Cosmetic Surgery Dallas

If you are considering cosmetic surgery, there are several surgeons in your area. You will want to find a board certified doctor. Be sure to ask if your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If your doctor is certified by the ABPS it means:

• They have earned a degree from an accredited medical school

• They have completed 3 years of general surgery

• They have completed 2-3 years of supervised residency in plastic surgery

• They have had at least 2 years of professional practice

• They have passed rigorous written and oral exams

This is your appearance that we are talking about; you don't want to take any chances. After you've found a surgeon, you'll want to schedule an appointment to discuss the procedure that you desire. Be very specific about what you want changed and how.

Ask:

• What are my choices in techniques and procedures?

• What usually happens during the surgery? How long does the procedure last?

• Where will the incisions be made?

• How much pain can I expect after surgery?

• How long does it take to see the full effect of my surgery

Most cosmetic surgeries have a low rate of complications, but be aware that every surgery carries some risk. Be sure to discuss the possible risks and complications with your surgeon so that are fully informed before your surgery.

Some patients have reactions to the anesthesia or sedation used during surgery. Most anesthetic complications occur with general anesthesia.

Possible Complications:

• Blood clots

• Nerve damage
