Question:
Questions to ask for plastics

I know some basic questions to ask, but can anyone give me some questions to ask while I am talking to all these plastic surgeons? thanks Denise    — DENISE B. (posted on April 7, 2004)

Hi. Good idea to seek several opinions! Questions to ask: "Are you board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?" "Where is the procedure performed...hospital or other facility?" "Who gives the anesthesia, doctor or nurse?" "Can I see photos of patients who have had exactly what I'm having?" "Show me examples of good scars AND bad scars?" "What is your personal experience with complications, percentage-wise?" "Is there somebody who had surgery recently like mine who I could talk to?" Whew! I feel like I'VE just been to the doctor!
