Going to your first consultation with your prospective plastic surgeon without a list of questions is like going to battle unarmed.
But worry not, because we’re arming you with the following questions that you should ask your plastic surgeon to make sure that he’s the right one for you:
1. Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon?
Look for a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or ABPS. This is the only board authorized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to offer certification to plastic surgeons.
2. How often do you perform [the procedure]?
Find a surgeon who specializes in the procedure you are thinking of getting.
The more times a surgeon performs a procedure, the more refined their skills become.
3. Do you consider me a good candidate for [the procedure]?
To answer this question, your surgeon will review:
- Your medical and overall health history;
- Your goals and expectations for plastic surgery
- Other factors that may affect you in your recovery.
4. Do you think that [the procedure] I am considering will get me the results I want?
A good surgeon may recommend a different procedure than the one you have in mind if they feel it would better lead to the results you want.
For example, if you’re interested in having liposuction to flatten your lower abdomen, your surgeon may recommend a tummy tuck instead to prevent skin puckering, loose skin, and other associated issues that could be prevented.
5. May I see before-and-after pictures of your patients who have had [the procedure]?
Seeing a plastic surgeon’s before-and-after pictures can help you get an idea of the results you can expect from your surgery.
6. How long will the recovery take and when can I get back to work or do regular activities?
Your surgeon will let you know how soon after surgery you will be able to resume your normal activities. This allows you to arrange your schedule to give yourself the time you need to fully recover.
7. What are the risks and possible complications of [the procedure]?
Your surgeon should clearly explain the risks and possible complications of surgery so you can make an informed decision.
8. Will insurance cover my surgery?
Normally insurance does not cover cosmetic plastic surgery as it is considered cosmetic if it is not medically necessary and performed solely to improve your appearance.
But each insurance company is different. Your surgeon and his staff can give you an idea of what might or might not be covered and provide necessary documentation.
9. Where do you perform [the procedure]?
This may be in a hospital or at an outpatient clinic. Be sure to ask for details and find out if the facility is accredited.
10. What if I am not satisfied with the results?
Before choosing a plastic surgeon, you need to know what he or she is willing to do if the surgical outcome is less than you reasonably expected.
If a plastic surgeon does not have a post-operative plan for surgical outcomes that do not meet reasonable expectations, find another surgeon.
