How to choose the best aesthetic plastic surgery center
Having decided on plastic surgery, everyone must, first of all, think about choosing the right surgeon, and here are some crucial points to check:
- If the clinic is equipped with the latest equipment and provides its patients with comfortable conditions and an attentive attitude
- The clinic employs only high-quality surgeons licensed to perform plastic surgery.
- An agreement between a patient and you is a must. There should be all the nuances concerning both the operation itself and the postoperative support and payment.
- Mandatory medical examination of the upper and lower respiratory tract before rhinoplasty.
- Computer modeling of the future nose shape is provided, but a complete correspondence is not guaranteed. Note that a qualified professional will never claim that the monitor’s image is entirely consistent with reality — the shape of the nose always varies by a few millimeters.
- The reputation of the facial plastic surgeon and the vast experience in performing the nose job exactly.
- The reviews by real patients after serving by the specified doctor on forums or consumer reviews aggregators. If possible, try to find these people and contact them in person.
- Before-after photos of the plastic surgeon. So you can check if the after results are appropriate for you.
