Choosing a Breast Augmentation Surgeon

Serving Vancouver and the Portland, Oregon area

Breast augmentation is a major decision. If you have decided to undergo the procedure, you have most likely given it a lot of thought and you definitely want to choose a great breast augmentation surgeon. However, choosing a breast augmentation surgeon is difficult. It may seem that the more you look, the more the surgeons appear the same. The following are some steps to help guide you in your decision making process.

First, you should ask friends and family. Many people have undergone plastic surgery, and even more people know someone who has undergone plastic surgery. Ask people you know if they have had any experience with a plastic surgeon or if they know of someone who has. Ask them about their experience and how they chose the breast surgeon. Even if your friend had a cosmetic procedure other than breast augmentation, the surgeon they visited may know of a breast augmentation surgeon in the area.

You can also ask someone in the medical profession. This includes doctors, nurses, and other staff members. They may know of a popular surgeon or, more importantly, surgeons to avoid.

Remember to look for a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, as well as a member of the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons. These organizations screen applicants very closely. Choosing a surgeon that has already been approved can make your hunt a lot easier.

After you have constructed a list of breast augmentation surgeons you would like to meet with, schedule an appointment to visit their office. This is an excellent opportunity to meet the breast surgeon, the staff, view the facility, and learn more about the breast augmentation procedure. During your consultation, you should have some questions for the surgeon. Pay attention to the way he answers your questions, see if you get clear, thorough answers or just a general response.

Ask what the doctor thinks. Are there other treatment options? Will you achieve the look you desire? What are the risks? Is it worth it?

Ask the breast surgeon how many breast augmentation procedures he has performed. Dr. Workman has worked on thousands of women over the past few decades. Ask to see before and after photos of other patients. Ask for recommendations.
