Why choose a specialist doctor for your cosmetic surgery?

Undergoing cosmetic surgery is often a decision based on self-love, the desire to improve our self-esteem, and the wish to reward our bodies, which have been our faithful companions throughout our lives. However, many people who opt for cosmetic surgery entrust themselves to others who lack the academic training, experience, or knowledge for these types of procedures, putting their physical integrity, health, and even their lives at risk.

Risks of cosmetic surgery not performed by professionals

Rajee Narinesingh’s story became internationally known a few years ago. A fake doctor had injected cement and tire sealant into her cheekbones, completely disfiguring her face. While this is an extreme case, it’s true that putting our health in the hands of charlatans or unprofessional individuals can be very costly. There are known cases where unauthorized facial or body fillers have been used, toxic substances injected, and techniques applied for which the practitioners were not trained, resulting in infections, inflammation, disfigured body parts, wounds that won’t heal, and a true nightmare for the patients.

7 recommendations for choosing the right cosmetic surgeon

Because of cases like the ones above, today we want to share with you 7 recommendations to follow before choosing where and with whom to have cosmetic surgery.

1. Verify that the cosmetic doctor or surgeon has the official qualification for that specialty.
2. Request recommendations from people who have already undergone cosmetic surgery with that same specialist and with others. Read their testimonials .
3. Visit the medical center where the operation would be performed.
4. Check and investigate the brands of products that the specialist works with.
5. Get well informed about the post-operative process and the follow-up that the specialist will provide directly with him or her, not with agents from the commercial area.
6. To delve deeper into the risks associated with that particular type of cosmetic surgery.
