Considering a tummy tuck. How can I choose the right surgeon?

If a member of my family underwent a tummy tuck, it would be
performed by an experienced plastic surgeon who is board certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you can find through the Smart Beauty Guide. If you are serious about undergoing
these procedures, you should have a thorough consultation with a plastic
surgeon having those credentials, who will fully explain what is entailed in
the procedures, including both the positives and potential problems. You should
be complimented on the fact that you are seeking valid information before
jumping into any procedure.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.I usually tell my patients that the first step for a safe plastic surgery is to choose a board certified aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon.This should have a personal website containing details of his professional biography and some photos of the procedures performed.Your plastic surgeon should be transparent and a honest person with you, with ethical and human values, and especially with good reputation and history. Also, it's much better if this doctor have special training and experience in procedures like the one you're interested.Finally, i invite you to send your photos to give you more information of interest for you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
