Cosmetic Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

Chances are that, if you are currently considering cosmetic surgery, you have a number of questions. The following are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic surgery by potential patients. For answers to your specific questions, please contact Dr. Joseph Fodero at Northeastern Plastic Surgery in New Jersey today.

How do I choose the right cosmetic surgeon?

It is important that you ask many questions of your prospective cosmetic surgeon, including questions about his or her educational and professional background, practice philosophy, rates of success, and professional affiliations. A reputable plastic surgeon such as Dr. Fodero will always have answers at the ready (for example, Dr. Fodero always informs potential rhinoplasty patients that less than 5 percent of his nose surgery patients require secondary rhinoplasty surgery, one of the lowest percentages in the nation). Also, be sure to ask to view before-and-after photos of actual plastic surgery patients.

How much does cosmetic surgery cost?

If you have been researching cosmetic surgery on the Internet, you have probably noticed that most plastic surgeons don’t publish prices on their websites. This is because no established surgeon will commit to a price before meeting with patients in confidential consultations. While most cosmetic surgery procedures do cost in the thousands of dollars and are not covered by insurance, many practices offer cosmetic surgery financing options to their patients.

Will my results look natural?

This depends on both the surgical skill and artistic eye of the surgeon you select to perform your surgery. Cosmetic surgery procedures such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast lift, breast reduction, and facelift can look either extremely natural or extremely unnatural, so you will want to choose your surgeon very carefully. A cosmetic surgeon such as Dr. Fodero combines years of experience with the creativity and knowledge necessary to combine and customize procedures into treatment plans wholly tailored to the individual patient.

At his cosmetic surgery practice in New Jersey, Dr. Fodero is always pleased to speak with potential patients about their options and to evaluate their cases.
