Author: losangelescosmeticsurgeon | Posted: 24.02.2012

One of the most important factors to ensuring that you are happy with your cosmetic surgery procedure is not only making sure that you are confident in the procedure that you want to undergo, but also confident in the doctor you choose. There are some simple questions that you need to ask any prospective cosmetic surgeon Los Angeles patients claim to gain the confidence that you need. First and foremost consult with your primary physician to ensure that you are a good candidate for cosmetic surgery. This will be able to start you off on the right path to choosing your doctor.

Make sure that you prepare all the questions that you want to ask before meeting prospective doctors at your Los Angeles cosmetic surgery consultation. You have the right to ask questions about your procedure and any competent doctor will be able to objectively answer those questions with ease. It is important to only go off of the knowledgeable answers that they give you and not the way their compliments make you feel. You want to have a comfortable feeling about your doctor, so do not use subjective information in your choosing.

If you were to choose three questions to ask any potential cosmetic surgeon, past patients of plastic surgery say to ask these:

Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon?

How often do you perform the procedure that I want?

Do you have hospital privileges?

The first question is crucial because you want to make sure that the surgeon you are having complete your procedure specializes in plastic surgery. Most licensed doctors can perform any procedure; ensure that your surgeon has had at least 5 years experience in plastic surgery. The second question is crucial because the more times they have performed the procedure, the better they have refined their skill over time. If you are going in to have a nose job, and the doctor you are speaking with has only done a total of 15 nose jobs, then you know this would not be your best choice. Lastly, asking if your surgeon has hospital privileges can allow you to trust your doctor. Hospitals do background checks on all their employees, and if the surgeon is not an affiliate of some hospital red flags should pop up.

If you do your research and ask questions, finding the right surgeon for your cosmetic surgery can be easy. A great surgeon means great results. Make the choice that will ensure your happiness for your procedure.
