How to Find a Surgeon for Your Breast Enlargement
What to do to find the best surgeon for your breast enlargement
If you’re reading this post, then the chances are you’re interested in breast enlargement surgery. Whether you’re simply doing a spot of research or are in the process of planning the procedure, finding a surgeon to carry out your breast enlargement is one of the most important decisions.
A great deal of time will go into making this choice, too. You shouldn’t settle for anyone who won’t carry out the operation to the highest standard and has your best interests at heart.
We’ve put this guide together to give you a few handy tips to help you along with your search and what you need to be aware of when it comes to picking a surgeon.
Thoroughly research any potential surgeons
When making a large purchase, people usually do a lot of research before handing over their money. Choosing a surgeon shouldn’t be any different. Breast enlargement surgery is a huge investment and will not just affect your bank account, but also your body and overall health.
However, the process of researching surgeons is somewhat different than deciding what new product to buy. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Read reviews from previous customers
You could start this by having a look through their website. Most surgeons will have a section dedicated to testimonials from previous customers detailing their experience with them. However, it’s likely that they hand-pick these reviews and only include those that show them in a positive light.
This is why you need to go even further in your research. You could start by looking at surgeons who are registered with the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), to ensure a certain level of trustworthiness and capability.
There’s even a website where you can look through surgeons in your area and read reviews about them, both positive and negative.
How experienced are they?
Another area to consider is how long they have been working as a surgeon. The longer they have been performing breast enlargement surgeries, the chances are they will be incredibly skilled at them.
However, this does not mean that newly trained and qualified surgeons are any worse than experienced ones. A lot of the time, they have picked up newer techniques and are able to follow along with recent trends.
Is your plastic surgeon in a convenient location?
The last thing you want to do following surgery is to travel long distances. While many people are happy to look outside their region for a reputable surgeon, it may not be wise to choose one that is hours away.
On the other hand, if you find a surgeon that is perfect in all other areas of your research but they are based in a location miles from your home, there are ways to get around it. You could look into staying at a hotel following your surgery until you feel up to travelling back.
Look at before and after surgery photos
Many clinics, and often individual surgeons, will have some form of social media where they’ll post about recent surgeries they’ve carried out. It is here where you’ll most likely find before and after photos.
Take a look through these and decide whether the results they show are similar to how you would like your breast enlargement to look after healing. It’s helpful to find an example where the before looks like your breasts now to give you an idea of what to expect post-operation.
Be realistic with your surgeon about your breast enlargement expectations
In your mission to find a good surgeon for your breast enlargement, you need to be honest with yourself. It is perfectly reasonable to want dramatic results from your surgery, but make sure you take on board all of the advice you have received from medical professionals during your search.
