When you decide to undergo plastic surgery, whether it’s a tummy tuck or a facelift, your journey typically begins by selecting the right surgeon. This often involves scheduling consultations with various surgeons until you find the perfect fit. In the United States, most plastic surgeons operate as solo practitioners, which means you may need to travel to find the right match.
However, there’s an alternative: multi-surgeon practices. These practices allow you to meet and consult with multiple surgeons, each with different specialties. Opting for this approach can provide several advantages.
Available Options Under One Roof
When it comes to choosing the perfect surgeon for your procedure, choosing the multi-surgeon practice gives you the ability to compare and evaluate multiple surgeons in one location. This can be especially beneficial if you are considering multiple procedures, as different surgeons specialize in different procedures.
While you may choose one surgeon for your facelift, another might be better suited for your tummy tuck or breast augmentation. Multi-specialty practices bring together plastic surgeons with different areas of expertise. Whether you need a facelift, breast augmentation, or body contouring, you’ll find specialists who collaborate to provide comprehensive care from diagnosis to recovery
Offers the Ability to See Different Styles and Results
When choosing a surgeon, the results they deliver matter. Evaluating before and after photos can help you determine if the surgeon is the right fit for you and, again, this can vary depending on the procedure you are looking for. But when you are looking at photos after photos and then doing the same at the next surgeon’s office, it can be difficult to remember what you see.
In a multi-surgeon practice, this process can be a little easier. You can look and compare the before and after photos from each surgeon to help you find the quality results you are looking for. While one surgeon may deliver amazing breast augmentation results, they don’t necessarily deliver the facial results you are looking for and vice versa.
Comfort and Collaborative Care
In a multi-speciality practice, patients can choose the plastic surgeon they are most comfortable with from a wider selection of highly trained professionals. In addition, in a multi-specialty practice, plastic surgeons collaborate to create realistic and tailored plans that address each patient’s unique needs and goals, giving you access to the best possible outcomes.
