Significance of a Board Certification
While choosing a plastic surgeon, one of the first things a patient should check is whether the surgeon holds a board certification in plastic surgery, and if yes, from which board. The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the most authoritative and premier board in the country with highly demanding standards of excellence from its members.
To be certified by the ABPS, the surgeon should have received minimum three to five years of medical training, including at least two years of dedicated training in plastic surgery. To maintain the board certified status with the ABPS in the long run, the surgeon will have to pursue ongoing training and clear new exams periodically.
This rigorous process ensures that the surgeon stays fully updated with the latest knowledge and techniques in the field of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Kaufman receives patients from Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Cleveland, OH, and nearby areas for various surgical procedures of the breast, body, and face.
Surgical Experience
A plastic surgeon with wide-ranging experience in the field would be able to address the subtle nuances in every procedure that can make the difference between good and great results. Experienced surgeons are able to customize procedures to suit the unique needs of the patient, and introduce innovations to make the procedures less painful, less complicated and involving a faster recovery.
In a rare emergency situation that may arise during or after a cosmetic procedure, the surgeon’s experience will come into play. Highly experienced surgeons are better equipped to handle surprises or unexpected scenarios and emergencies. They usually have hospital privileges to treat the patient in a safe and medically advanced facility.
Personal Rapport
Any cosmetic surgery procedure is a personal journey for the patient. To achieve complete satisfaction throughout the procedure, the patient should feel comfortable with the surgeon and be able to place full trust in their capabilities. The surgeon’s ability to communicate, reassure and engage in a personalized manner with the patient will make a key difference to the overall outcomes.
