Cosmetic Surgeon in Manhattan – 3 Questions To Ask During Your Consultation
Posted by Edward Kwak on Wed, Aug 05, 2009 @ 12:17 PM
Choosing a cosmetic surgeon in Manhattan requires plenty of research. You have to know the right questions to ask in order to avoid choosing a surgeon who may not have your best interest in mind. To help with that I've come up with 3 vital questions to help you choose the right plastic surgeon for you.
1.) Are you board certified in facial cosmetic surgery?
More specifically I would recommend only going to surgeons board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Although choosing a board certified surgeon will not guarantee a competent surgeon skilled in your surgery of interest, it will insure that the surgeon meets a minimum requirement.
2.) If I am getting a nose job should I go to a facial plastic surgeon or a general plastic surgeon?
The gamut of cosmetic surgery is pretty large. So a surgeon may have a practice that is largely focused on bodywork, (liposuction, breast augmentation, or tummy tucks) while only performing a few facial cosmetic surgeries a year. If you are looking at a facial cosmetic procedure, it makes sense to seek a surgeon that focuses only on facial cosmetic surgery.
3.) How many of these surgeries do you do a year?
Even though all cosmetic procedures are viewed individually, this question will give you an impression of your surgeons area of expertise.
