Plastic Surgery Columbus Ohio Dr. Robert Houser

Thank you for visiting Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery of Columbus, Ohio. If you are considering plastic surgery I encourage you to make your selection carefully. It is important that you feel comfortable with your surgeon, the office staff and the surgical facility. A private consultation is a good first step.

During a consultation, your prospective surgeon should carefully explain the procedure you are considering, discuss risks associated with the procedure, and talk with you about realistic results of the particular plastic surgery procedures. Costs and recovery will also be addressed. This is also a good time to look at before and after photos of patients with similar physical characteristics. You should feel comfortable asking your plastic surgeon questions about your plastic surgery procedure and you should leave the consultation feeling informed.

Before you make an appointment for a plastic surgery consultation, do some research on your surgeon’s qualifications. With the rise in popularity of procedures such as Botox, liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and breast augmentation, many doctors are performing plastic surgery. However, in Ohio, not all doctors who perform cosmetic and plastic surgery or who call themselves plastic surgeons are board certified in plastic surgery. Many only receive minimal training in plastic surgery techniques.

I urge you to consider only surgeons who are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and who are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In order to achieve board certification a surgeon must undergo rigorous comprehensive exams and complete an accredited plastic surgery residency program.

Following this, he or she is then required to maintain certification through case submissions, continuing medical education and written examinations. This rigorous process ensures that those who identify themselves as a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery are held to the highest standards of patient safety, patient satisfaction and ethical behavior.

Plastic surgery, even a minor or routine outpatient plastic surgery procedure, is a big decision. Please take your time and do your research. If I can be of any assistance, please call my Westerville / Columbus, Ohio office at 614.890.5565 to schedule a consultation appointment.

Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Houser
