So, what do you look for in a tummy tuck surgeon? What questions should you ask them or yourself to determine if they’re a good fit for you? Let’s take a look.

#1: What are his or her credentials?

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when choosing a surgeon is opting for one that isn’t board-certified. A board-certified surgeon practices the latest surgical advancements and is committed to both ethical and safety standards. Dr. Tenley K. Lawton is a board-certified surgeon in Orange County and uses her advanced surgical skill and eye for detail to provide dramatic, yet natural-looking results.

#2: Does the surgeon regularly perform tummy tucks?

The ideal performing surgeon for a tummy tuck is one who knows the eccentricities that go along with the procedure. Tummy tucks are an extensive procedure that requires skill and artistry to perform. Make sure that you choose a surgeon familiar with the procedure. Dr. Lawton is a Mommy Makeover specialist who regularly performs tummy tucks for both men and women.

#3: Do they have happy clients?

Testimonials are one of the best ways to determine a surgeon’s skill. Opt for a surgeon who has a high number of happy clients who have achieved the results they want. Don’t go with the first surgeon you see after a quick internet search. Instead, scour the surgeons’ website in search of a high patient satisfaction rate.

#4: Are there before and after photos similar to what you’re looking for?

While every patient is unique, you should be able to get an idea of what your surgeon is capable of by looking at their before and after photos. Dr. Lawton has a variety of photos online as well as in-office for patients who are interested in seeing them. She meticulously works to ensure an optimal outcome with minimal scarring when possible.

#5: Do you feel comfortable being open with them?

Your surgeon will be someone whom you will be working with on a regular basis for months or more. The surgeon you choose should be someone that you feel comfortable speaking with about your concerns. A skilled surgeon will provide judgment-free feedback in a warm, welcoming environment.
