FAQ

1.    How do I know who the right doctor is for me? Is the doctor board certified? In what field? – “How do I study a doctor’s profile”?

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is necessary as even a slight mistake can prove devastating for people. Hence, one must probe into the credentials of a doctor or surgeon before opting for one.

First and foremost, research whether the doctor has the necessary education and specialization or not. The chosen surgeon should have an MBBS, Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) from an accredited medical school. If he or she has finished fellowship programs from universities of International stature, it would be an added advantage. In addition, the doctor should have prior certification from the Medical Council of India (MCI).

After considering the educational details, one should lay proper emphasis on the experience of the surgeon- how long the surgeon has been working for.  Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon in India is a wise decision to make as he or she will be able to deal with even the most complicated patient cases ever.

Having said that, evaluating the surgeon's capability entirely on the experience is not fair.

Hence, one needs to pay heed to the performance rate of the surgeon; how many successful surgeries he or she has managed to pull off? How well he or she handled the patient as well as the family members? How compassionate was he or she?

One needs to go through the patient testimonies and reviews or contact them personally to know such details. The feedback given by the previously treated patients will help one assess the quality of the doctor from a convex perspective, and the decision of choosing a particular health professional will not just depend on the word of mouth recommendations.

Medmonks can help patients choose the best plastic surgeon in India that suits their requirements and budget in toto.

2.    What is the difference between a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon?

Though dermatologists and plastic surgeons both treat the same disorders and perform liposuction as well as cosmetic repairs on skin damaged by age, disease or exposure to Sun's Ultraviolet rays, both the disciplines are quite different in their focus.

Illnesses that are not life-threatening like chronic acne, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases and autoimmune disorders come under the domain of dermatologists. They primarily target conditions related to hair, nails, skin and mucous membranes. Though mostly, dermatologist treats a majority of patients with the help of drugs, medications and other non-surgical therapies, they also perform surgeries.

Plastic surgeons, on the other hand, provide cosmetic methods including liposuction and breast augmentation to patients. They also employ surgical intervention techniques to cure burns, correct birth defects, or repair injuries to the face or extremities.
