Is Your Surgeon Really Qualified?

When you are considering having surgery, one of the most important factors you should consider is whether your surgeon is trained and board certified.    Unfortunately, in Utah there are many Doctors who advertise that they prform the full array of cosmetic surgeries such as breast augentations, tummy tucks, facelifts, etc. and assert that they are board certified.    And they are board certified, but not in cosmetic surgery.   Many of these  Doctors are board certified in Oral surgery, Family Practice medicine, Internal medicine, or Emergency Medicine.   They have taken a short course in liposuction, or other techniques and now advertise that they are qualified and certified to perform these procedures.   Before having any surgery, just make sure that your Doctor  has the training and experience to handle any complications or problems that may occur.   No one ever expects to have a problem, but they do rarely happen.   And when they do it's comforting to know that your Doc is fully trained and experienced in how to get you through it.
