If you are thinking about getting a plastic surgery, it is essential that you evaluate the
skills and experience of the surgeon. The majority of aesthetic procedures allow patients to obtain positive results
when they are performed by a certified plastic surgeon.

Who are the plastic surgeons?
Plastic surgeons perform procedures that modify the form or appearance of an area of the patient’s body. Not only do they practice plastic surgeries such as nose jobs and facelift, they also do reconstructive surgeries for patients who had accidents or for those who suffer from a birth defect.
What is a plastic surgery?
Plastic surgeons, and, therefore, plastic surgery in general, includes all special procedures that are intended to improve, regain or maintain physical appearance and beauty. Aesthetic surgeries can also include liposuction, and other interventions which in addition to their cosmetic aspect, are usually done to help reduce the weight of the patient and the uncomfort that he feels.
What are the tasks of a plastic surgeon?
Contrary to common beliefs, plastic surgeons do more than simple lifts and abdominoplasty. Although certain surgeons specialize in cosmetic procedures developed to enhance the physical appearance of the patient, other surgeons are specialists in reconstructive procedures that recover the mobility of patients after an injury.
How to chose a plastic surgeon?
You have to analyze certain basic aspects that need to be taken into consideration while choosing a plastic surgeon.
Trainings and certifications
A plastic surgeon has spent several years studying and training to gain a specific experience and become an expert in
the chosen specialty. They obtained a diploma in medicine, have completed at least 5 years of studies and trainings
in surgery, have succeded in their surgical trainings and are judged to be qualified and certified to practice
plastic and reconstructive surgery.
A plastic surgeon exercises surgeries all over the body, from head to toe,
which allows them to better understand the whole body. This also provides them with a large experience in a variety
of surgical techniques required for complex problems.
Consultations
No matter what is their specialty, all plastic surgeons do a consultation for their patients. They need to talk to the patient to determine the desired result of the surgery and to explain the possible risks and side effects of surgeries.
Non surgical procedures
Plastic surgeons specialized in cosmetic procedures often use non-surgical techniques on the skin and enhance the external appearance of the patient's body. Botox injection is a secondary specialty that is common among plastic surgeons, just like chemical facial peeling.
Surgery after care
Plastic surgereons also provide check ups for patients after a surgery to make sure that infections are avoided or
treated if necessary and that the surgery has achieved its goals.
In certain cases, they can direct the patients
to physiotherapists or other specialists to optimize their recovery.
