Most patients aren’t aware that any physician licensed to practice medicine can legally perform cosmetic surgery, even if he or she doesn’t have plastic surgery training. That’s why it’s important to thoroughly research the background and experience of all the doctors you are considering to perform your procedure. Being informed will give you confidence in your choice.
Your plastic surgeon should be certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is the only plastic surgery specialty board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and it requires surgeons to meet rigorous standards to be certified. Dr. Narasimhan is certified by both the plastic surgery and otolaryngology boards
There are surgeons who refer to themselves as “board-certified cosmetic surgeons.” That is not the same as being a board-certified plastic surgeon. A cosmetic surgeon may be a dermatologist, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, or some other type of doctor. Only plastic surgeons have the specialized training gained by completing an approved plastic surgery residency program.
Completing the advanced training to become a plastic surgeon, including a residency, can take between 6 and 8 years after finishing medical school. Although experience alone doesn’t make someone the best choice, it’s important to know that a surgeon has performed the procedure you want many times during his or her career.
One of the best ways to evaluate plastic surgeons is to see for yourself what kind of work they have produced. Most plastic surgeons have before-and-after photo galleries of real patients on their websites. It’s also a good idea to ask to see additional examples during your consultation. If a surgeon doesn’t have photos for you to review, that’s a red flag. When viewing photos, it’s a good idea to find patients similar to you, whether you’re considering breast enhancement, body contouring, or facial sculpting surgery.
Many qualified surgeons are pleased to connect you with their past patients if you’d like to learn more about the process of planning and undergoing surgery. This is a good sign that the surgeon has consistently worked well with patients who have gotten beautiful results that they’re proud to talk about. Some patients even agree to share their testimonials on a surgeon’s website.
Even the most accomplished plastic surgeon may not be the right doctor for you. Plastic surgery is a highly personal choice, and it’s imperative to form a trusting doctor-patient bond from the outset. Honestly communicating your cosmetic goals to the surgeon is important in getting the outcome you want. Some people call it chemistry; others may use the word rapport. Trust your instincts when choosing a plastic surgeon.
