If you have been considering plastic surgery, you have many decisions to make. Choosing the best plastic surgeon for you can take time, but it will pay off with a more positive experience and better results. Many factors help identify an excellent plastic surgeon from a less skilled one, including their education, experience, and results.
What is a Plastic Surgeon?
When you hear “plastic surgeon,” you may immediately think of nose surgeries or breast implants, but plastic surgery is a wide field with many specialties. Some plastic surgeons specialize in reconstructing areas of the face or body that have been injured. Others specialize in congenital (present at birth) conditions or specific areas of the body. All plastic surgeons are medical doctors (MD) or doctors of osteopathy (DO).
