Definitely, for health and beauty matters, you shouldn´t just trust anyone, especially if it is about plastic surgery, in which both are important. On the search for a surgeon you should consider many aspects, and if you are interested in an aesthetic or reconstructive procedure, today we will tell you what are the considerations you should consider. Let’s get started!
Recommendations
Today with social media and internet ads, it’s way too common to come across deals that may be too tempting to pass up. However, the price should not be the most important factor, not only because of the phrase that says that “cheap is expensive”, but because you could be the victim of a scam, or fall into the hands of people who did not really study, do not have knowledge nor do they use quality materials that are suitable for your body.
If an advertisement catches your attention, check that it really is a professional, that it has recommendations from real people and that there are no negative comments about the doctor or the clinic where he works.
Certifications
In order for a doctor to be able to perform surgeries, they need to be qualified first as a general practitioner, and then specialize in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, even some surgeons also specialize in other surgeries such as maxillofacial, implantology, otolaryngology, oculoplastic, among others.
Before scheduling your appointment with the surgeon of your choice, make sure that they have a professional license and that they are visible on their website, social networks or ads in medical directories.
Member of Associations
In addition to checking that the surgeon has a professional license, you can verify that he is a member of Associations such as the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER. An organization that requires surgeons in this country to be affiliated. The Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery publishes and updates its information in a directory to help people interested in surgery to find the information of the specialists when they need it.
In addition, belonging to these associations helps surgeons to stay up to date with new treatments, since it brings together specialists, certifies them and keeps them under surveillance, since they must be certified every five years so that they remain current at an academic and technological level.
Some surgeons participate in congresses, scientific publications and research, so you can be sure that they are true professionals in their area.
Empathy and good treatment
It is very important that you create a close and friendly relationship with your surgeon, since he is a professional who must speak to you truthfully so that you have realistic expectations about the procedure you want him to perform, the aftercare, and whether you are suitable for this or another procedure.
If you do not feel comfortable, your doubts are not resolved, or the surgeon does not want to give you information about the products to use (for example, the brand and content of breast implants), it is best to seek another professional.
Experience
Most surgeons have a “catalogue” of before and after photos of their patients, and they will show you these both to demonstrate their experience and the results they have achieved with other patients, and so that you have realistic expectations about the procedure you are interested.
Facilities
Many plastic surgeons have their office in a private building, but operate in another or other places, so it is important that you know the clinic where your surgery is going to take place to ensure that it has all the permits from the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris), as well as with adequate facilities so that they can act in the event of an emergency.
Costs
Although in previous paragraphs we told you not to let the price be the determining factor for your decision, it is a fact that you must assess the cost to know if you can afford the surgery. At this point, you can check if the surgery is covered by your insurance, for example as reconstructive or repair procedures, and some insurances even offer discounts so that you can access surgery for cosmetic purposes.
What we do recommend is that you avoid going with other cheaper options but that do not have certification, or that are not qualified for plastic surgeries since you would be putting your health and appearance at risk.
