Dreaming of bigger breasts? It all begins with a competent doctor. Before you rush to the operating room, here’s what you should learn:
Credentials – Check your surgeon’s credentials, including his or her medical license and organizational certificates. Inquire about board certification and be certain your doctor is a fellow of an accredited association.
Professional Experience – Don’t be shy to ask revealing questions about the surgeon’s educational background. Know his or her professional background and experience with breast augmentation. How many operations has that person made? How often does that person do them? The more a surgeon knows about breast augmentation, the better the chances that your operation will run smoothly.
Client Photos – Look for before and after pictures of new patients. While every patient’s case is different, before and after pics can show you the surgeon’s abilities.
Referrals – A referral is another way to locate a qualified cosmetic surgeon. You can ask friends or co-workers about their experiences. One thing to remember — although most cosmetic surgeons handle many different types of surgeries, they are not all experts in breast augmentation. It is best to narrow your choices to doctors who specialize in that field.
Surgery Location – Take pains to determine where the surgeon will perform breast augmentation. Will it be made at a local hospital? Is the hospital or surgical center accredited?
The Surgeon – If everything about the surgeon seems okay but you’re not at ease, take note of your instinct. Breast augmentation is a delicate operation and you should feel at home with your doctor. In summary, consider these things carefully before making a decision. Have time to go and see as many surgeons as necessary to select the right one for you.
