Tips for Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Lee Colony  In: Plastic Surgery

The decision to undergo plastic surgery in Lansing is a big one, which means that patients should do their homework beforehand to ensure that their experience is a positive one. The most important decision that a patient will have to make regarding their procedure is which plastic surgeon is right for them. When making this critical decision, be sure to find a surgeon with the following characteristics.

Expertise

Be sure to find a surgeon that is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Because plastic surgery is a very complex specialty, the necessary years of education and training are very important. Surgeons who are board certified in plastic surgery, such as Dr. Colony, are also held to high safety standards, so you can be sure you are in good hands.

Experience

When choosing a surgeon, be sure to ask about their experience performing the procedure you would like to have done. Some plastic surgeons specialize in certain procedures, so it is important to make sure they have considerable experience performing your procedure. A surgeon who has performed a number of procedures over a number of years will most likely have the skills that you need to receive the results you desire.

Results

When choosing a plastic surgeon, the best way to gauge what their results will be is through before and after photos. During your consultation, ask the surgeon to view these photos, including examples of “after” photos taken a year or most post-surgery. This will give you a better idea of what to expect from the surgeon’s work.
