The BEAUTY by BUFORD team is here to help you understand the importance of choosing the right plastic surgeon and to simplify this process. So keep reading to learn more.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon

No matter what procedure you’re in the market for, there’s no doubt that choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most essential parts of your aesthetic journey. Here are the main reasons you should thoroughly research your options before scheduling a consultation. 

#1: Safety & Quality-Assurance Is Key

Plastic surgery involves significant alterations to the body, which can be risky if not done correctly. By cutting corners on quality, you’re rolling the dice with your health and body image, which could lead to medical complications, dissatisfaction, or higher costs in the long run. When you take the time to choose the right surgeon, however, you are more likely to get the results you want with less risk.

#2: You Should Always Feel Comfortable with Your Provider

Your plastic surgeon isn’t just another distant connection in your network. Your plastic surgeon is a professional you’ll have a consistent relationship with before, during, and after your procedure. Because of this, it’s important to feel comfortable with them (and their team) at the outset of treatment so that you can continue to communicate your goals and concerns and ensure that your surgeon achieves them effectively. 

#3: Your Consultation, Procedure, & Recovery Decide Your Outcome

Pre and post-operative care is crucial for a successful recovery with optimal results. The quality and consistency of your consultation and follow-up appointments will help determine how successful your outcome is. They can be the deciding factor between treatment success and a return to the operating table in the future. Choose the time to choose the right provider so that you hit your body goals the first time around. 

The Right Surgeon

It isn’t enough to know why you need to choose the right provider – you need to know what makes a provider the right one in the first place. The right surgeon will be…

Board-Certified

When it comes to plastic surgery, board certification is not just a title. It’s a testament to a surgeon’s extensive training, knowledge, and commitment to patient safety. To become board-certified, a plastic surgeon must complete a rigorous process that includes years of specialized training and a series of comprehensive examinations. This process ensures they possess the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and effectively perform plastic surgery.

 

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Buford is dedicated to his craft. This testament to his expertise demonstrates his commitment to the highest standards of patient care and the wealth of knowledge to guide you safely on your aesthetic journey.

And make sure that your Plastic Surgeon is actually a Plastic Surgeon. Many physicians will refer to themselves as a “Cosmetic Surgeon.” Just remember this title is not equivalent to being an actual Plastic Surgeon. A Plastic Surgeon can perform Cosmetic Surgery, but a Cosmetic Surgeon cannot actually perform Plastic Surgery. The difference is that a true Plastic Surgeon has actually completed formal training in Plastic Surgery and has not just shadowed someone in a weekend course. Be very wary of this distinction and ask this question of any person performing your Plastic Surgery.  

Experienced

Beyond board certification, a surgeon’s experience in the specific procedures you’re considering is critical to the success of your treatment. This experience is critical because each area of cosmetic surgery requires different skills.

Named by the Consumers’ Research Council of America as one of “America’s Top Surgeons,” Dr. Buford has extensive experience in a wide range of procedures, including breast augmentations, breast lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, and facials. In fact, Dr. Buford has performed over 7,000 breast-related procedures alone and is the author of the Boob Job Bible, a breast enhancement guide from surgery to recovery and beyond – which means it’s safe to say he’s got your needs covered. 

Your Aesthetic Match

Plastic surgery is as much an art as it is a science. It requires a keen eye for beauty and a deep understanding of the human form. Therefore, when choosing a plastic surgeon, it’s essential to consider their aesthetic sense. Does their idea of beauty align with yours? Do the before and after photos of their previous patients inspire confidence in their ability to achieve your desired results?

Dr. Buford possesses a refined aesthetic sense honed over years of experience.
