Choosing a plastic surgeon is a significant decision, and whether the surgeon is male or female, it’s essential to prioritize factors such as qualifications, experience, and patient comfort. If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover, you’ve probably put some thought into who you want to talk with and perform your surgery. Unsurprisingly, many moms feel more comfortable discussing their options with another woman, particularly with a female plastic surgeon who has had children herself.
We are fortunate to have Dr. Lauren Daly as part of the surgical team at The Natural Result / Center for Aesthetic Artistry. She offers moms a unique and cherished perspective when considering cosmetic surgery.
Here are some potential advantages of choosing a female plastic surgeon like Dr. Daly for your mommy makeover:
Empathy and Understanding
Some moms feel more comfortable discussing their goals with a female surgeon, particularly since mommy makeovers often focus on sensitive areas of the body such as the breasts and pubic area. Female plastic surgeons may be perceived as more empathetic and understanding when it comes to these discussions.
Relatability
In our experience, patients always feel more at ease when their surgeon can relate to their experiences and concerns. A female plastic surgeon may better understand the unique needs and perspectives of women seeking breast surgery, body contouring, or other procedures. Dr. Daly knows what it’s like to have the stresses of being a mom while also wanting to look good and be successful in your professional life.
Communication
Some women find that they have easier and better communication with doctors and medical professionals that are female. That’s certainly not to say that male plastic surgeons are unable to relate to or communicate with their patients. But effective communication is essential for positive plastic surgery outcomes, so it’s good for patients to give some thought to their own communication preferences.
Skill and Qualifications
When thinking about who you want to perform your mommy makeover, gender should not be the sole factor in how you make your choice of surgeon. Items such as qualifications, experience, bedside manner, and results also are essential to evaluate. Ultimately, safety and results are the most important factors in choosing a plastic surgeon for your mommy makeover.
