How to choose the right plastic surgeon

If you are considering cosmetic surgery, it is important to weigh a few factors so you put your health in the hands of a certified specialist and have greater confidence in the result and in your well-being.

“Choosing a good, certified plastic surgeon means a safe surgery with good results.”

In Mexico there are hundreds of people who present themselves as plastic surgeons without the required training and accreditation, putting at risk not only your appearance but your health in general.

That is why I recommend that when you visit a surgeon, or are considering one, you ask every question that comes to mind so that you feel completely at ease.

• Credentials: Make sure your surgeon has a certification number and a specialist license in plastic surgery.
• Association membership: A surgeon who belongs to professional associations is one who keeps up to date. Ideally they should be registered with the National Normative Committee of Medical Specialty Boards (CONACEM) and the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER).
• Experience: A surgeon’s experience matters because it shows their command of the technique used for each procedure. You can research their background and review photographs on their website and social media.
• Get to know their clinic: It should be well established and hold the permits required to practice, in accordance with COFEPRIS.
