Warning signs you can't afford to ignore.

That gut feeling during your consultation? Trust it. Here are the red flags that should send you running to find another surgeon.

🚩 They pressure you to book surgery immediately Real surgeons want you to take time and think it through. High-pressure tactics are a major red flag that screams "money over patient safety."

🚩 Their before/after photos look too good to be true If every single result looks like a magazine cover, they're probably using stock photos or heavily filtered images. Ask for unedited, recent patient photos.

🚩 They won't show you their credentials Board certification isn't optional—it's essential. If they dodge questions about their training or certification, walk away immediately.

🚩 The consultation feels rushed Your surgeon should spend real time understanding your goals, explaining procedures, and answering questions. A 15-minute rush job isn't enough for life-changing surgery.

🚩 They promise "no scarring" or "zero downtime" Every surgery has risks and recovery time. Surgeons who make impossible promises are either lying or inexperienced.

The bottom line? Your safety is worth more than a discount. Choose a surgeon who makes you feel confident, informed, and genuinely cared for.
