Why is the right specialist for your cosmetic surgery so important?
Deciding to have cosmetic surgery is a big step, comparable to choosing a life partner or investing in real estate. When it comes to improving your appearance, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial. Although many doctor make promises as “cosmetic surgeons”, not all of them have the necessary qualifications. Did you know that theoretically any doctor can perform cosmetic surgery and can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon? To achieve your aesthetic goals in safe hands, it is important to verify your doctor’s background and qualifications.
In this blog, I will share six compelling reasons why you should choose qualified specialists. This is not just a suggestion, but a truly crucial step to maximize the success of your cosmetic surgery.
They receive comprehensive training
When you choose a medical specialist, you are generally relying on a highly qualified expert. Further training to become board-certified in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery includes extensive practical experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
At REDEKER AESTHETICS I am 100% committed to excellence. I am a board-certified plastic surgeon with 6 years of dedicated plastic surgery training. In addition to the minimum 2 years required for board certification, I was privileged to received an additional 4 years of specialty training, including two years dedicated exclusively to cosmetic surgery and non-surgical procedures.
They go through rigorous testing
Board certification is demanding. Candidates must first pass a written exam and then a comprehensive oral exam that assesses knowledge, professional ethics and safe handling of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. These evaluations are designed to demonstrate a surgeon’s understanding and expertise. I have successfully passed the German and European specialist examinations (EBOPRAS). The trust my patients place in me is based on my competence and my pursuit of excellence.
They are constantly expanding their knowledge
Board-certified plastic surgeons are obliged to undertake lifelong training in their field of expertise. In addition to studying medicine and further training as a medical specialist, plastic surgeons in Switzerland adhere to the standards of the Swiss Society for Plastic Surgery and the FMH (Swiss Medical Association). In order to maintain this respected status, I actively participate in subject-specific continuing education events such as seminars and courses. However, my commitment often goes beyond meeting requirements and reflects the desire to stay up to date in the constantly evolving field.
Through continuous training, I ensure that I am familiar with the latest developments, innovative techniques and state-of-the-art technologies. It requires a commitment to keeping up with new trends, incorporating the latest research, and refining techniques through lifelong learning.
They understand aesthetic appeal
We need to think of plastic surgeons as physicians and artists. Plastic surgery, characterized by its unique focus on aesthetics and art, is different from other surgical disciplines. As part of their continuing education, plastic surgeons learn the importance of aesthetics – art and science. This allows us to develop a trained eye for aesthetic proportions and to recommend tailor-made procedures for each patient.
When you choose a board-certified plastic surgeon, especially one with years of expertise in cosmetic surgery, you are entrusting your appearance to an expert who understands the delicate balance between form and function. We specialize in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and, with a comprehensive repertoire of procedures, are therefore ideally qualified for cosmetic procedures on the face and body.
They stay loyal to marketing ethics
Some of us have heard of friends who were tempted by cheap offers and later regretted it. It is important to know that correcting failed operations often costs much more than having the operation carried out by a specialist. Plastic surgeons who want to maintain their reputation typically stay away from dubious marketing tactics. They focus on top-notch results and safety, avoiding misleading advertising and unsafe practices.
They are dedicated to patient safety
Although board-certification in plastic surgery is not required to carry out cosmetic procedures in Switzerland, specialists in plastic surgery are motivated to take the long journey towards it. Unlike some other doctors who perform cosmetic surgery without any special training and, unfortunately, sometimes without adhering to safety standards, plastic surgeons undergo a highly selective, long training course where they treat complications and solve difficult cases when other specialties have reached their limits are – plastic surgeons are surgeon’s surgeons.
The job requires a strong commitment to maintaining the highest standards of patient safety. Specialist recognition is a clear signal of the desire and commitment of a plastic surgeon and demonstrates not only the ability to professionally manage complications but also a continuous striving to improve surgical procedures.
Trust in competence
If you decide to have surgery, you are placing your trust in the hands of the surgeon you choose. Surgical experience, technical skills and an eye for aesthetics are crucial factors. When you choose me, you are choosing a specialist with: comprehensive competence, proven specialist knowledge through strict examinations, commitment to further training, aesthetic expertise, and a great commitment to first-class care.
