There are many considerations to keep in mind when hiring a cosmetic doctor. There are dangers involved in any surgery and cosmetic surgery shouldn’t be taken lightly. You will want to choose a cosmetic doctor as carefully as you would choose any other doctor. There are certain general guidelines that any potential cosmetic surgery patient should consider when choosing a doctor:
– The best cosmetic doctor to choose will be associated with or based in the Royal College of Surgeons. The Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors demonstrate standards of practice that you would reasonably expect from any surgeon or doctor. Hospitals that have strong NHS consultants will follow these standards.
– Make your own decisions about what you need done. Don’t let anyone, including a surgeon, talk you into any procedure with which you’re uncomfortable. Remember that you don’t have to make any on the spot decisions, so take as much time as you need.
– Don’t make non-refundable deposits. You don’t want to get locked into any procedure because you have put money down on it.
– Think about where you’ll have your surgery done. If you will not be near your home, where will you stay after surgery, how will you get around and will it be difficult to travel to follow up appointments?
– See your general practitioner before deciding on cosmetic surgery. Your GP will make sure that you choose your best options and help you find a good cosmetic surgeon.
– Keep in mind that any doctor can refer to him or herself as cosmetic surgeon, even if they have no training in the field. So even if the doctor you choose is on the Specialist Register, and calls him or herself a cosmetic surgeon, it doesn’t mean that that doctor has had special training in cosmetic surgery.
