Questions to ask your surgeon

We have developed a checklist for you to use in your consultation when you find a suitable specialist surgeon. 

Are you a FRACS and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons? 

Are you a specialist surgeon trained specifically in the field of cosmetic surgery? 

How many years of surgical experience have you had? 

How many similar procedures have you done? 

Am I a good candidate for this procedure? 

Do you have hospital privileges to perform this procedure? If so, where will it take place? 

Is the facility you plan to use an accredited facility? 

What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure? 

How will you manage any complications and my after care? 

What are my options if I am not happy with the outcome of my surgery? 

Do you have before and after photos that I can look at for each procedure and what results are reasonable for me?
