First, the consumer must realize that cosmetic plastic surgery procedures are in fact medical "surgeries" that should be performed by qualified, certified, and experienced cosmetic plastic surgeons.
However, even in the hands of the very best cosmetic plastic surgeon, risks are involved and complications, mistakes and errors can occur. So, caveat emptor!
With millions of Americans joining the ranks of body-conscious cosmetic plastic surgery recipients, even in the District of Columbia/Maryland metropolitan area, I have prepared a short mantra of things to do and be aware of when selecting a cosmetic plastic surgeon:
"CAVEAT EMPTOR" --- BUYER BEWARE
- Make sure surgeon is Board Certified by American Board of Plastic Surgery.
- Consult with at least 2 or 3 different certified plastic surgeons
- Research your surgeon.
- Ask about your plastic surgeon on the with knowledgeable sources.
- Search your plastic surgeon's last name on the in multiple forums.
- Google your plastic surgeon's name.
- View your surgeon's before/after photos, particularly befores similar to your own.
- Bring photos of what you'd like to look like.
- Make sure the surgery center is accredited.
- Insure that your surgeon agrees to take before and after photos of you and your surgery.
