How to Compare Surgery Providers

When you begin to research plastic surgery practices in your area, there are a few things you should keep in mind. While some people do comparisons based on physician credentials, others may focus on results and use before and after photos to choose their favorite. At the plastic surgery office of Fort Myers cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Manuel Peña, we believe you should get everything you are looking for in one spot. We encourage you to write out a list of the features that are most important to you. If you cannot find a practice that meets all of your needs, keep looking. You deserve to have an exceptional experience with the best personal care and skill available.

Here are a few points of comparison to consider.

 

Physician Education/Experience

 

Although most cosmetic surgeons may use the word “experienced” to describe themselves, do not just take their word for it. Ask for specific details about their background such as where they did their post-graduate training and how many procedures they have performed.

 

Results

 

Cosmetic surgery practices should keep updated statistics on hand regarding the outcome of various types of procedures. You can ask about instances of side-effects or surgical complications and request to see before and after photos. Some plastic surgeons will have a list of patient testimonials for you to review or contact information for satisfied patients that would be happy to discuss results and level of care with you.

 

Facility

 

A great way to get a feel for the environment is to schedule a consultation and take a brief tour. That way, you can ask questions about the procedure and the surgical process while seeing how things run at the practice. You can meet the surgical and support staff and see what kind of role technology plays. Ideally, most cosmetic patients desire to have their treatments performed in an atmosphere that is warm and inviting, not overly clinical.

 

Technology

 

During your consultation, ask about the technologies that are involved in the procedure you are interested in having performed. Ask for detailed explanations of how each aspect of technology works and how it improves the patient experience.

 

Procedures

 

Your cosmetic surgeon should present you with a list of options to help you meet your body contouring or facial rejuvenation goals. You want to find a practice that offers a wide variety of procedures to give you the most comprehensive options to choose from.

 

Staff

 

Pay attention to the attitude, demeanor and personality of each staff member you encounter. How staff members carry themselves and respond to your questions is a good indicator of how the practice runs as a whole and whether teamwork is important.

 

Financing

 

You want to search for a Naples plastic surgery practice with affordable financing options. Not only does the presence of multiple payment options show the practice cares about helping you afford the investment, it allows you the freedom to choose the most comfortable way to pay for cosmetic care.
