Here are some important guidelines to follow for choosing the most qualified plastic surgeon:
- Make sure the surgeon is board certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
- The surgeon should have special training in plastic surgery, often called fellowship training.
- Make sure that the plastic surgeon is affiliated with a accredited hospital.
- Ask the plastic surgeon to provide photos of patients who have had surgery from them.
- Make sure that the plastic surgeon is trained in the latest cosmetic and reconstruction techniques and procedures.
