I have been on one of my first few consults about a periareolar breast lift and augmentation. My question is this how do I go about getting infection rates for each specific doctor?

Answer: Infection rates after breast surgery Not sure if you can find published infection rates for each doctor but I suggest you ask the surgeons themselves what their complication rates are. I like to track my complications so I always tell patients their chance of developing an infection or hematoma or seroma (or etc.) during the initial consult. Make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon (meaning they have the appropriate education and training) to perform your surgery. Good luck in your search!

Answer: Infection rates by physician This is one of the many questions you should ask in your consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Across the board when a breast augmentation is performed in a sterile operating room environment the rate of infection should be quite low. It can never be zero but there are many things that can be done to decrease the risk of complications. You should have a frank discussion with the board-certified plastic surgeon you choose to care for you.I hope this helps.Dr. Edwards
