The Hardest Cosmetic Surgery Choice

By James Miller

The most serious decision you may have to make after you've decided to have plastic surgery is who your doctor may be. You'll probably want to check that your cosmetic surgeon belongs to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. You definitely will want to make sure each cosmetic surgeon you are considering is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You will want to initially do some research online, looking up each cosmetic surgeon and checking out his or her website. You may need to covertly find out more about your cosmetic surgeon by thinking about creative ways to learn more about him or her.

After this first phase of research you'll have a list of four or five plastic surgeons who can perform the procedures you want. Now you should set up an initial appointment at each office. In busy doctor's offices it can take a few weeks to actually get an initial appointment, but don't be discouraged. Most doctors do not charge for this visit.

Your plastic surgeon will be responsible for modifying your body permanently, so having a healthy relationship built on clear understanding is important. At each meeting with your prospective cosmetic surgeon ask plenty of questions and take notes not only on what is said but also on how he or she relates to you. Remember: your relationship with your cosmetic surgeon will be more than just the normal relationship between a doctor and a patient.

After office visits you should now have your pick between one or two cosmetic surgeons. Now you can consider what hospital your surgeon will use, payment options and ultimately which plastic surgeon you felt most comfortable with.

If you still can't decide between one or two cosmetic surgeons you will probably want to begin listing the good and bad of each and talking them out with friends that you trust. Once you've chosen your surgeon and have scheduled the procedure you can sit back and relax, knowing that you've made the right choice by choosing the best cosmetic surgeon that fits your needs and wants!
