Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon in Lebanon means verifying formal surgical training, active membership in recognized societies such as ISAPS, and hospital accreditation — not just a strong social media presence.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- Where did you complete your surgical residency and specialization?
- Are you an active member of ISAPS or your national plastic surgery society?
- Which accredited hospital or clinic do you operate in?
- Can I see a verified, consistent before-and-after portfolio?
Red Flags to Watch For
- No verifiable medical credentials or hospital affiliation
- Pressure to book the same day without a proper consultation
- Procedures offered outside an accredited hospital or clinic setting
- No clear, honest discussion of risks and realistic outcomes
