What to Look for in a Plastic Surgeon

What to Look for in a Plastic Surgeon

Many factors combine to make an excellent plastic surgeon. Considering all these factors will help you see the best results from your surgery. 

Qualifications

Make sure your plastic surgeon is board-certified. This certification is a sign that this surgeon is a plastic surgery specialist and has passed rigorous standards. You should be able to easily find out about your surgeon’s education, the groups they belong to, and other information. 

Dr. Holley is board-certified and extensively trained in plastic, reconstructive, and hand surgery. Your plastic surgeon’s qualifications should instill confidence, but you have several other important factors to consider. 

Experience

You should ask your plastic surgeon how long they have been practicing. More importantly, ask how much experience they have performing the procedure you want to have. Many plastic surgeons have areas of focus where they are particularly experienced. Find a surgeon who regularly performs the surgery and consistently achieves excellent results. Also, look for testimonials from those who have had the procedure performed by this surgeon. 

Aesthetics

Your plastic surgeon’s aesthetics should align with your own. Before and after pictures and testimonials can help you see the type of results a surgeon takes the most pride in. Look for results that match your goals. For example, if you want natural-looking results, look for a plastic surgeon who focuses on these goals. 

Facility and Staff

Your plastic surgeon’s team plays a vital role in the success and safety of your procedure. Ask questions about the surgical facility, the anesthesiologist, and the surgical team that will assist with your procedure.
