How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon: 7 Must-Know Tips Before Your Procedure

Selecting the right plastic surgeon is the most important part of your aesthetic journey. The right surgeon ensures safety, beautiful results, and long-term satisfaction. At Epic Plastic Surgery, we encourage patients to educate themselves before moving forward with any procedure.

Here are 7 essential tips every patient must know.

1. Verify Board Certification

Always choose a surgeon certified by:

  • American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)
  • Or equivalent internationally recognized boards

This ensures your surgeon has specialized training, advanced surgical skills, and strict ethical standards.

2. Review Before-and-After Photos

Look for:

  • Consistent, natural results
  • Work on patients with similar facial or body features
  • High-quality, non-edited photos

A skilled surgeon shows balanced, realistic results — not overly edited transformations.

3. Research the Surgeon’s Experience

Experience is crucial. Ask:

  • How many years have they performed this surgery?
  • How many procedures have they done?
  • Do they specialize in your specific treatment?

Epic Plastic Surgery focuses on refined techniques and personalized treatment plans.

4. Read Patient Reviews

Authentic reviews on Google and RealSelf reveal:

  • Overall patient satisfaction
  • Facility cleanliness
  • Communication quality
  • Post-care support

Consistent positive feedback is a strong indicator of trustworthiness.

5. Evaluate Consultation Experience

Your consultation should feel:

  • Comfortable
  • Informative
  • Transparent

A good surgeon explains risks, expectations, and alternatives — not just benefits.

6. Ensure the Facility Is Accredited

Your safety depends on where the surgery takes place. Check for:

  • State licensing
  • AAAASF, AAAHC, or JCAHO accreditation
  • Emergency readiness

Epic Plastic Surgery operates in a state-licensed Miami surgical facility designed for privacy, comfort, and safety.

7. Trust Your Instincts

Beyond qualifications, trust your intuition.

A great plastic surgeon should:

  • Listen to your goals
  • Respect your vision
  • Provide honest guidance
  • Make you feel confident

If something doesn’t feel right — explore other options.
