Make sure that the PS you choose is certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and holds membership in at least one of two key medical societies including American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Take the time to inquire how many times the surgeon has actually performed the procedure you'd like to have done. Always always look at the surgeon's before and after photos.
The photos in this blog are not of me but are of a female that is one month post-op. I stumbled across these pictures during my quest for information regarding my tummy tuck. Her results are less than desirable to say the least. I don't know if her PS was "board certified" or not but just seeing her results stress the importance of knowing your PS credentials and experience.
The pictures literally made my jaw drop. As I stated before this was her one month after surgery. Since my surgery, my results haven't changed dramatically. What I see today at almost 6 weeks post-op is what I saw the day my bandages were removed for the first time. Sure, where my incision and stitches were is now a scar and it's dark and of course the swelling comes and goes but it still looks like it did the first time I saw it but healed.
I can't even imagine my reaction if I had the results the female in the photos has. I know how overwhelming seeing a incredibly good result can be for the first time but to see that, I probably would have cried.
I don't know what the area looked like before but I can see her skin is pinched and pleated. Her skin is not flat. Although she appears to be of an average weight, her result will be seen through any form fitting clothes she wears. Plus, an additional surgery will most likely be necessary for some serious revisions.
