How do you choose the best plastic surgeon for breast augmentation or breast implant surgery?

The decision to undergo breast augmentation or breast implant surgery is a big one for many patients, and it’s important to find a plastic surgeon that is a perfect fit for you! In this post, I will discuss some key things to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon.

First and foremost, it is extremely important to choose someone to perform your procedure who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This ensures that your surgeon has undergone rigorous training, and is fully licensed and approved to perform plastic surgery. This is critical not just to maximize your chances of getting a great result, but also to ensure that your surgery is performed safely, and by someone who is extensively trained in the specific field of plastic surgery.

In addition to choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, it is also important to choose a surgeon who frequently performs breast augmentation or breast implant surgery, and consistently produces beautiful results. A good way to assess this is to explore their website and look at the “Gallery” or “Before and After” section for examples of previous patients who have had the procedures you are most interested in. Pay special attention to examples that best illustrate your goals – preferably of patients who had a similar starting appearance to you, and who got a great result that reflects how you want to look. After you have chosen a surgeon, these pictures may also be helpful to share a few of the best examples of the appearance you are hoping for with your practitioner. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Traci Temmen has performed numerous breast augmentation and implant procedures on a diverse array of patients with stunning results. She often encourages her patients to identify a few “wish pics” from the website to show her during the one-on-one consultation so she can fully understand and fulfill her patients’ desires. Some beautiful examples of past patients who chose to have their breast augmentation procedure performed by Dr. Temmen can be viewed under the “Breast Augmentation” tab of the “Before and After” section of this website.

Another key factor to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon is picking someone who makes you can communicate easily with and makes you feel listened to. Most women have lots of questions and concerns about breast augmentation, and it is important to select a surgeon who is going to take the time to fully unpack each one. Dr. Traci Temmen treats every patient like she would want a family member to be treated, and ensures that all of their fears and worries are addressed at each clinic visit. Furthermore, as a female plastic surgeon, Dr. Temmen has a unique understanding of her patients’ concerns and desires when considering a cosmetic procedure such as breast augmentation. Dr. Temmen gives compassionate care to her patients every step of the way, and makes a special effort to ensure that each and every patient feels comfortable, safe, and happy from initial consultation to post-op care.

A final factor to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation is the clinic environment. Pay attention when you go to a consultation, and make a note of the setting. Is it clean and tidy? Are the staff who greet you friendly and polite? A dirty or chaotic clinic is certainly a red flag, as is interacting with staff who are rude or poorly trained. From the moment you enter the door at Temmen Plastic Surgery for your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Temmen, you are welcomed warmly into a private boutique surgical setting that places the utmost importance on your comfort and wellbeing.
