How To Choose a Plastic Surgeon
Why should I choose my cosmetic surgeon carefully?
If you are considering any cosmetic surgery procedure, you need to take the time to choose a cosmetic surgeon with the experience and expertise to give you the best possible results. It is very important that you choose a qualified and highly skilled surgeon. A surgeon who has performed many cosmetic procedures, that you are contemplating, will have had more time to perfect his technique.
What type of accreditation should my cosmetic surgeon have?
Dr. Chhatre is a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). These are two prestigious professional organizations within the plastic surgery community. Both these societies have strict criteria for their membership, and they require their members to be ethical and to remain current in the field of plastic surgery.

Can I ask to look at pictures of other patients?
Yes, and you should. Pictures of other cosmetic surgery patients are a good way to see a surgeon's work. At Summit Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we will show you numerous before and after pictures of the cosmetic procedure, you are contemplating, so that you can get a good idea of the type of results to expect.
What kind of experience should my cosmetic surgeon have?
If you are considering multiple procedures, look for a cosmetic surgeon who is experienced in a variety of cosmetic procedures. If you are only considering one procedure, then a variety of experience is less important than significant experience doing the procedure you are considering. No matter which, you should select a cosmetic surgeon with a proven track record of safety and results. Dr. Chhatre has decades of experience and, unlike other cosmetic surgeons, doesn’t rush into "fads," but waits to see if a procedure is safe and effective before incorporating it into his practice. This is the care you deserve.
Is there anything else I should look for?
Yes – a dedication to personal care. Your cosmetic surgeon should not just be interested in appearances, but in your safety, health and well being. At Summit Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we are committed to giving you our full attention and providing you with lasting care at a reasonable price.
