    question

    What are the top three things I need to ask my cosmetic surgeon when considering a procedure?


    answer

    "You'll want to ask questions that give you clarity on the procedures and comfort in the surgeon's experience and knowledge," says Robert M. Schwarcz M.D., leading facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City.

    1. Roughly how many of these procedures have you done in the last two years?

    2. Is there anything I should be aware of after the surgery so there are no surprises such as redness, scarring, pain?

    3. What is the healing process?
