An Important Note from The Beauty Broker
Take this checklist to your consultation so you’re equipped with the questions that need to be asked in order to choose the appropriate- and most qualified- cosmetic enhancement provider.
Qualifications
Your doctor holds the appropriate ABMS board certification and is a member in good standing of key professional societies. Medical facilities are fully accredited and anesthesia is only administered by quality medical professionals
Privileges
Professionalism
Your doctor is forthright in listening to and addressing your concerns, questions, and goals. You are offered solutions that you understand but not additional, unrelated procedures. Your doctor and the support staff treat you with respect and dignity. They are clear, concise, organized and attentive.
Checking Records
We check on all records prior to signing a doctor into our exclusive network. We have checked with state medical boards that the doctor is licensed to practice in the state and there are no prior or pending actions against him or her. Lawsuits abound, but only real negligence can jeopardize the status of a doctor’s medical license.
Proof
Your doctor has performed the procedure you are considering many times in the recent past and has shared photographs of actual results achieved on recent patients.
Information
You are given all of the information you need to make an informed choice, including informed consent documents to sign. Even if the treatment is one you have had in the past, each procedure requires your consent.
Health
Your doctor requires a health screening or evaluation prior to treatment or surgery. Any physical or emotional health conditions you have should be addressed, specifically how these may influence your cosmetic enhancement choices.
Cost
Every patient receives a treatment plan with a fee breakdown of THESE THREE ITEMS: Defined cost of surgery, Operating Room and Anesthesia.
Area of Expertise
*Inside Tip- In some states, there is no mandate for a doctor to carry malpractice insurance. However, all hospitals require the physicians with privileges to carry insurance, which is why choosing a doctor with hospital privileges for the procedure you are having is imperative.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
Five Essential Topics to Discuss With Your Plastic Surgeon and Aesthetic Consultant
- What is your board certification and what professional societies are you a member of?
- Is the facility where I would have my procedure accredited? By which organization? At which hospital do you have staff privileges for the procedure you will perform on me?
- What procedure do you recommend to help me best achieve my goals? What exactly can I expect during the procedure and in my recovery and healing?
- Are there alternatives to the procedure you recommend and what are all the trade-offs?
- What is your most recent experience in performing the procedure you are recommending for me? May I see recent before and after photos of your patient’s results and can I speak to the most recent ones?
