There are many considerations to keep in mind when hiring a cosmetic doctor. There are dangers involved in any surgery and cosmetic surgery shouldn't be taken lightly. You will want to choose a cosmetic doctor as carefully as you would choose any other doctor. As a candidate for cosmetic surgery you should take a good look at the following tips:
- When choosing a surgeon, find one that's associated with the Royal College of Surgeons. You will want to find a cosmetic surgeon who demonstrates the same standards of practice that you would expect from any excellent surgeon or doctor. The hospital you choose will follow these kinds of standards if it has strong NHS consultants.
- Cosmetic surgery decisions need to be made by the patient and no one else. Don't let yourself be talked into any procedures, by the surgeon or anyone else, that make you uncomfortable or you feel are not needed. If you need more time to think about something then take it. No reputable surgeon will put pressure on you.
- Don't make upfront payments after before having a full and thorough consultation. You don't want to feel obligated to do anything because you have already committed your money.
- Before you schedule surgery, consider where the surgeon's office is. Is it convenient to your home? If not, have you lined up places to stay after your surgery and someone to help you out while you recover? Will you be able to get to the surgeon's office quickly if you have any problem or emergency after surgery?
- Talk to your general practitioner before deciding on cosmetic procedures. He or she will have your best interests in mind.
- Although a doctor may call him or herself a cosmetic surgeon, and claim, rightfully, that they have specialist training and are on the Specialist Register, it does not mean that this doctor has had specialist training in cosmetic surgery. He or she could have specialist training in any medical field.
That might seem like a lot to take in and follow through with, but it is really is essential that you do so. You should never take any risks where your health is concerned, even if you think that the procedure that you what done is risk free. The vast majority of cosmetic doctors you can have total faith in, but the disreputable ones mixed in amongst the good ones, mean that you do have to keep your guard up.
