Doctors, may you all be continuously blessed for bringing happiness in the lives of those who need a little more confidence in their physical appearance. Is it really necessary to consult with more than one doctor regarding a BA, if the first one I see I'm comfortable with, and more than qualified? My consultatation is coming up soon with doctor Michael Gartner. If I am comfortable with the first board-certified doctor I see, would it be fool-hardy to not consult with others before BA surgery?
Answer: Multiple consults Thank you for your question. A second/third opinion is not necessary, but often is helpful if you are not 100% comfortable with the first surgeon you see. Having said that, if you like your surgeon's before/after photos, trust their credentials, and generally comfortable with them, then I see no reason not to proceed with that surgeon, even if it is the first one. Good luck.

Answer: Not necessary If you feel comfortable with that surgeon, have good rapport with them, and they have a good understanding of your expectations, then there’s probably no need to see other surgeons.

Answer: Breast augmentation consult It's not necessary unless YOU feel like you need multiple consultations. If you find someone with a good reputation and you like their team and office set up, and you have trust in the surgeon, then it's reasonable to proceed. If you don't, or if you need more confidence that you would like more education and advice, you can always have more consultations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: You can see just one Eyag: While it is very common for patients to obtain a consultation from 2 or 3 Plastic Surgeons prior to their procedure there is nothing wrong with signing up with the first Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you consult with as long as you feel completely comfortable with him or her.Best of luck to you!G.

Answer: Consultations Hello,Thank you for your question. If you have researched and found a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and has plenty of experience, then you may also be quite comfortable after your consult and decide to go ahead. Seeing more than one surgeon is not necessary but often helpful for comparison. Seeking second opinions may make you even more sure of your first choice. Be sure to see before and after photos and have all of your questions answered.All the best

Answer: Consults Yes, it is vital. Would you ever purchase your first home after seeing only 1 house? By seeing another surgeon, this will confirm the first surgeon is the perfect surgeon for you, or tell you that the first surgeons isn't everything that you thought he was. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
