When done well, facial plastic surgery is a life-changing procedure that frees you from long-held insecurities and allows you to enjoy a more confident life. But how do you ensure you will achieve good results? To find a surgeon with the skill and abilities to help you achieve your goals, we recommend a facial plastic surgeon trained to address these unique concerns.
What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?
A facial plastic surgeon is a medical doctor who has completed four years of medical school, followed by five or more years of residency and additional training, such as fellowships. They may also participate in research or teach future plastic surgeons in training. In general, facial plastic surgeons specialize in facial plastic surgery, head and neck surgery, or other fields where they intensively study the anatomy and treatment of facial features.
Benefits of Choosing a Facial Plastic Surgeon For Face Surgery
As with almost anything else, choosing a specialist is often the most effective way to achieve your desired results. A facial plastic surgeon specializes in the areas you want to treat. In general, they specialize in facial procedures, unlike general plastic surgeons who may perform face and body procedures.
Skill and Experience
You should feel free to ask about your surgeon’s education and credentials. Dr. Stein has studied at Duke University and the University of California and specialized in facial plastic surgery through the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Advanced Techniques
Facial plastic surgeons like Dr. Stein are more likely to use the field’s most advanced techniques and surgical strategies, including endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures. Those who do not specialize in this field are less likely to be aware of the newest treatment options.
Specialization
Dr. Stein is completely dedicated to plastic surgery for facial enhancement. As a result, he has performed thousands of facial procedures, including over 100 facelifts alone every year. This narrow specialization ensures he has more expertise in these procedures than a more general plastic surgeon.
How to Find a Good Facial Plastic Surgeon
While checking your surgeon’s credentials and background is important, there are several other factors to consider.
Team and Facility
With a state-of-the-art surgical facility accredited by the AAAASF to meet safety and many other standards. Dr. Stein’s team also consists of specialists in facial plastic surgery who are committed to providing you with a superior experience.
Results and Reviews
A facial plastic surgeon who is proud of their work will make their results, such as before-and-after images and reviews, easy for you to access and explore. If people report having an excellent experience and the results align with your own goals, this surgeon may be right for you.
Your Comfort Level
All the research in the world will not matter if you do not feel comfortable with your facial plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon should put you at ease and make you feel understood and in good hands.
