The truth of the matter is that there is no “one size fits all” practice or surgeon. Even if you’re getting the exact same procedure as your neighbor, you may find that their surgeon may not feel like the right fit for you, and that’s okay. Plastic surgery can be a fantastic and positive experience, and potentially life-changing, so it is incredibly important not to rush the process. It’s also a very individualized experience, so what makes sense for your neighbor may not make sense for you. Experienced surgeons understand the need for comfortability and will not pressure you into making a decision or rush you into a procedure before you’re ready. Much like finding the right family doctor or personal trainer, it may take a few tries before you meet a surgeon you feel comfortable enough with to trust. Having a personal rapport with ease of communication can mean the difference between a good plastic surgery experience and a great one.
