How To Get The Best Surgeon For Your Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Most women aren’t really satisfied with the small or normal size of their breasts. More often than not, they believe that a larger and fuller breast looks more beautiful and could make them feel more confident. Good thing is that surgeons found a very comfortable way to enhance those breasts through breast augmentation surgery.
Technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is an aesthetic surgery done to enlarge small, underdeveloped breasts, performed to balance asymmetric breasts due to post mastectomy reconstruction, and give breast volume to women who have given birth.
Breast Augmentation is fairly safe but no procedure is completely risk free. There are several concerns regarding breast augmentation like the surgery itself, the implants and the risk of anesthesia. However these complications could be lessen by choosing the right surgeon. In order to find a doctor that could give your desired results, it is important to look for the following:
Training
Pick a surgeon who has completed at least five to six years of formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery in accredited training hospitals. There are 4 residency programs in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery which are accredited by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery and the Philippine College of Surgeons. These are the training programs of the UP-PGH Medical Center, UST, and the 2 consortium programs approved by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery where residents rotate in various hospitals. Training includes three to five years of general surgery residency and two to three years of plastic surgery residency. Doctors who have completed residency training in plastic and reconstructive surgery are the only doctors who can rightfully claim to be plastic surgeons.
Certification
A good surgeon should have completed the accredited plastic residency training program enables the doctor to become a “board-eligible” plastic surgeon, meaning that he is qualified to take the written and oral examinations of the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery. After the doctor passes both written and oral examinations, he becomes a “board-certified” plastic surgeon.
Many doctors who perform cosmetic surgery procedures are board-certified in specialties other than plastic surgery or may even lack such credentials. It is recommended that the patient choose a plastic surgeon that is duly certified by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery, the only organization recognized by the Philippine College of Surgeons to grant board certification in the field of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the Philippines.
Experience
Good credentials provide a reasonable indication of a doctor’s qualification to perform cosmetic surgery, and should serve as the basic starting point. Patients should then ask the surgeon about his experience. How long has he been in practice and how many times has he done the procedure you are considering? The broader your surgeon’s experience is, the greater your chances for a successful surgery.
Testimonials and Before and After Pictures
It would also help you decide whether a surgeon is good or not by reading all the testimonials of a surgeon’s patients. They could testify whether the doctor did a great job in their operation or not. Browsing the before and after pictures will also give you some proofs how good a surgeon is.
If you are thinking of having a breast augmentation surgery, you should really give time researching for your surgeon’s background. This will not only give you some information about how good a surgeon is, but it could also make you feel comfortable and confident.
