GLENDALE, CA, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) You have several choices when looking for a tummy tuck surgeon. The best place to start is with an internet search. This will provide you with the names of tummy tuck surgeons in your area. It will also provide you with links to their websites where you can further investigate their practice.
What to Look For
The first thing to look for on your prospective tummy tuck surgeon's website is their tummy tuck information page. This page should contain general information about the procedure. It should also contain information on what you can expect before, during, and after your tummy tuck.
Look for a surgeon who offers complete information, as well as a questions about tummy tuck page. FAQ pages can be very helpful when you are trying to determine questions to ask your potential surgeon.
After viewing the tummy tuck page, take a look at the surgeon's bio page. This page will contain information on your prospective surgeon's credentials, experience, and professional affiliations.
Look for someone who belongs to certain organizations or has an affiliation with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Look also to see the plastic surgeon's hospital privileges. A tummy tuck is a complex procedure and should only be performed in an accredited surgical facility.
You may also want to look at the "about us" page. This page will provide information about the practice, staff, and what you can expect during your time as a patient.
Initial Consultation
After viewing your potential cosmetic surgeon's website, call to make an appointment for an initial consultation. A website can provide you with information, but it cannot replace a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon. During this consultation you can ask all of your questions and gauge your level of comfort with your potential tummy tuck surgeon. You can also get a better feel for his staff and the treatment you can expect as a patient.
A consultation is not a commitment. If you are uncomfortable or feel at all uneasy, look for another tummy tuck surgeon. This is a big decision and should be approached with great care. You deserve to feel confident and safe in your decision. Taking time to interview several surgeons can help you find the one that will provide you with the aesthetic results you desire.
