The Best Ways To Find A Good Cosmetic Surgeon

Deciding to go for cosmetic surgery is an important but stressful move and finding a good cosmetic surgeon who can instill confidence in the patient is a crucial step. When a beauty specialist has the skills, qualifications and the ability to meet the patients expectations, the cost of the treatment is often not the most important consideration.

It is important to note that plastic and reconstructive surgery is considered to be a medical requirement to repair damage from an accident or a birth defect and can usually be carried out on the NHS. Whereas plastic surgery is about changing the appearance and the patient has to pay the cost of any operation or treatment that is carried out in private facilities.

Those looking for a reputable and credible plastic surgery specialist can check with the General Medical Council (GMC) register of plastic surgeons. Those on the register have had a minimum of six years working in plastics after completing the general surgery qualifications. Any surgeons not on the register may not have the necessary experience to carry out the procedure.

A secondary source that patients can use to verify a plastic surgeons qualification and experience, is the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) register. Members from both organizations are obliged to comply with their codes of conduct if they wish to remain members.

Patients will normally find that their general physician is a reliable source of information on plastic surgery and how to find a beauty specialist. They may be able to provide a referral to a suitable doctor on behalf of their patient.

The initial consultation meeting with a good cosmetic surgeon is essential. The patient should use the opportunity to ask questions or share their concerns. The surgeon should take the opportunity to examine the patient, explain what needs to happen and discuss follow up requirements, etc.
