Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon
How To Choose A Plastic Surgeon Sydney
Choosing a highly qualified plastic surgeon you feel is suitable is an extremely personal decision and should not be taken lightly.
On this page, you’ll find information about what to consider when deciding on a plastic surgeon, what qualifications and titles to look for, what questions to ask during your consultation with a plastic surgeon and more.
Credentials & Qualifications
All qualified plastic surgeons that are members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) have been certified by The Royal Australiasian College of Surgeons (RACS). This means that these surgeons have completed specialist surgical training in plastic surgery (both cosmetic and reconstructive) and strictly only operate in accredited medical facilities.
Furthermore, these surgeons comply with a strict code of ethics to ensure ultimate patient well-being which includes ensuring patients have a 10 day “cooling-off” period before deciding to move ahead with the surgery.
In addition to being a certified member of the ASPS, Dr Johnny Kwei is also a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (FRACS), a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) and currently holds the position of Honorary Secretary of the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).
Initial Consultations
The initial consultation can be a super exciting moment for patients that are new to transformations and are beginning their cosmetic journey, however, it’s not something to consider lightly and should be taken seriously.
During your initial consultation, you will be allowed time to share your desired goals; perhaps some pictures of what you’d like to achieve, as well as ask Dr Johnny Kwei any questions about the surgery, the risks, the alternative options, and anything else you’d like to know about him.
Dr Kwei will then take the time to listen to all of your goals and also establish if his surgical skills can achieve the results you wish to achieve. For example, if you are seeking breast augmentation, you will be given the chance to touch, feel and hold breast implants of different shapes and sizes to establish which ones might achieve your desired results and which you prefer. He will then answer any questions you may have and encourage you to do some research on his website, where required.
Dr Kwei or his experienced team may also require some background medical information to gauge more of an understanding of your candidacy for the surgery.
