with particular attention to a number of key variables:

• Although some cosmetic procedures can technically be performed by surgeons who are not specifically trained in specialty areas of plastic surgery, this lack of specialized training may increase the potential for complications and undesirable aesthetic results. Choose a surgeon with extensive experience and proven results to help you achieve the goal of beautifully natural results that are tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic preferences.
• Always check the credentials of your cosmetic surgeon, looking in particular for a surgeon who is properly credentialed, experienced in the procedure you are considering, and highly esteemed by patients and colleagues alike.
• Because it involves modification of the delicate facial features, cosmetic surgery of the eyes or face should only be performed by a qualified oculofacial plastic surgeon who has mastered the advanced surgical techniques necessary to preserve your inherent natural beauty and maintain a harmonious balance of your facial features. Specialized training in both oculofacial plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery provides a level of expertise not found in the surgeon who “does everything.”

• If you are interested in undergoing cosmetic eyelid surgery, make sure that your facial surgeon has a strong educational and fellowship background, as well as years of experience specializing in a variety of cosmetic eyelid surgeries, such as: eyelid lift surgery, blepharoplasty, eyelid reconstruction, eyelid correction surgery, and medical eyelid surgery for conditions like eyelid ptosis and basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid.
• The best cosmetic surgeons will never employ a ‘cookie cutter’ or ‘one size fits all’ surgical approach. Instead, the most qualified surgeon will take the time to work collaboratively with you, listening to your aesthetic concerns and studying your distinctive facial structure, before advising you as to the optimal treatment course to fulfill your specific cosmetic objectives.
• Your doctor should be experienced treating a wide range of cosmetic concerns for a diverse group of patients. Furthermore, your doctor should have a proven history of producing naturally beautiful results, as evidenced by untouched before-and-after photos that demonstrate a versatile clinical skillset. It is important to closely examine these case study photos to make sure that your potential surgeon customizes every procedure.
