BBL with a cosmetic surgeon, who's not a plastic surgeon. Concerning or don't worry?

Question

I have made a deposit with a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon by the name of Patrick Abuzeni, MD with Seduction Cosmetics, however, I got home and did research and found out that he ISN'T a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon!! Is there anyway I could get my money back? Also, why isn't a cosmetic surgeon recommended for a BBL oppose to a plastic surgeon? Should I be concerned about him? He also has absolutely no reviews or patients on RealSelf!

Hello! I completely understand your concerns. With any surgery, especially a BBL, we try to achieve the patients aesthetic goals by tailoring an individual surgical plan. We do so by taking into consideration their anatomy, and desired outcome. This requires extensive training and experience. All Plastic Surgeons undergo rigorous training and are qualified to perform cosmetic procedures, but not all Cosmetic Surgeons are Plastic Surgeons. I would suggest finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon through the ASPS website who has reliable results and can perform your surgery in a safe and reputable surgical environment. As far as your deposit, it is very possible that you may not get it back pursuant to your contract. I would look over your financial agreement. Hope everything turns out in your favor!

Because the success of this procedure is so highly dependent on the surgical techniques, I'd recommend a board certified PLASTIC surgeon who is experienced in fat grafting (liposuction, processing, and re-injections).Surgeons who get Boarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgery have a much more rigorous and comprehensive training.Dr. Abuzeni may be a very skilled cosmetic surgeon, but if you don't feel comfortable, you should pursue your options with his office. If you are getting medical treatment, you deserve to have the best care and be 100% sure of your decision, especially before opting in to elective surgery.The web reference below includes 6 questions you should ask when vetting plastic surgeons for a brazilian butt lift.Best wishes!
