How to Choose The Best Eyelid Plastic Surgeon

How to Choose The Best Eyelid Plastic Surgeon | Houston, TexasAlthough eyelid lift cosmetic surgery is considered a relatively minor surgical procedure, it is vital to choose a highly trained and experienced surgeon as the eye area is very delicate and complex.

In the hands of an expert eyelid surgeon, patients can be assured of receiving safe and effective outcomes. The plastic surgeon should possess the necessary training and skills in eyelid surgery to offer the patient predictable, aesthetically appealing results.

Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides eyelid surgery to patients in Houston, Texas, and surrounding locations.

 

Individualization

Most plastic surgery procedures can be individualized, and Dr. Hustak will carefully evaluate the patient’s unique anatomy and understand their personal aesthetic goals before developing a customized surgical plan.

The judicious Dr. Hustak uses common incisions where possible and places incisions in discreet areas to ensure that any future scarring remains minimal. At times, she may recommend minimally invasive or nonsurgical alternatives to the patient to reduce the invasiveness of the eyelid surgery.

 

Why Select an ABPS Board Certified Surgeon?

Dr. Hustak is a board certified plastic surgeon with certification from the renowned American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). This is the sole board that the American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes and it has a strict certification process.

Board certified surgeons have a minimum of two years of training exclusively in plastic surgery, invest in top-notch quality standards and best practices, follow the latest safety protocols, and pursue on-going education.

 

Plastic Surgery Training

Today, many plastic or cosmetic surgeons are licensed to practice. However, they may lack adequate experience and training in performing a certain surgery. This makes it vital for the patient to ensure that their plastic surgeon has experience and skills in performing eyelid surgery.

Patients should ideally choose a practice that specializes in various cosmetic surgery procedures. With continual advancement in eyelid surgery techniques and technologies, the patient should ensure that their surgeon is updated on the latest innovations in the field.

 

Hospital Privileges

A surgeon with hospital privileges can perform the procedure at a state-licensed, accredited, or Medicare-certified hospital or surgical facility. The surgeon can receive such privileges only with approval from a committee which determines the surgeon’s eligibility based on many factors such as their credentials, training, and expertise.

The patient should make sure that their plastic surgeon has privileges to perform the eyelid surgery at an accredited surgical center or hospital, or undertakes procedures at an accredited private surgical suite.

 

Individualization

The reliable Dr. Hustak develops a customized surgical plan for every eyelid surgery she performs. Furthermore, she engages closely with her patients to understand their unique aesthetic needs and anatomy. She uses this feedback when creating an individualized eyelid surgery plan.
