How do you choose a doctor for Blepharoplasty surgery? I have a wonderful plastic surgeon that did my Rhinoplasty who has suggested I have the procedure done. He did a wonderful job in fixing my broken nose. In reading some reviews, a few patients have said to only use an oculoplastic surgeon. What is your opinion?
Answer: Choosing an Eyelid Surgeon Expert Eyelid surgeons include Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, Facial Plastic Surgeons (ENT), and ophthalmology. There is no such thing as a "eyelid fellowship". The most critical decision to be made in achieving the best plastic surgical result is picking the most experienced and talented, that is the best, plastic surgeon possible. Too often, patients choose a physician based on a catchy ad, the brand name of a technique, the basis of one or two before and after photos, or their web site’s search engine ranking. These criteria will not find the most experienced and talented plastic surgeon.

Answer: What type of surgeon should I see for Blepharoplasty? In short, a board certified surgeon. That having been said, plastic surgeons and ophthalmologists both receive excellent training in treatment of the aging eyelid. If you already have a relationship with a plastic surgeon who did your rhinoplasty, you may be good to go. Besides checking for board certification with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, you may ask the surgeon if you could speak with one of his patients who has already had blepharoplasty. Often the best way to find out what the procedure is really like from the patient standpoint is speak with one. We encourage our prospective patients to speak with our past ones. We find that as prospective patients become surgical patients, they volunteer to speak with new patients for us. Good luck in your choice.

Answer: Selecting a surgeon for blepharoplasty An oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, and plastic surgeons are all usually very well versed in traditional blepharoplasty surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon really performs more complicated eyelid surgeries such as reconstruction from skin cancer tumors. As long as you have had a nice result from your broken nose you should continue to use your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Choosing your surgeon for eye surgery Board certification assures training and qualification, it is not necessarily the rubber stamp for skill and judgment. We all have seen public personas that make us cringe at the aesthetic results. The rhinoplaty procedure is considered one of the least forgiving facial plastic surgeries. If you obtained a good result from your rhinoplasty from a qualified surgeon you like that is your best choice to obtain a good result from your blepharoplasty.
