When looking for a surgeon to perform your facelift, cost is certainly a major factor. However, unlike many other financial transactions, this is not a decision that you want to make based on a coupon or a last-minute deal. Saving a few dollars in the short run is no comparison for finding an experienced physician with whom you feel completely comfortable.

Things to Keep in Mind When Pricing a Facelift in Scottsdale/Phoenix

One of the most important things to remember when considering the cost of a facelift in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area is that you are talking about a medical procedure. Since each facelift is a highly unique process that must be specifically tailored to the individual’s needs and expressed wishes, no two facelifts are alike. As such, it is nearly impossible to give an accurate price over the phone, or establish a one-size-fits-all price list on a website. This is a transaction that is completely different than any normal purchase like buying a new car, in which the item in question is easily appraisable, costs the same amount for every buyer, and can be purchased from any supplier.

In addition, it is important to consider the most useful indicator of a good plastic surgeon: patient reviews. By listening to patients describe their experiences in their own words, you can get a powerful sense of what could await you. This is an excellent way to determine if a surgeon or procedure is right for you, because past patients may mention specific questions or concerns that you yourself are feeling, and their testimonies may provide the answers. Dr. Henderson has had several such patients who are eager to share their experiences with others, and have agreed to do so on the Testimonies page.

The Value of a Good Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale/Phoenix

One of the most valuable qualifications any plastic surgeon possesses is experience. When you decide to try a new procedure for the first time, you want your surgeon to be deeply experienced in the ins and outs of that process, so that they can give you the personal attention to detail that you are looking for. To this end, Dr. Henderson only offers surgical procedures with which she has extensive experience, ensuring that her patients will be safe, well cared-for, and delighted with their results.

In addition to choosing a surgeon who has plenty of experience with the procedure you are interested in, it is absolutely crucial that your plastic surgeon be board certified in plastic surgery. There are many ways to offer interested patients services without a board certification, and this is especially common with offices that advertise extremely low rates. When your surgeon is board certified in facial plastic surgery, you can be sure that they have received the complete and rigorous training required by experts in the field. Dr. Henderson is certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery.
