How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon?

Choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions you will make in your plastic surgery journey. Your surgeon is the person you must trust to understand your goals and bring that vision to life, all while keeping you safe and healthy.

At Stephanie Farber Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephanie Farber explains why choosing the right surgeon is important and how that may impact your results. Read on to learn Dr. Farber’s recommendations.

Foster a Great Relationship

The most important factor in choosing the right surgeon is chemistry. A patient-plastic surgeon relationship can last a lifetime! For this reason, it is critically important that you feel comfortable with and confident in your surgeon.

You should be able to be honest with your surgeon about your deepest insecurities and fears, which takes a profound degree of trust. Meeting with your surgeon for your initial consultation should give you a good idea of whether you have the foundation to build this relationship based on how he or she answers your questions, listens to you, and explains the details of the surgery and recovery.

I am always happy to meet with my patients multiple times before their surgery if that helps them to feel good about their choice of surgeon.

Focus on Qualifications

Another critical factor in choosing the right surgeon is their qualifications. You should always research your plastic surgeon’s credentials and make sure that they are board-certified, specifically by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The ABPS has very rigorous standards for safety, ethics, and skill in order to become board-certified. You can feel confident in a surgeon who has achieved this level of certification and knows that they are qualified to deliver you the best care. Beware of boards other than the ABPS, as many of these have much less stringent standards for certification and can be used by doctors who are not properly trained to try and perform plastic surgery operations.

Dr. Farber’s Final Thoughts

Overall, your choice of surgeon is a very personal and important one. And, hopefully, one that will help you achieve all of your plastic surgery goals and have an exceptional experience while doing it!
