What Qualifies A Practitioner To Do Aesthetic Surgery?

By Mavic Guillermo


This is hard truth: Aesthetic surgery comes with a huge amount of hazard. Unalterable, permanent damage can result if even the slightest error occurs during an invasive process or operation. There are several things that you need to take into consideration when you are choosing your aesthetic surgery practitioner, and you must bear these in mind at all times. The quality of their medical training and their corresponding surgical experience are the main considerations to look into.

Picture this out: In an abdominalplasty (or, more colloquially, "tummy tuck") or a liposuction, major internal organs are affected. Complication risks are very high, and the recovery and healing time is usually quite long. Thus, if you have to have any of the two procedures, would you be willing to risk going under the knife and allow just any aesthetic surgeon who proclaims to know about the process to administer the procedure on you?

Just surfing through the volume of results when you key in "plastic surgery gone wrong" in major internet search engines gives you an idea of the danger that men and women face when they want aesthetic modifications done on their bodies. However, these dangers could have been avoided if these individuals followed the cardinal rule of aesthetic surgery: Only allow certified cosmetic surgeons to handle your operation.

The popularity of aesthetic surgery is on the rise, and numerous doctors and surgeons are struggling to meet the demands for this branch of medical science. Just in case you are considering undergoing aesthetic surgery yourself, you must bear in mind to choose a cosmetic surgeon who has all the appropriate certifications and who is a member of an accredited and internationally recognized board of aesthetic practitioners.

As a prospective client or patient, you have the right to get answers you present to your aesthetic surgeon.

- How many years has the doctor been doing the procedure that you are interested in?

- For the procedure that you are interested in, does the aesthetic medical practitioner have a license or certification to perform such surgical procedure?

- Can the practitioner give you the average number of similar procedures that he or she performs each week?

- Can anything in your own medical history have a negative impact on the results of the procedure?

- Can the cosmetic surgeon provide you information about how long the results of the surgery will last?

- How much do you have to pay for the surgery?

- Are there other dangers if you go through with the procedure?

The aesthetic practitioner's answers to these questions will help you evaluate if you will continue with the surgery under his or her care.
