Plastic surgery is the most meticulous field of surgery. Attention to detail throughout the entire process is necessary to achieve a perfect result. But how should you select a plastic surgeon?

First, you must be convinced of his or her talent as a surgeon. They must be well trained and be respected in the community by other patients and doctors, and should be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (www.plasticsurgery.org). Additionally, if you are interested in cosmetic surgery, your surgeon should be a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (www.surgery.org). You want a surgeon that not only has a good "bedside manner", but someone who has always been at the "top of the class". This should be determined by the resumè and during the consultation with your surgeon.

Second, pay attention to the details of the office. The office staff and style is directly influenced by the surgeon. Examine the phone contact and printed material you receive. Are your questions being answered with experience and knowledge? Does the office have the ability to provide you with other necessary services, such as skin care, to assure your result is the best possible? Before undergoing any surgery, you must know exactly what the procedure is that will benefit you most, how it is performed, what the risks might be, what the recovery period is like, and what the costs are.

Third, follow your intuition. Trust and communication with your plastic surgeon is absolutely essential for success. You may find, like thousands of other patients have, that Dr. Prescott is your best choice.
