When
choosing a surgeon who is experienced with breast implantation, we recommend that
you find out the answers to the following questions:
In
which states is he/she licensed to practice surgery? Note that some state medical
licencing boards provide information on disciplinary action and malpractice claims/settlements
to prospective patients either by request or on the internet.
Is he/she board certified,
and if so, with which board?
How
many breast augmentation, reconstruction, or revision surgeries does he/she perform
per year?
How
many years has he/she performed breast implantation surgeries?
What are the most common
complications he/she encounters with patients after breast implantation?
What is his/her reoperation
rate with breast implants and what is the most common type of reoperation he/she
performs?
When
you have answers to these questions, you will have a better idea of the technical
qualifications of your surgeon.
