Go online – The quickest and the fastest way to find cosmetic surgeons is by searching for them online. Be sure to assess their qualifications, reputation, and transparency.
Review their credentials – Once you have compiled a list of reputable cosmetic surgeons, be sure to verify their training and credentials. You can’t go wrong with highly trained and properly schooled professionals with many years of experience and success in cosmetic surgery.
Do not get overwhelmed by titles – A Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree pertains to the first level (graduation) of training needed to become a licensed physician. Doctors should have MD and Master of Surgery (MS) in their titles, too.
Another alternate qualification is the DNB (Diplomat of National Board), which is the equivalent to the MS and MD degrees in India. It is acquired after three years of undergoing residency after MBBS as long as the board recognizes the hospital. Consider doctors with a super specialty in surgery. In that case, they should have a MCh (Magister Chirurgiae) in plastic surgery. DNB is another super specialty from the National Board of Examinations.
Take a look at their certifications – The Indian National Board of Examinations (NBE) is in charge of giving board certification to qualified cosmetic surgeons. To get this, a surgeon must graduate from an accredited medical school and that he or she must have completed two years of professional experience in surgery and five years of additional residency. Moreover, the surgeon must have completed and passed comprehensive oral and written exams. The NBE provides a special exam for plastic surgeons who have completed three years of exams and specialty training.
Look at their memberships in professional medical societies in India – Make sure that the medical society is prestigious and widely recognized.
Treatments offered – The best cosmetic surgeons aim to provide the latest, innovative, proven, and most effective solutions.
