Step 1
Ask your family doctor for a referral to a plastic surgeon. She will know which cosmetic surgeons in your area are well qualified to perform brow lift surgery. Ask the doctor whom she would select if she were having the surgery.
-
Step 2
Schedule consultations with surgeons you believe are qualified to perform your brow lift surgery. Inquire about their credentials and ask to see before and after photographs of their work. Make sure that they are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
-
Step 3
Find out where the doctor did his training. Training at a world-renowned institution is something you should look for. Ask if he has had fellowship training or specialized training in the procedures of brow lift surgery.
-
Step 4
Select a doctor with whom you have a good rapport. She should be willing to answer all of your questions, tell you about the various procedures, discuss different techniques and inform you of the risks and possible complications associated with brow lift surgery.
-
Step 5
Don't select a surgeon on the basis of cost. Consider your finances when you are deciding whether to have brow lift surgery or not. Finances should not be a factor in choosing the best surgeon. Your face is not replaceable.
-
Step 6
Ignore cosmetic surgery advertising. Ads are slick come-ons meant to entice. They don't tell you anything about the doctor's skills, ability or experience.
-
Step 7
Be wary of medical offices where too many cosmetic surgeries are performed. You want a doctor who is very experienced, but you do not want to have your surgery performed in a medical mill.
