When considering breast implant cosmetic surgery, the most important part is to choose the breast surgeon after careful evaluation. With a properly trained and experienced surgeon, the patient can be assured of receiving top quality care and results that meet or exceed her expectations.

A plastic surgeon with impeccable credentials and training will be able to minimize the risk of complications and produce results that are not only aesthetically superior but also healthy, sustainable in the long run, and natural looking. Experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides breast implant surgery to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Meet the Surgeon

In the online era, it has become rather easy to identify multiple surgeons with strong qualifications and thorough credentials in plastic surgery procedures such as breast implants. In such situations, the patient should decide to have an initial appointment with one or more surgeons and choose the one with whom she feels more comfortable.

While an objective assessment of their qualifications, training, and experience is important, the patient should ultimately trust her instinct and determine at which surgical practice she feels more confident, and feels encouraged to share her innermost concerns and doubts.

Qualifications and Training

The cosmetic surgeon should have obtained a medical degree from a recognized medical school in the US, completed their residency, and received additional specialized training in plastic surgery. Surgeons who are experienced and have performed several breast surgery procedures in the past will be in a better position to handle unexpected situations, if they arise during the procedure.

Training and experience enable a surgeon to customize the breast implant procedure, help the patient make the right choice of implant type and size, and perform the procedure with discreetly placed, smaller incisions. Their goal is to minimize risk, shorten the recovery period and produce more targeted and effective outcomes. Leading plastic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from in and around Las Vegas, NV.

Plastic Surgery Privileges

The breast implant surgeon should ideally have hospital privileges at one or more local hospitals. Having hospital privileges implies that the surgeon is allowed to operate out of a state licensed, accredited or Medicare-certified hospital or surgical center. A surgeon will receive these privileges only after they have been approved by a committee, which evaluates their eligibility on several counts, including education, training, and aptitude.

Therefore, when a patient chooses a surgeon who has hospital privileges, she will not have access to advanced surgical facilities with high standards of care, but also she will be more confident about the recognition and authority of the plastic surgeon.

Patient Satisfaction Levels

One of the clearest indicators while choosing a breast implant surgeon could be how far the surgeon’s existing or past patients feel satisfied with their results. If the surgeon has a highly successful track record of breast implant procedures with high patient satisfaction rates, it will give confidence to a new patient to choose that surgeon. Patient testimonials, both written and video recorded, can serve as a useful tool to assess the patient satisfaction levels of a surgeon.

Going ahead with a cosmetic surgery procedure is an important, life-altering decision. The single most important factor that will determine the safety and success of the procedure will be the skill and expertise of the operating surgeon. Therefore, choosing the right surgeon becomes crucial to achieving safe, predictable, sustainable, and aesthetically desirable results.

New patients can find it confusing to choose the best plastic surgeon for their needs. To begin with, they should perform an online search to look for locally practicing surgeons in their area, and review their website, professional bio, reviews, and ratings, and the kind of procedures they perform. They patient may also seek advice from friends or family members who have undergone an aesthetic surgery in the past.

Initial Appointment

An objective cost and benefit analysis should be conducted on the basis of all the information available about a few marvelous surgeons in the local area. However, merely reviewing online information or going by word of mouth may not be enough to take a decision. The patient should seek appointment for an initial consultation, and ask various questions to clarify their concerns and doubts.

A personal interaction with the surgeon and their staff, and an initial visit to the surgeon’s office will determine how comfortable and how confident the patient feels about the overall experience.

Selecting the Right Surgeon

In any plastic surgery procedure, the pre-requisite is that the operating surgeon should have the necessary qualifications and licensing to perform the particular procedure. They should be properly trained and have a fair amount of experience in performing that specific procedure in the past. The surgeon should have access to the latest surgical facilities and technology in order to provide the best possible treatment options.

Highly trained and experienced cosmetic surgeons are adept at handling unexpected situations, complications and emergencies during the surgical procedure. Adequate time spent for training allows the surgeon to perfect their technique to achieve a high success rate in various surgical procedures. The surgeon should be able to provide before and after photos of the specific procedure that a patient seeks.

The surgeon should have affiliations with professional societies or organizations related to the field of cosmetic surgery. This allows them to keep updated with the latest developments and advancements in the field, and incorporate them into their practice. The surgeon should have staff privileges to perform the required surgical procedure at an accredited surgical center or hospital.

Personal Rapport

Plastic surgery treatment is a prolonged and highly personalized experience. No two patients are alike and no two surgeons are alike. One of the most important factors while selecting a cosmetic surgeon is what is the patient’s personal comfort level with the surgeon.

If the patient feels encouraged by the surgeon’s personal demeanor, concern about the patient’s unique needs, and authoritative knowledge in answering their doubts and questions, it will be easier to make a well-informed final decision.
