The Importance of Choosing a Trained, Certified Plastic Surgeon
The influence of both television and social media has led many people to view plastic surgery as being a simple, casual process. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Plastic surgery is one of the most highly specialized areas of medicine, owing to the delicate and complex nature of most plastic surgery procedures. Plastic surgeons must complete a long and rigorous program of education and training in general surgery, as well as additional specialized training in plastic surgery.
After completing medical school, they spend six years in residency, studying and actively participating in extensive training with experts in the field of plastic surgery. Their intense training includes several sub-specialties, such as dermatology, hand surgery, ear, nose, and throat surgery, etc. This knowledge allows them to perform surgery that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but functionally sound as well.
Unfortunately, the surge in popularity plastic surgery has experienced over the last decade has led to a number of under-certified individuals masquerading as plastic surgeons. Patients need to research the qualifications and experience of the providers they are considering to perform plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.
There are some providers offering plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures that are board certified in other specialties then shifted their practice to aesthetics without the extensive training required of a board certified plastic surgeon. This is especially common among aesthetic centers offering non-surgical cosmetic services, such as injectables and laser treatments. It is also important to know the qualifications and experience of providers offering non-surgical cosmetic treatments, such as injectables and laser treatments.
This current trend poses significant risks to the unknowing patients that are placing their trust in unqualified hands. Performing plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments without the required qualifications and training increases the risk of serious complications. Even injectable treatments, which are extremely safe in trained hands, carry a number of dangers if they’re not administered properly. Failing to do your homework when selecting a plastic surgeon can result in scarring, disfigurement, and poor results.
