I think you should quiz a plastic surgeon, cosmetic dentist, or dermatologist with questions that get to specifics about the appropriateness of a cosmetic treatment or plastic surgery procedure for you.
1. Why is this treatment right for me? 2. Have you reviewed my medical history? 3. Why is this treatment appropriate for my skin type? 4. Can you describe an excellent, average, and poor outcome from this treatment? 5. How many times have you performed this procedure in the past 6 months? 6. How many times have you performed this procedure on the body area I want to address? 7. What are your board certifications and formal training credentials? 8. What training does the attending staff have? 9. Can I review patient testimonials as well as before and after photographs? 10. What procedures are in place to deal with an emergency?
