The doctor of
course, should also be licensed to practice medicine in your state. Do not think
that just because the doctor has diplomas hanging on his office wall, it makes
him a good doctor.
If you want to be completely sure you can run a background check using one of the companies on the Internet to know if the doctor has any legal problems due to malpractice. You can also contact the associations and ask how you can make sure that this doctor is a good doctor or at least licensed.
Be careful with doctors that advertise aggressively on price or are located in bad neighborhoods.
Ask the doctor what is the procedure in case of complications during or after the surgery.
This is not the time to get a bargain. If you do not have the money to pay a good, prestigious doctor with a lot of experience, wait until you have the money.
Pictures. All plastic surgeons have pictures of previous patients. You should carefully review these pictures and ask questions. You should pay attention to the scars and the general appearance after the surgery.
Do not think that you have found a good doctor based on the pictures you see. Good before and after pictures alone are not a confirmation that a doctor is good. Pictures can be altered very easily; besides, you have no assurance that those pictures are really from his or her patients. Ask the doctor to show you pictures when things went wrong. You should not get discouraged but this will help you to make an informed decision.
Latinas and breast augmentation
It is true that women with darker skin tones may be more prone to develop more visible scars, but in general, Latinas are like everybody else. If you prefer to go to a doctor who sees a lot of ethnic patients, that is your choice.
Dr. Bruck told us during an interview that his Latina customers tend to be "good patients" and they are very appreciative of the doctor's work.
Financial options for plastic surgery
Plastic surgery is expensive, and generally speaking, not covered by the health
insurance. Many people pay right out of their wallets or put it on their credit
cards.
In addition, there are special loans to pay for plastic surgery. As with any
other loan, be careful before you sign on the dotted line. Make sure you
understand how much you are borrowing, what is the interest rate, and what
happens if you are late in making payments. Consult with a financial advisor to
make sure that you do not commit a mistake in paying for the surgery.
The payment option offered varies by doctor, but in most cases, you need to
leave a deposit when you book the surgery, and pay the rest right before the
surgery.
