The search for the right surgeon can be understandably confusing for patients -- with so many options, how do you know what's right? Members of The Aesthetic Society break down what it means to be an aesthetic surgeon.
The Aesthetic Society Mission Statement:
ASAPS' mission is to advance the science, art, and safe practice of aesthetic plastic surgery & cosmetic medicine through education, research, and innovation while maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct.
When considering plastic surgery, it’s crucial that you choose your surgeon carefully. Selecting your plastic surgeon is a big decision and one you need to make with confidence! But why should you choose a member of the Aesthetic Society?
Every surgeon has outcomes that are not ideal in certain cases explains Richard Baxter, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon from Mountlake Terrace, Washington. It doesn’t matter how exceptional or well- trained they are. There are just certain factors beyond our control once the surgery is completed - and everybody is going to experience those from time-to-time. It doesn’t necessarily mean your surgeon did something wrong.
