How to choose a plastic surgeon in Dubai
When considering plastic surgery of any kind, one of the most important decisions you will make is which surgeon to use. By selecting the right surgeon, you will have the highest chance of achieving your desired results as well as experiencing great service and aftercare, making sure you are as comfortable as you can be during the entire process. If you do not, we have all heard the stories of botched surgeries and the consequences they can lead to. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of things to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon in Dubai to help you make your decision.
Qualifications
When searching for a plastic surgeon in Dubai, there seems to be an endless supply. It’s ok to ask your surgeon why he has qualified from. Dr Maurizio Viel, for example when to the University of Milan’s medical school, completed a fellowship in London and worked in the UK for 20 years before moving to Dubai.
Experience
Once you are satisfied with the level of qualifications your surgeon has, you then need to investigate how much experience they have, especially for your chosen procedure. A well-trained and experienced surgeon will blend their years of training with their years of experience, ensuring they perform your surgery to the highest standards. They can also easily navigate their way through any issues that may arise during the process, giving you peace of mind. A well experienced surgeon will also give you the best chance of achieving your desired results.
Ask questions
When you have narrowed down your search and found a surgeon you believe is the best fit for your needs, you will then need to book a consultation. This is actually a very important part of the process. You should take note of not only the time, care, and attention given to you at your consultation, as this will tell you a lot about your surgeon, but also how comfortable you are with him or her. You will likely have a lot of questions of your own that you wish to ask; however, we have added a few key questions to ensure you cover the basics:
It is also important to ensure you make your surgeon aware of any medical conditions you have or medications you are currently taking.
Clinic and staff
Another helpful hint is to pay attention not only to how you feel about your surgeon, but also how the rest of the staff treat you. During the process, you will need to communicate with various other members of staff, including receptionists and nurses, as they will be booking your future appointments and supporting you throughout your recovery. It is therefore a good idea to be aware of how comfortable you are with everyone at the clinic to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Cost
When it comes to the cost of your chosen procedure, always remember, you get what you pay for. Cheaper is not necessarily better, especially when it comes to surgery. Patients often get enticed by deals that might seem good value initially but end up costing considerably more when the desired outcome is not achieved or even worse there are complications that require further treatment and surgery. The best possible treatment requires the best surgeons, and for that you should expect to pay premium prices.
Recommendations
Our final tip on finding the right plastic surgeon in Dubai is to speak to people who have already undergone your chosen procedure successfully and ask them to recommend their surgeon. If you have conducted your research online and found a surgeon you are happy with, ask the clinic for testimonials from patients who have already undergone successful surgery and whether you might be able to speak to any of them. This will also help bring peace of mind.
