Choosing the Best Facial Plastic Surgeon in New England
You have made the decision to look better. Now you just have to find the right surgeon who can provide you with the amazing results you are looking for. As a consumer, the information you find on the internet can be confusing and overwhelming. How do you know which surgeon to choose? We have pulled together some important information to ensure that you find the best surgeon to perform your procedure and that you are ultimately happy with your results. If you’re thinking about enhancing your facial features or saying goodbye to wrinkles, jowls, or other flaws—choosing a surgeon who knows exactly what he or she is doing is an absolute must. As cosmetic treatments are increasingly popular across the country, more and more physicians are performing these treatments. This makes choosing a surgeon even more challenging. Where do you start? First, you want to begin with the physician’s credentials.
Skill and Experience
A surgeon’s training and background should always be your first point of review. Many reputable online resources allow you to compare physicians who specialize in the procedures you are considering. Surgeons who have extensive experience and a proven track record often charge more than those newer to the specialty. Although lower prices can be appealing, unusually discounted surgical or non-surgical treatments should raise concern. Quality, safety, and experience should guide your decision.
General Approach to Facial Surgery
(Natural looking vs. “Obviously done”)
Most individuals seeking cosmetic enhancements want results that look seamless, refreshed, and distinctly natural. You should still look like yourself, only more vibrant. This applies to all procedures, from surgery to BOTOX to laser treatments. Your consultation is the ideal time to review patient photos to gauge the surgeon’s aesthetic style and what you can anticipate from your own treatment.
Training and Education
While many healthcare professionals perform cosmetic procedures today, their backgrounds vary widely. Surgeons certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are specifically trained in facial and neck aesthetics, with rigorous education in both cosmetic and reconstructive techniques. Board certification signals advanced expertise and is an important indicator of a surgeon’s qualifications.
Connecting with Your Needs
A high-quality plastic surgeon should take the time to understand your goals and explain your options clearly. If a consultation feels rushed or your questions are dismissed, consider it a sign to look elsewhere. The right surgeon will discuss benefits, limitations, and risks, and ensure you feel confident before moving forward. Open communication is essential in creating a treatment plan that supports your vision.
Quality Preoperative and Postoperative Care
The setting in which your procedure takes place matters greatly for your safety. Accredited surgical facilities follow strict protocols for staffing, equipment, and sterility. Accrediting bodies such as The Joint Commission, AAAASF, and AAAHC ensure that operating environments meet the highest standards. A dedicated and knowledgeable team will also guide you through preparation and recovery so you know what to expect at each stage.
