What Qualifies A Practitioner To Offer Aesthetic Surgery?

By Lauren Davis


Here is hard fact: There is a great amount of danger when it comes to aesthetic surgery. Irreversible, permanent damage can result if even the minutest slip happens during an invasive procedure or operation. There are several things that you need to consider when you are deciding on your aesthetic surgery practitioner, and you must bear these in mind at all times. The primary factors are related surgical experience and quality medical training.

Picture this out: Major internal organs are involved in abdominalplasty (or, more informally, "tummy tuck") or in a liposuction. The recovery and healing duration is quite long, and the risk of complication is very great. If you are the one undergoing the liposuction or tummy tuck, would you knowingly risk yourself in the hands of an unqualified aesthetic surgeon?

When you trawl the Internet for pictures or stories about aesthetic surgeries that went horribly wrong, you get the picture that a lot of people undeservedly suffered in the hands of unqualified plastic surgeons who handled the aesthetic surgeries of their faces or bodies. Nonetheless, these risks could have been avoided if these men and women followed the cardinal rule of aesthetic surgery: Permit only certified practitioners to handle your case.

Doctors and cosmetic surgeons are scrambling to meet the high demands for aesthetic surgery and services, and its popularity will most likely rise in the following years. In case you are considering undergoing aesthetic surgery yourself, you must remember to pick out a cosmetic surgeon who has all the appropriate certifications and who is a member of an accredited and internationally acknowledged board of aesthetic practitioners.

You, as a client/patient of an aesthetic clinic, have the right to get answers to the following questions that you will present to the aesthetic practitioner.

- For how many years has the cosmetic surgeon been doing the procedure that you wish to avail of?

- Does the doctor have a license or certification that qualifies him or her to administer the procedure you are interested in?

- Can the cosmetic surgeon give you the average number of similar procedures that he or she does each week?

- Can anything in your own medical history affect the results of the procedure?

- Can the aesthetic practitioner give you information about how long the results of the procedure will last?

- How much will the cosmetic surgery cost?

- What will be the danger if you undergo the procedure?

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