Having a facelift, liposuctiontummy tuckbreast augmentation, or any other cosmetic surgery is a serious investment in altering your appearance.

For most people, it’s a personal experience and they want to connect with a surgeon that they can trust.

Today, we’re going to look at these factors when choosing a Utah plastic surgeon:

Want to maximize your chance at success? If so, follow these tips for picking the best plastic surgeon in Utah.

What are your plastic surgery goals?

Before deciding on a plastic surgeon for your procedure, take some time to define what your goals are and be as specific as you can with them.

Having realistic expectations from the start will maximize your chance at a successful procedure.

To ensure the best result from surgery, pick a doctor who understands your objectives. Doing research is just as important — look up reviews and ask your potential surgeon questions until you are confident that they have expertise in meeting your needs.

What is the surgeon’s experience with your procedure?

When it comes to your body and health, you should never take chances. That is why finding a surgeon who has ample experience in the procedure you are interested in is of the utmost importance.

Make sure to ask potential surgeons about their credentials, training and skill level performing that particular procedure and ensure they have a proven track record with satisfied patients who had successful results.

Also ensure they regularly engage in continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest options and innovations.

Is your surgeon board-certified?

When choosing a surgeon, you should always look for one who is a member of the ASPS, American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The ASPS has rigorous standards that include board certification, a set number of years of surgical experience, and a basic residency requirement.

Many surgeons claim to be board-certified. Make sure they’re certified by the ASPS!

They also encourage members to seek continuing education opportunities on a regular basis.

Where is your surgeon located?

You should also consider location when choosing a plastic surgeon.

Many procedures require multiple consultations and follow-up appointments. Even after the procedure itself you may need to come back for two or three follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and recovery.

Trying to find a surgeon who is within a reasonable traveling distance will help you maintain a comfort level to maximize recovery time and limit overall cost.

Another factor to consider is whether or not your surgeon has their own surgery center. Most surgeons don’t, so you’ll need to visit them at multiple locations — such as local hospitals — to conduct your procedure.

Luckily, Dr. Jones does. That means all of your appointments will take place in one easy location.

Does your surgeon have a track record of success?

When making the important decision to select a plastic surgeon, you want to find someone you can trust and whose results speak for themselves.

The best surgeons blend a history of great results with a dedication to modern techniques.

An ideal way to get an understanding of their level of expertise is to ask to see before-and-after photos from the surgeon’s previous patients.

Sifting through these images will allow you to visualize what the outcomes of your procedure could be and allow you to determine if it’s worth the investment.

How do you feel during your consultation?

Before making a final decision on the right plastic surgeon for you, it is important to schedule a consultation.

During the consultation, you can ask questions and get a better understanding of the surgeon’s credentials, experience with your particular procedure, and initial thoughts on what results can be expected from the surgery.

Trust your gut

When selecting a plastic surgeon, it is important to trust your own intuition.

After researching qualifications and taking into consideration potential surgeon’s safety measures, the emotional connection to your doctor must also be considered.

Bedside manner matters!

With a professional and compassionate bedside manner, you should feel comfortable and confident during and after your procedure when you trust that your plastic surgeon truly has your best interests in mind.
