Choosing A Surgeon

Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery

When considering Facial Plastic Cosmetic Surgery, you may wonder where to begin and what the first step should be. Choosing the right surgeon is step one. You want to do your research in order to discern between an experienced and highly skilled cosmetic surgeon and one that is less so. We recommend that you look for a surgeon who specializes in the procedure that you’re interested in. You also want to ensure that the surgeon you choose is one that you can communicate well with, who will listen to your specific goals and who will make you feel at ease. Selecting a cosmetic surgeon who does not have the experience or the expertise to deliver the best possible results could result in you being dissatisfied or perhaps with structural issues that may need a second surgery to correct. Having confidence in your surgeon will also help reduce your level of anxiety at a time when you are going through what can be a life changing procedure.

Dr. Solomon is widely recognized as an industry leader in Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery in Canada; having performed thousands of procedures. If you are seeking the guidelines for choosing a surgeon, it is important to remember several key things. To begin with, in Canada, a surgeon should hold the credential ‘FRCSC’ meaning they are fully certified by the Royal College of Surgeons. In addition, the surgeon should be either certified as a plastic surgeon, a facial plastic surgeon, an otolaryngologist head and neck surgeon, or an oculoplastic surgeon.

Plastic Surgery

The above surgical specialties all have extensive training in plastic surgery. While general plastic surgeons have training in plastic surgery throughout the body, the other subspecialty groups have plastic surgical training specific to their areas of expertise. As it pertains to facial plastic surgeons specifically, they should have completed certification by ABFPRS. More in-depth than these general accreditations, a Facial Plastic Surgeon will have intensive and specialized training in specific areas and it is wise to seek a surgeon who specializes in the procedure you are interested in.

Cosmetic Dermatologists

Cosmetic dermatologists perform many cosmetic enhancements like Botox and fillers. Some sub-specialist dermatologic surgeons have completed extra training and may perform certain surgical procedures as well. Maxillofacial surgeons are trained as dentists first then go onto further training. This group performs surgery on the jaw and related structures.

Choosing A SurgeonCredentials will ensure that the surgeon has completed adequate training in surgery but does not ensure skill, experience, or artistic sense of the surgeon. For example a surgeon who does many breast augmentations, may not perform rhinoplasty surgery or facelift procedures on a regular basis and so will be less experienced in that area.

There are reasonable criteria to outline whether a surgeon has the experience to perform a procedure on you. Any surgeon should perform a minimum of 25 of a given procedure each year. For complicated procedures like rhinoplasty it may be best if the surgeons perform a minimum of 100 procedures a year. This will ensure that the surgeon has an interest and significant experience with a given procedure.

Choosing An Experienced Surgeon

Any good surgeon will be more than willing to showcase their artistic skill and mastery and should be able to and willing to show you examples of his or her work. A surgeon who has no examples of their own work should be avoided.

Ensure that the surgeon practices in an institution that is either a hospital or an accredited surgical facility. A well-respected surgeon will most likely have hospital privileges and is a recognized specialist in the medical community. For complex procedures, it’s best to choose a surgeon who has extensive experience. While all surgeons are generally well trained after leaving residency, often surgeon’s skills for more complex procedures improve within the first few years of practice.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery

As a patient considering Facial Cosmetic Surgery, you probably have one or more areas of your face that you would like to address. The first thing we do with any of our patients, is sit down with them for a consultation to ensure that any concerns and questions are addressed. Some patients may wish to address the shape, size or design of their nose, deep folds of the face, or perhaps signs of aging in the face. Any time that an element of your face undergoes a change, this affects the way that the rest of your face appears. This is true as we age but also true when Facial Cosmetic Surgery creates permanent changes in the face. In order to ensure that any type of surgical intervention does not create a major, unwanted change in the look of your face, we will always take the time for a detailed consultation. Via through this detailed, pre-surgical discussion, we can make a proper diagnosis and provide you with the appropriate options you can use to choose from. In some cases, goals may be achievable through minimal incisions and scars.

It is important to us that we ensure a patient is given realistic expectations for the kind of work that can be performed as well. With regard to rhinoplasty nose surgery, there are many shapes and sizes – each one as unique as the next and each one that needs to be considered on its own terms. The ideal nose surgery will maintain or improve the flow of air through the nose, and create a shape that blends with the rest of the face and complements the other elements present. A major part of our practice has been the evaluation of different procedures, analyzing their effectiveness and ensuring that all of our patients are provided with the most long-lasting, dependable and predictable results.

It may take many months and possibly up to one year for the full scope of the results of your surgery to become clear. This is related to the underlying three-dimensional structure that needs to balance itself with the other elements of your face. No one approach is right for every patient. Facial cosmetic surgery is very much about a unique approach according to the needs and anatomy of each individual. Any procedure must be carefully planned with respect to the balance and proportion of all elements of the face. The results of a nose surgery in Toronto, with the right cosmetic surgeon, can be transformative, providing you with a facial appearance that you’ve always wanted and resolving any functional issues you may have had.
