Ask These 5 Questions Before You Have Breast Augmentation
Several different practices are offering breast augmentation in Northern Indiana, 
but not every one is equal. To get great aesthetic results and an experience that is positive overall, you need to do some investigative work beforehand.
If you are interested in breast augmentation, use this list as a general outline of things to investigate.
1. Does your surgeon have specific training in breast augmentation and the versatility required to offer you multiple options?
Because skills often overlap, you might find different types of surgeons offering the same procedure. Just remember that only plastic and cosmetic surgeons receive training for breast augmentation as a primary part of their residency. Being focused on surgery of the breast gives your plastic surgeon a better understanding of the various techniques and options available.
2. Who is providing anesthesia for your breast augmentation?
This is a really important part of surgery, because anesthesia can pose a significant risk in the wrong hands. The task of administering anesthesia requires an individual who is well trained, prepared for unexpected problems, and focused on safety.
3. Who will be with you before, during, and after your surgery?
It’s common for the surgeon’s staff to oversee much of the operation and guide the patient through the process. Doing so is vital to both the success of the surgery and to the overall experience. Read about the talented supporting staff we have at Indiana Plastic Surgery.
4. Does your surgeon have hospital privileges?
To obtain hospital privileges, your plastic surgeon must be able to prove and/or demonstrate a record of training for the procedures he or she intends to perform there.
5. Is the surgical facility certified and safe?
Breast augmentation can be performed in a hospital or outpatient surgery center. To receive proper certification, specific standards must be met. Ask us about our surgical facilities in Northwest Indiana.
