3 Tips For Finding The Right Plastic Surgeon
If you are planning elective surgery, such as a plastic surgery procedure, you must be very diligent about finding a board-certified plastic surgeon who has the knowledge, experience, and training to provide you with the safest and best results.
To get you started, here are 4 things to consider when looking for a plastic surgeon:
1. Board-Certification
The first thing you should ensure when selecting a plastic surgeon is that you are working with someone reputable. Any plastic surgeon you are considering should be a member of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgery.
This means that he/she:
- Adheres to a strict code of ethics
- Has passed comprehensive examinations
- Has completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training
- Has extensive training in all forms of cosmetic and plastic surgeries
This is the best way to ensure that you minimize your surgical risks and that you get the natural-looking, long lasting and beautiful results you are looking for.

2. Personality
A consultation is a great opportunity to ensure that the plastic surgeon you choose is a good fit. During this appointment, pay attention to the surgeon’s overall demeanor. Ask yourself:
- Does he/she answer questions in a detailed and professional manner?
- Does the surgeon take his or her time during the consultation to address your needs, or do they seem rushed?
- Are you confident in this person’s ability to operate on you?
A surgeon’s mannerisms and demeanor during the consultation is a good indicator of how he/she will act during your surgery and post-operatively.
3. Customization
Each person’s body shape, facial structure, and aesthetic needs are unique. This means that you must find a plastic surgeon who will create a customized plastic surgery plan for you and tailor the procedure to your specific anatomical and aesthetic needs.
Choose a surgeon who will:
- Carefully incorporate your personal cosmetic goals and needs into the plan
- Spend time customizing your procedure
- Encourage you to share your aesthetic desires and goals
- Pay careful attention to your concerns regarding your overall look
Remember: If your surgeon adopts a cookie-cutter approach to cosmetic surgery, your results may not turn out to be as desirable as you want.
Always Ask Detailed Questions
Plastic surgery is not a decision that should be taken lightly. To ensure you stay safe, you must ask your potential surgeon some detailed questions, including:
- How many times have you performed this procedure?
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What specific technique will be used? Why do you use this technique over any other?
- Is anyone assisting you with the procedure? If so, what training do they have?
- Who will administer and monitor the sedation?
- Realistically, what results can I expect?
- Have you had any instances of complications with this procedure? If so, what were they?
