How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon

When considering plastic surgery, it is important that you choose a surgeon with the right credentials and experience. During your search for the right surgeon, you should take several factors into account, including:

• Experience – Your health should always be a top priority when you are choosing a surgeon, and a doctor with ample experience will be better able to handle any complications that may arise during and prior to plastic surgery. Furthermore, a surgeon with many years of experience will naturally have had more time to perfect his or her technique, making it possible for you to receive the best possible outcome.
• Board Certification – It is highly recommended that you find a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This certification ensures that, in addition to general surgery instruction, your surgeon has had training in the area of aesthetic plastic surgery. This certification requires each candidate to earn his or her degree from a reputable medical school and complete at least 5 years of surgical residency.
• Documentation – Your surgeon should be able to provide you with several before-and-after photographs of his or her previous work in plastic surgery. For evidence of Dr. John LeRoy’s exceptional work, please see our facelift before-and-after photos, breast augmentation before-and-after photos, tummy tuck before-and-after photos, and liposuction before-and-after photos.
• Your Comfort Level – Of utmost importance is your personal comfort level with your surgeon. You should be able to have an open, honest discussion with your doctor about your desires, your expectations, your medical history, and any other factors that will affect your surgery. A comfortable relationship with your plastic surgeon is essential to a successful outcome.
