How to Find the Best Plastic Surgeon

While anyone can sound convincing with a slick marketing pitch, patients deserve objective ways to evaluate a qualified plastic surgeon. Follow these steps and reach out to our Core Plastic Surgery team if you need help verifying information.

• Confirm board certification. Use abplasticsurgery.org to ensure the surgeon completed accredited surgical training.
• Assess experience. Review procedure volume, before-and-after results, and whether the surgeon performs the operation you want weekly or monthly.
• Look for peer recognition. Teaching roles, society leadership positions, and published research show that colleagues trust a surgeon’s expertise.
• Scrutinize reviews. Look for specific details about results and bedside manner while filtering out anonymous or vague comments.
• Evaluate the consultation. A thorough visit should include candid risk discussions, customized planning, and honest expectations.

By focusing on verifiable data instead of marketing hype, you can partner with a surgeon who prioritizes safety, transparency, and artistry.
