Where's The "Plastic" In Plastic Surgery? by mike@bodyfaq.com

health insurance provider BEFORE you get the procedure.

Often times the difference between whether or not your

insurance company will cover the bill is the REASON for the

procedure. If, for example, you are having your nose

reshaped because you're unhappy with your profile -- no

deal. You're on your own. However, get that same nose job

because your doctor has diagnosed a chronic breathing

problem that results in the potentially dangerous condition

known as "Sleep Apnea" and you could end up with a new nose

courtesy of your health insurance provider!

If you are planning to visit a Plastic Surgeon, keep the

following items in mind:

Your plastic surgeon should be "Board Certified" by the

American Board of Plastic Surgery;

If your doctor will be using anesthesia then make sure that

only a licensed Anesthesiologist administers the medicine

and make sure that the facility where the procedure is being

performed is accredited by at least one of the following

organizations:

American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery

Facilities(AAAASF)

Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)

Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare

Organizations (JCAHO)

Although making sure that all of these certifications are

present is no guarantee of a trouble-free experience, NOT

having these certifications means that both the doctor

performing plastic surgery, as well as the people who run

the facility, have a serious lack of regard for your health

and well being! You should NEVER use an uncertified plastic

surgeon or facility. The risk is simply not worth it.
