Choosing the right surgeon for your cosmetic procedure in Melbourne is an important decision. An experienced surgeon is more likely to produce a positive result, resulting in years of happiness and boosted confidence. Choosing an inappropriate surgeon, however, may result in a less than desirable outcome.
To choose the best cosmetic surgeon in Melbourne for your needs, you must shop around, and assess various surgeons’ qualifications, skill, reputation, after-care – and finally, your gut feeling, which includes how comfortable you feel with the surgeon and if you feel you could trust them. Let’s take a look at these points in finer detail.
Qualifications & skill
- Are they qualified to perform the procedure in question?
- How did they train for the procedure you would like performed?
- How many patients have they treated previously for this cosmetic procedure?
- Have a look at the surgeon’s work: do you share the same aesthetic sensibilities as the doctor?
Your emotional response or ‘gut feeling’
- Is the surgeon happy to spend time with you and treat any questions?
- Do you feel comfortable with the surgeon?
- Do you feel that you could trust the surgeon?
Reputation
- Have I heard or read positive/negative reviews about the surgeon?
Customer service and after-care
- Are all the prices given to me upfront?
- What kind of after-care is available?
- Am I given instructions on follow-up care after the surgical procedure?
- Is the doctor happy for you to “shop around” and asked for opinions from other surgeons?
