It is important for patients to choose the right surgeon for their tummy tuck cosmetic surgery (abdominoplasty).
While this is a relatively safe procedure, it does involve some inherent risks, similar to any surgical procedure. Therefore, the patient should choose a surgeon with a proven record of safety and successful results.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel H. Lin of Shine Cosmetic Surgery provides tummy tuck to patients in West Covina, Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Chino, Rowland Heights, Baldwin Park, Whittier, Brea, Arcadia, Pasadena, Diamond Bar and surrounding areas in California.
Selecting the Right Surgeon
The outcomes of the tummy tuck will last for many years to come. Therefore, the patient should take time to identify a surgeon who will provide them with their desired look. It may seem like a confusing task to choose the right surgeon with so many doctors offering tummy tuck surgery. But some things can make it easier for a patient to make the best decision.
The patient should consider a surgeon who has undertaken numerous tummy tuck cosmetic surgery procedures before, and has a record of producing excellent outcomes.
Many plastic surgeons may have a good reputation for specific procedures but no practical knowledge of tummy tuck surgery. Such surgeons are likely not a suitable choice for a patient seeking abdominoplasty.
It is beneficial for the patient to choose a surgeon with training in managing surgical complications. The likelihood of the development of such complications is low. However, choosing a surgeon with specialized training in this area will lower the risks even more.
On the other hand, the patient should evaluate whether the surgeon in question has a clean record. Potential patients have a right to receive all relevant details from each state medical board.

Certifications and Affiliations
While any licensed surgeon can technically perform tummy tuck surgery, not all doctors specialize in this procedure. For instance, a patient would not want a podiatrist undertaking their plastic surgery.
It is advisable for patients to always choose a board certified plastic surgeon for safe and beautiful results. Doctors can only receive this prestigious certification after dedicated training in plastic surgery. Furthermore, doctors must pursue continuing education to hold on to their board certification.
A majority of surgeons have images of past procedures available on their practice website or in the office. Patients should view these images carefully and assess whether the outcomes appear satisfactory.
Bedside Manner
Patients working with a friendly doctor who makes them feel at ease are more likely to be satisfied with the final outcomes of their tummy tuck surgery.
Therefore, the patient should ideally choose a doctor who is willing to spend time with them, answer their questions in detail, and develop a customized surgical plan. At the same time, they should try to avoid a surgeon who puts pressure on them to receive more treatment than they actually need or want.
