How to select the right tummy tuck surgeon

August 10, 2012 Comments Off on How to select the right tummy tuck surgeon

When a patient decides a tummy tuck procedure is right for them, they are not done with their research. In fact, it is equally important for them to find out all they can about their prospective plastic surgeon. This way, they have a better chance of getting the desired results from their tummy tuck.

According to the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, many individuals want their plastic surgeon to be board certified. This ensures the surgeon has been practicing for at least five years and they have been performing cosmetic surgery for at least two years. It also offers some peace of mind that the surgeon only conducts procedures in accredited offices and regularly fulfills medical education requirements regularly.

Finally, patients should ask to see before and after photos of the people their surgeon has conducted a tummy tuck on previously. Plus, a consultation is a good time for prospective patient to get to know the surgeon a bit, and make sure he or she is the right person for the job.
