Maximizing Your Safety

All surgeries have risks, but the risks of plastic surgery can be minimized if you make the right choices. Here are some factors that can help you make sure your facial surgery is as safe as possible:
  • Make sure you meet your plastic surgeon before agreeing to the surgery. Your surgeon should be prepared to meet with you for as long as it takes to address your concerns, and not be brushing your questions aside to rush off to another appointment.
  • Your surgeon should put safety first. A surgeon vested in a culture of safety, he or she will take care of many details that you can neither appreciate nor evaluate before the surgery. Gauge your surgeon's responses to questions during your consultation. Is safety at the forefront, or does it seem to be merely an afterthought?
  • Check your surgeon's reputation, expertise, and experience. Your surgeon should not only be trained and skilled in your procedure, but he or she should have performed the surgery numerous times recently.
  • Your surgery should take place either in a hospital or in an accredited surgical suite. The accreditation should be done either through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAHC) or the Ambulatory Surgical Center Association (ASCA).
  • You surgeon and support personnel should all be up to date and certified in advanced cardiac life support, and have contingency plans prepared in the event of complications, including a transfer agreement with a nearby hospital.

Ask your surgeon about all these factors, and make sure you feel comfortable with his or her answers before you agree to surgery.
