While there are many things that a patient can do both in preparation and during their recovery to help ensure they get the best results possible from their abdominoplasy, the first step in having an amazing tummy tuck is to ensure that you have an amazing surgeon.
Since your relationship with your cosmetic surgeon is likely to be a long-term one, it is important that you find a surgeon that is not only highly skilled, but also one that you feel comfortable with. Here are a few tips for finding an amazing surgeon:
Certification and memberships
There are several boards and medical organizations that ensure best practices among plastivc surgeons. If you are considering working with any surgeon, do not be shy about asking him which associations he belongs to. Dr. Edelstein for example is a member of the Canadian Society for Plastic Surgery, Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to name just a few. He is also certified with The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and is a panel member for the organization’s Quality Assurance Committee. Finally, he has a Certificate of Advanced Education in Cosmetic Surgery from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Experience performing abdominoplasty
Just like other types of doctors, cosmetic surgeons have areas that they specialize in. Not every plastic surgeon is proficient in performing tummy tucks, so it’s key that you find someone who has a lot of experience and performs them on a regular basis.
Dr. Edelstein and Dr Jindal specialize in cosmetic procedures on the breasts and body and have helped hundreds of patients achieve a flatter belly through tummy tuck surgeries.
Aesthetics
Every surgeon is going to have his or her own idea about what looks most beautiful on the human body. Ideally, you need to work with a surgeon whose views in this area are similar to your own. Before your consultation, part of the process should be viewing before and after photos of patients online with body shapes and problem areas similar to yours.
Rapport
Electing to have a tummy tuck is a very personal and often emotional choice. It is therefore important that you feel very comfortable not only with the surgeon but with the clinic staff as well. A surgeon that makes you feel uncomfortable will not make for a very good experience.
