Having a great experience with a facial plastic surgeon requires work for both parties. If a plastic surgeon withholds important information or the patient holds back on important info on their health there could be complications with the surgery resulting in a negative experience from both parties.

Here are some things to think about when shopping around for your facial plastic surgery procedure:

Be Honest About Everything

Don’t hold back on any personal health info. If there was a certain reason why other plastic surgeons wouldn’t work with you or you have a medical condition you were embarrassed about it is important to let the doctor know any information regarding your body. The last thing you want is a surprise during your procedure that could cause a hiccup for the surgeon and their team.

Ask Questions

There is no such thing as a dumb question when it comes to pre-operation questions. Take the time to write all your cosmetic surgery questions down on paper so you have a clear understanding of how things will go about during and after your procedure.

Read Through Your Paperwork

If you decide to work with a specific plastic surgeon and you are given clear instructions on what to do and what not to do before your surgery make sure you read it thoroughly. It is important that you understand your risks if you should not follow the proper instructions prior to your surgery.

Research the Plastic Surgeon

With the internet being so resourceful these days take the time to research your plastic surgeon online prior to making a decision. Look through testimonials and photo galleries to have a complete understanding on the plastic surgeons scope of work and expertise.
