So, you are considering plastic surgery. If this is the case, you are probably trying to figure out how to find the best plastic surgeon. After all, a bad plastic surgeon could literally scar you for life! As more and more are turning to plastic surgery to help them with their looks, plastic surgeons are popping up left and right. There are a few questions you should ask before you choose a plastic surgeon. These questions will help you from making a big mistake and ending up with a surgery result that you are unhappy with.

First, ask your potential plastic surgeon about their past history with the particular form of plastic surgery you are seeking. Find out exactly how many patients they have done the procedure on. If they are a rookie, run the other way! Remember, repeat customers probably means the doctor is doing something right. Also, you do not want to be his or her practice case!

Second, ask the doctor about the side effects that are likely from the plastic surgery. This is especially important, because many types of plastic surgery can lead to some interesting side effects. You will be told the common side effects when you opt to have the surgery, but you want to ask your doctor about the rare problems that occur with the procedure you are considering. Decide if the side effects are worth the risk. Also, find out what the risk really is, but keep in mind that even if the risk is really low, you might be the one that gives in to the side effect!

Next, beyond side effects, you will want to find out what could go wrong while you are being operated on. For example, ask the doctor what he could possibly do wrong and realize that he needs to be honest with you. If the doctor is not willing to tell you what could possibly go wrong, you might want to consider a different doctor for your plastic surgery.

Next, ask about any suits that the doctor has faced. Specifically, find out if your doctor has faced or is currently dealing with any malpractice suits due to their plastic surgery. You will probably feel uncomfortable asking this question, but you have a right to know if the doctor has made a huge mistake recently. Also, if you find out there is a malpractice suit against the doctor, make it a point to get as many details as you can, so that you know the cause of the suit. You may find it was not the doctor's fault after all.
