6 Things to Look for in a Plastic Surgery Practice
Thinking about plastic surgery? Choosing the right practice matters. You deserve expert care, guidance throughout the process and results that feel like you. Here’s a simple checklist to help you get started.
1. Board-certified surgeons.
Your surgeon should be board-certified in plastic surgery. This means they’ve completed rigorous training and meet high standards for safety and skill. At Plastic + Hand Surgical Associates, all surgeons are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
2. Experience and training.
Look for a team with deep experience. Our surgeons have trained at some of the top medical centers in the U.S., and as part of the largest and most trusted plastic surgery center in Northern New England, have successfully completed the most cosmetic procedures and reconstructive procedures in the region.
3. Comprehensive procedure options.
The right practice offers a full range of services tailored to your goals. That may include facial procedures, body contouring, skin cancer removal, hand surgery and nonsurgical treatments like injectables.
4. Accredited surgical facility.
Safety matters. Accredited surgical centers meet strict standards for equipment, staffing and care. The Surgery Center at Plastic + Hand is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory HealthCare, Inc. It’s also Medicare-certified and licensed by the State of Maine.
5. Clear consultation process.
Your consultation should feel informative – not rushed. You’ll have time to ask questions, share your goals and understand your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
6. Support and communication.
You should feel supported every step of the way. From your first call through recovery, clear communication and a responsive team help you feel confident in your care.
