Choosing to have plastic surgery is a big decision, and choosing the right plastic surgeon is just as important as choosing the procedure itself.Before booking surgery, ask questions about your surgeon’s credentials, experience with the procedure you’re considering, where your surgery will be performed, what type of anesthesia will be used, and what you can realistically expect from your results and recovery.You should also understand the potential risks and complications, what happens if you have a concern after surgery, and who will be available to care for you during your recovery.In this video, Dr. Elisa Stein, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, discusses the questions every woman should ask before moving forward with cosmetic surgery—and why feeling comfortable, informed, and confident in your surgeon matters.Ultimately, a plastic surgery consultation shouldn’t feel like a sales appointment. It should be an opportunity to ask questions, understand your options, and decide whether surgery—and that particular surgeon—are right for you.
