Finding Plastic Surgeons for Augmentation Procedures

Once you make the decision to go in for augmentation, you need to pick a surgeon. While you have already made the decision to augment, you should always defer to the opinions of a medical professional. While picking a plastic surgeon for your procedure, you should ask them questions related to the procedure if for no other purpose than to educate yourself regarding what is involved in the medical procedure and the potential downsides. Here are a few questions you should ask perspective surgeons to both understand their scope of knowledge, inform yourself and select the best surgeon for you:

1. If I get implants, what are the risks and potential complications?

2. How long will the implants last?

3. If I decide to remove the implants later, what will I look like?

4. What shape of implant should I get and why?

5. What incision technique will be used, will there be scars and where?

6. Will I be able to breast feed?

7. As time passes, will my implants stay the same or change in appearance?

8. What if I don’t like how they look at when the procedure is over?

9. Are there alternatives to getting implants?

10. Do you have before and after pictures of patients with similar issues?

11. What are the reasonable results I can expect?

12. Can I speak with former patients?

As to the surgeons, you should ask them the following:

2. How many years have you been practicing and doing augmentation procedures?

3. Are you board certified?
