Choosing the right plastic surgeon. What to know.
If you’ve been thinking about having a plastic surgery procedure, chances are you’ve spent months, maybe even years doing research on what you’d like to have done and what you’d like the outcome to be. You’ve probably looked all over the internet for before and after pictures, looked at different types of procedures and have searched for information on what happens during the procedure, how much it’s going to cost and what your recovery will be like.
As you know, it’s a big decision to put it lightly. Today, more than ever, putting your best face forward can give you added confidence and an enhanced lifestyle. When you look better, you feel better and when others see that in you, you can reach all new levels of success and happiness. So how do you choose which plastic surgeon is right for you? We’ll take you through some things you can do to make sure you find the right match for what you want to have done.
Gone are the days when to have some “work” done was a hush, hush procedure. More men and women than ever are realizing that facial procedures and improvements are very important ways to practice self-care, so that they can face each day pleased with their appearance and live their best lives. Finding the right surgeon is like finding a partner, in that they must ultimately share in your aesthetic goals and can help lead you to positive results.
Because you show your face to the world each and every day, you need to trust who does the work. With over 40 years of providing the very best in vision care and technology, Beach Eye Care realized that offering aesthetic, facial and oculoplastic procedures is an extension of the comprehensive care that we offer our patients. Bringing Dr. Kanyinda on board with the Beach Eye Care team was a natural progression and furthers our commitment to providing in-demand services, treatments and procedures for our patients. So what should you look for when you’re deciding on a surgeon for your cosmetic procedure?
#1 Does your doctor specialize in the type of procedure you seek?
You wouldn’t take your car to a bike shop for repairs, so it’s crucial to find the surgeon who specializes in the type of procedure you’re looking for. First off, Dr. Kanyinda’s expertise in oculoplastics gives him the extensive breadth of knowledge in very delicate procedures. So what are oculoplastics? We know it’s a mouthful to say, but it’s basically a range of procedures that focus on the anatomy of and surrounding the eye and the facial regions surrounding the eye. Because Dr. Kanyinda specializes in oculoplastics, he has training beyond ophthalmology certification to include specialized training in surgeries of the orbital regions surrounding the eye. You can be sure that during your consultation, that your questions will be answered and that any facial enhancements will include the very latest technology, procedures and products.
#2 Make sure your surgeon is board-certified and has specialized training in the type of procedure you’re seeking.
There are lots of facilities that provide facial rejuvenation and products to enhance skin appearance, but if you are considering a cosmetic surgery, it’s important that your surgeon have the proper qualifications, certifications and experience. Dr. Kanyinda is a fellowship trained Oculoplastic surgeon and has done countless cosmetic procedures around the face and eyes. Make sure you ask if they’re certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the gold standard for ensuring you have found a qualified surgeon. Your surgeon will fully expect you to inquire about how many procedures they have completed as well.
#3 Ask people you know that have had the same procedure.
Reach out to friends, family and look online for people who have already had the same procedure. They can give you the down-low on their experience, recovery and how satisfied they are with their outcome. They can also refer you to professionals they chose and the process they used to make their decision.
#4 Check out reviews online and be thorough.
There are tons of sites where you can find testimonials of those who have had virtually any type of plastic surgery, facial procedure or enhancement. Be sure to read through all of them so you get a good, honest report on what people are saying about your prospective doctor. A simple search on Google is always a good starting point. There are also tons of Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to the exact procedure or enhancement you’re considering. Remember the more information you seek out, the easier it will be to make your decision the right one when the time comes.
#5 Write down all your questions before your consultation.
It happens every time. You think of a million questions while you’re doing your research, but as soon as you sit down in front of a doctor, all the questions go out the window. That’s why when you’re looking for information on any facial procedure or technology, keep a notepad handy and write down any questions you have. Bring it with you to your consultation so you can get all of them answered.
