Choosing the wrong plastic surgeon can turn your dream transformation into a permanent nightmare that costs you thousands in corrective procedures. Every year, countless patients suffer devastating complications, unsatisfactory results, and emotional trauma from placing their trust in unqualified hands.
These consequences occur when doctors without proper training and experience lack both surgical expertise and clinical judgment, which can lead to devastating cosmetic and even health-threatening results.
The right plastic surgeon can transform your life, boost your confidence, and deliver the natural-looking results you deserve. By asking these seven critical questions, you will protect yourself from costly mistakes and ensure your journey to transformation is safe, successful, and satisfying.
When researching plastic surgeons, qualifications and experience should be your primary concern. You want a surgeon who has undergone extensive training specifically in plastic surgery procedures. Look for surgeons who have completed comprehensive residency programs and possess specialized expertise in the procedures you are considering.
Dr. Javad Sajan is one of only five physicians in the U.S. to be awarded the prestigious CORE Grant in 2011. Dr. Sajan created the Advanced Facial Simulator. It is the only validated facial simulator in the world, where surgeons are using it to teach and practice cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. As featured on The Plastic Surgeon Podcast, Dr. Sajan shares insights into the real stories behind plastic surgery patients and providers, understanding the intentions, motivations, and stories behind the variety of people who undergo plastic surgery every year.
This question eliminates pretenders immediately. You want a surgeon who specializes in your desired procedure and performs it regularly. Ask about their surgical training, how many years they have been practicing, and how many times they have performed your specific procedure.

View Dr. Sajan's patient reviews to see real results from actual patients. His consistently high ratings and patient testimonials speak to his expertise and dedication to achieving natural, beautiful outcomes.
Safety should never be compromised. Ensure your surgeon operates in an accredited facility that meets strict safety standards. Ask about their hospital privileges and what emergency protocols are in place.
Dr. Sajan performs surgeries at his state-of-the-art facility in Seattle, Washington, which is accredited by the Washington Department of Health, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care for all patients.
An honest surgeon discusses both benefits and risks openly. Understanding potential complications helps you make an informed decision and prepare properly for recovery. Ask about common complications, how they are handled, and what measures are taken to minimize risks.
Comprehensive aftercare distinguishes excellent surgeons from average ones. Dr. Sajan is on call 24/7 after your procedure. The practice provides supportive, high-quality post-op garments in three stages to enhance comfort and results throughout your healing journey, and offers optional ultrasonic lymphatic massage to speed up healing and reduce swelling.
Understanding revision policies before surgery prevents future conflicts. Reputable surgeons stand behind their work and have clear policies regarding touch-ups or corrections if needed. Ask about costs, timeframes, and what circumstances qualify for revision procedures.
Speaking with previous patients provides invaluable insights into the surgeon's bedside manner, surgical skills, and overall patient experience. Review online testimonials and ask if you can connect with former patients who had similar procedures.
