Board certified breast augmentation doctors

When searching for breast surgeons, it is best to look for those who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). A recognized specialty board of the American Board for Medical Specialties (ABMS), ABPS requires certified breast surgeons to have earned a degree from a reputable medical school, to have completed a five-year residency, to have obtained additional surgical training specific to the plastic surgery field, and to continue to meet a standard of ethics. Also, ABPS will only certify breast implant doctors and other cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons whose practices focus primarily on plastic surgery. Dr. Mark Schusterman is Double Certified Board Certified in Plastic Surgery and Board Certified in General Surgery.

Find a breast augmentation doctor

During the consultation, you will be able to talk to Dr. Schusterman or Dr. Hsu about the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. They will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, and its risks and limitations as well as the kind of anesthesia required. Dr. Schusterman or Dr. Hsu will begin with a physical examination to evaluate your overall weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the pattern of distribution of fat deposits. They will also record your medical history, including any medications that you are currently taking. Be sure to ask all the questions you have about the procedure. Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision.
