Florida cosmetic surgery centers

Tracy M. Pfeifer, MD answers: Miami Facelift doctor recommendations

What doctor would you recommend for a Facelift in south Florida? There are so many cosmetic surgery centers down here I was wondering if it's better to go to a doctor with his own practice. Can you recommend a doctor near Miami?

Hi Morgana.  You pose an interesting question about cosmetic surgery centers.  I am not familiar with all the center types in Florida.  Some centers are businesses owned by a non-physician.  The business hires physicians to work for them.  There are talented doctors in every type of situation.  However, in general, I believe that plastic surgeons with their own practice are preferable.  They control everything about their office and are not under "pressure" from business people.  I suggest you talk to lots of people to get references and see more than one plastic surgeon in consultation.  Look for a plastic surgeon who is Board Certified in their specialty and is dedicated to aesthetic surgery.  Hope this helps.
