When it comes to plastic surgery, it is important to choose the right plastic surgeon. Whether you are looking for cosmetic enhancements or reconstructive surgery, the right plastic surgeon will make all the difference when it comes to the outcome of your procedure. And at The Vu Center in Oregon, all we do is positive outcomes.
Choosing a plastic surgeon is not a decision to be taken lightly, which is something we want to stress to all of our readers. You want to make sure you are in the hands of a professional who is qualified and has the experience to provide you with the outcome you desire. Here are four tips from The Vu Center to help you choose the best plastic surgeon for your needs!
Check Credentials and Experience
The first and most important step in choosing a plastic surgeon is to make sure they are board certified, such as our very own doctor Kim Chi Vu. This means your chosen surgeon should have completed the training and education necessary to be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). It is also a good idea to research the doctor’s experience and reputation in the field. Ask for referrals from friends and family and read reviews online.
Consider Their Specialties
Plastic surgeons specialize in different areas of treatment. For example, at The Vu Center, we specialize in:
- Facial cosmetic surgeries
- Body procedures (which can include liposuction)
- Breast augmentation and correction
- Hand procedures (for restorative surgery or other procedures)
- Procedures for men
If you are looking for cosmetic enhancements, you will want to find a plastic surgeon who specializes in your area of need. If you are looking for reconstructive surgery, you will want to find a doctor who specializes in that as well. Make sure to ask your potential surgeon about their experience in the area you are looking for.
Visit the Surgeon’s Office
Once you have narrowed down your choices, it is a good idea to visit the office of the plastic surgeon you are considering. This will allow you to meet the doctor and staff, get a feel for the office, and make sure you are comfortable with the environment. Visiting the office will allow you to receive a fast answer to your questions, as well as allow you to familiarize yourself with the environment and the surgery staff you’ll be working with.
Ask About the Procedures
It is important to make sure the plastic surgeon understands your goals and is able to explain the procedures they offer clearly. Ask questions about the risks and benefits of each procedure to make sure you are comfortable with the information you are being given. Some surgeries sound great on the surface (who doesn’t want a slimmer tummy?), but those surgeries might require certain types of surgical intervention, or demand lengthy recovery times. This is why it’s so important to ask about the procedures beforehand.
All of our procedures at The Vu Center start with a thorough consultation. We do this because we want our clients to have as much information about their cosmetic surgery as possible. Our pre-surgery consultation is a chance for you to get to know doctor Kim Chi Vu and doctor Jared Madsen —two extremely talented surgeons on The Vu Center’s staff. We encourage you to ask any questions you might have or raise concerns about your surgery. Our staff is happy to answer any questions and will work with you to find a solution that works best for you.
Choosing the best plastic surgeon for your needs is an important decision. By taking the time to do your research and ask the right questions, you can ensure you are in the hands of a qualified professional. From checking credentials and experience to considering their specialties and asking about the procedures, there are several steps you can take to make sure you choose the best plastic surgeon for you.
