I Felt Confident In Him: The Importance of Selecting Your Surgeon

September 5, 2014

Dr. Sullivan and his team often stress the key features you should look for when choosing the correct surgeon for your needs. It is always important when considering cosmetic surgery that you ensure your chosen surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has a wealth of experience performing the specific type of surgery that is best for your needs. When choosing your surgeon we recommend the following:

1. We recommend asking to see before and after pictures of the surgeonâ€^™s patients who may have problems similar to yours and to see how those problems were addressed by that surgeon. It is also very important to see pictures of the incisions proposed for your treatment.
2. Another key question to ask is how many procedures similar to the procedure your surgeon has planned for you has that surgeon performed. You should always look for a surgeon with a great deal of experience and expertise in your given treatment area.
3. Another helpful barometer for selecting the right surgeon for you is to note their contributions to the field of plastic surgery. If the surgeon is highly respected in his field and is invited to teach other plastic surgeons that is an excellent sign of his/her level of expertise and ability to achieve the type of excellent results that lead other plastic surgeons to seek instruction from them.

Dr. Sullivan is board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery, by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has been honored to be invited to teach about plastic surgery at both the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual meetings last year and for numerous years before that. He is anxious to share the techniques he uses to achieve an artistically natural enhanced appearance for his patients. Further, Dr. Sullivan is also board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology (surgery of the head and neck).
