and we recommend
that you devote a lot of time and effort into researching potential
doctors.Your goal is to gather as much information as possible
on plastic surgeons in your area in order to begin the process
of selection.
First, you
should make a realistic list of potential plastic surgeons.
We recommend using friends and family members who have been
under the care of a plastic surgeon, even if they have not had
cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon who achieves outstanding
results in reconstructive procedures can be expected to deliver
the same skill and expertise to cosmetic surgery. Recommendations
from health care workers, such as operating room nurses, hospital
referral lines, medical directories, and even the phone book
can also be helpful. Remember that you are only making a list
and your final choice will be based on your own experience with
the doctor and his staff.
The next
step is to investigate each physician's credentials. We would
recommend that you limit your list to doctors who are certified
by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is a certifying
board under the auspices of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Do a thorough background check on their medical school and residency
training. You can obtain this information by contacting your
local hospital, the Indiana Medical Society, or the American
Board of Plastic Surgeons at www.plasticsurgery.org/psf.
After narrowing
your list by checking credentials, you can begin to examine
your potential surgeons on a more personal level. Call several
cosmetic surgery practices and ask to speak with the Patient
Coordinator. An in-depth conversation with the Patient Coordinator
will often give you an accurate first impression about how you
will be treated in the practice. If your first impression is
favorable, schedule a consultation. The ideal plastic surgeon
will make you feel comfortable, take the time to listen to your
concerns, answer all of your questions honestly and accurately,
and provide you with objective recommendations. Bring a list
of questions and ask as many as you like. Ask to see "before
and after" photos of other cosmetic surgery patients and ask
to speak with former patients to listen to their experiences.
Once you have completed all of these steps, chances are that
you will be satisfied with your choice.
Many patients
find it helpful to have consultations with more than one plastic
surgeon. This approach allows you to compare the different personalities
of doctors and their staff, listen to their recommendations,
and discover how attentive they will be to your needs.

time you should be ready to choose the ideal plastic surgeon
for you. Once you have placed Renaissance Plastic Surgery
