Selecting the right plastic surgeon
When considering any type of
surgery, a patient should take reasonable precautions prior to proceeding with any type of treatment. The internet is a great tool for research however information posted online can be biased and the best start towards researching a surgeon is to look up references of previous patients, as well as ensuring your selected doctor is certified as a surgeon.
In Canada all doctors must have a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC) certification to perform plastic surgery. If the doctor you’re considering is unable to claim this certification proceeding with any form of surgery could put your life in danger regardless of how appealing their offer may be. However any doctor in Canada can perform
cosmetic surgery, yet it is still wise to choose someone with experience and dedicated strictly to this vocation to ensure you receive the best care possible.
In addition to the FRCSC certification the plastic and cosmetic surgeon you’re considering should also be certified with The Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) and The Canadian Society of Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Plastic Surgeons (CSAPS). These professional organizations are the only ones recognized in Canada for specialists in plastic and cosmetic surgery. The members of these organizations follow a strict set of criteria established by CSAPS and holding such a designation ensures that your doctor holds to the highest of ethical standards in the profession.
