Hello everyone this is Dr. Raphael Emerick
Salas I'm your board certified
plastic surgeon and this is your plastic
surgery nip it's a collection of videos
and important bits of information to
help you on your plastic surgery journey
give me a few minutes
and I'll give you the power of knowledge
so you can make better decisions for
your aesthetic goals.
Today we're going to be talking about how to choose a plastic surgeon you may think hmm
can I just google that and that's a
start but there's a couple of things you
want to keep in mind I want to give you
three important things to look out for
number one make sure your surgeon is
board certified in plastic surgery
there is board certifications for
everything family medicine OBGYN general
surgery and on and on with specialties
key thing and very important there is no
cosmetic surgery board certification
you're either a plastic surgeon or
you're not so keep that in mind when
people throw that out there board
certified really that word has gotten
kind of a buzz and you can get a board
certified parking lot attendant no
offense to parking lot attendants but
just so you understand that people throw
it around a lot so ask before you before
you book your consult and then I would
say double check go to the website
ABPlasticSurgery.org that's American
Board of plastic surgery dot org and then
just type in the name if the doctor
shows up is board-certified that's a
good start
if they're not there then they're not
board certified and I'd strongly
encourage you to check for yourself
because there's definitely a lot of new
stories now people with fake
qualifications saying their board
certified in plastic surgery and they're
not so check for yourself it's your face
it's your body it's worth a couple of
minutes to do that online all right
number two check their results go to
their websites see what their their
results are see if you like the look
that they that they do some doctors have
their their pattern of this is kind of
the look that they create I'm more of
the the style of asking and figuring out
what the patient wants and going towards
that so if you look on my site there's a
lot of variety of results so you can see
if you know if it's something that you
like.
Number three is meet the doctor right
you wanna preferably in person but if
not at least a video chat, FaceTime, Skype,
anything where you can interact and get
a feel for that doctor because you're
gonna know, you have that interaction and
you'll feel this is my guy this is
my lady this is the person I think I can
trust to do this procedure and I'm not
everybody's plastic surgeon I'd love to
be but I understand that sometimes
you'll just buy better with somebody
else when that happens when you get that
feeling that's who you should go with
now notice I didn't mention prices one
of the key things to look out for
because that's a very personal decision
only you can make but I will say this
you only get one face in one body so I
wouldn't cut corners on that.
Remember coupons are for groceries not
for plastic surgery. So I hope that
helped I wish you luck on your journey
