When you are buying a car you are looking at different brands with varying reputations. Perhaps you will do some research on safety statistics as well. Unfortunately, many patients seeking aesthetic treatments, do not research their physicians and they are often misinformed about the meaning of titles and qualifications. Academic titles are given for research work, not for clinical excellence.

Accredited physicians performing aesthetic treatments in Switzerland, may not have finished any speciality training in this field, which is particularly disturbing when it concerns operations.

In recent years, there have been several reports of unfavorable and adverse events following procedures performed by physicians with lacking or misleading qualifications. Many of them have not gone through plastic surgery residency and are not qualified for board certification in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

As complications can happen with any type of invasive treatment, confirming your surgeon`s certification by National and / or European Boards of Plastic Surgery serves as a warranty for the quality and rigour of their training.

​

It should be your top priority to find a board-certified plastic surgeon, who specializes in delivering your demands according to the highest safety, ethical, and quality standards.
