Before choosing a surgeon, you’ll want to consider their qualifications, experience, and board certification.
A cosmetic surgeon focuses on enhancing appearance through elective procedures, often outside of medical necessity. A plastic surgeon, however, specializes in reconstructive surgery to repair defects or injuries and can perform cosmetic procedures as well, blending medical and aesthetic goals.
You should look for a surgeon who specializes in the procedure you’re interested in and has a strong track record of successful outcomes. It’s also important to review patient testimonials and before-and-after photos.
