Is a “Resident” Clinic a good idea for difficult- ish case?

All of us have trained in that type of environment and to your advantage, the fees are usually somewhat cheaper. The residents will have the guidance of a senior surgeon present. Do ask to have the senior surgeon present during the consultation to verify what should be done. Also, most of these resident surgeons have already completed 5 or more years of general surgery training first, and many have excellent skills now.

Hello, thank you for your question. A breast augmentation is a straight forward surgery. It still has its risk factors. Most of the time even a resident would be highly trained of course capable of doing the surgery. If this is something you are uncomfortable with then you choose someone else. Its your decision.

Thanks for your inquiry, all board certified plastic surgeon's start as residents. Residents care is supervised by senior staff, you might do more research on who is is the senior staff to find out their expertise. Good luck.
