The amount of men and women undergoing plastic surgeries demonstrates that much thought and care is being put into their appearance.

In 2019, approximately 17 million people had undergone a cosmetic procedure in the United States. It shouldn't be much of a surprise; the results from cosmetic procedures are a much quicker alternative than diet and exercise.

Yet, as the ever-growing traffic for cosmetic surgery continues, the high demand has opened the door to many unqualified physicians entering the market to get their share of profits.

While that's reasonable, these surgeons are sometimes performing procedures without the sufficient training and practice required to provide ideal results.

That said, you must find the appropriate physician so you can enjoy safe and precise results. If you don't know how, don't worry – this article will tell you what red flags to look out for.

Check Their Credentials

The right fat transfer doctor for you is the one that has their qualifications in check. Your best pick is a certified surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, entailing that they've at least gone to 4 years of medical school and six years of residency plastic surgery training.

Read The Online Reviews

The internet is our best friend if we use it wisely. While what's said in the reviews won't always be what you'll experience, a surgeon with a high number of bad reviews is a warning sign you should not ignore.

Discounts

Plastic surgery isn't a service you pay for that should go at a discount. Lower pricing in plastic surgery generally means that the surgeon is more interested in gathering clients than ensuring a quality procedure for their patients.

Short Consultations With A Plastic Surgeon

While having at least one consultation with your plastic surgeon is an obvious step that you shouldn't miss out on doing, the consultation's length can tell you much more.

If your surgeon is continuously trying to end the consultation and avoiding questions, then that's a bad sign. Surgeons are to answer as many questions as you need to make the right decision for yourself.

No Before And After Photos

Before and after pictures will give you realistic expectations before deciding on undergoing a cosmetic procedure. If the surgeon is hesitant to demonstrate their previous work, then do not opt for their services.

What If My Fat Transfer Has Gone Wrong

In the case that you've undergone a botched fat transfer, there are methods to give you the results that you were expecting.
