A Board Certified Oklahoma City Plastic Surgeon
The popularity of cosmetic surgery in Oklahoma is soaring. More and more Oklahoma City plastic surgeons are trying to meet that demand. Many physicians claim to be plastic or cosmetic surgeons—Oklahoma patients have the right to make sure their doctor is properly trained and certified, characteristics which are of paramount importance.
“With ever-increasing numbers of providers offering plastic and cosmetic surgery in OKC, it can be easy for the public to be confused about a doctor’s qualifications, and the impact it can have on their safety,” said Oklahoma board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tim R. Love, M.D.
Dr. Love is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the foremost authority on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery in Oklahoma. Dr. Love is one of the few board certified plastic surgeons Oklahoma City has to offer.
In addition, Dr. Tim Love has won the best plastic surgeon award from both Oklahoma Magazine and the Oklahoma Gazette numerous times.
To help those seeking plastic surgery in Oklahoma, Dr. Love has compiled a checklist to guide patients through the process of planning for cosmetic surgery:
Evaluate Yourself: Define Your Expectations to Your Cosmetic Surgeon
Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery: Verify that your surgeon has credentialed privileges at local hospitals to perform your procedure. This will help ensure that the surgeon has met the standards of Oklahoma hospitals. When looking for a qualified OKC plastic surgeon, verify your doctor is a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Love.
Ensure that Medical Facilities are Credentialed: Even if you choose a board certified plastic surgeon, Oklahoma City medical centers need to be accredited by an agency such as American Association of Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF), Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), or Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
Be Informed: Do your homework when considering cosmetic surgery. Surgeons should explain the risks, benefits, alternatives and reasoning for the proposed treatment, after which an informed consent document should be signed by the patient.
