Choosing the Best Facial Plastic Surgeon in New England

You have made the decision to look better. Now you just have to find the right surgeon who can provide you with the amazing results you are looking for. As a consumer, the information you find on the internet can be confusing and overwhelming. How do you know which surgeon to choose? We have pulled together some important information to ensure that you find the best surgeon to perform your procedure and that you are ultimately happy with your results. If you’re thinking about enhancing your facial features or saying goodbye to wrinkles, jowls, or other flaws—choosing a surgeon who knows exactly what he or she is doing is an absolute must. As cosmetic treatments are increasingly popular across the country, more and more physicians are performing these treatments. This makes choosing a surgeon even more challenging. Where do you start? First, you want to begin with the physician’s credentials.

Skill and Experience of Plastic Surgeon

When researching a surgeon, you should begin with their credentials. There are many reputable websites where you can find surgeons who specialize in the treatments you are looking for.

Oftentimes, surgeons who are very skilled and have extensive experience in their field tend to be more costly than surgeons with less experience. A lower price may be tempting, but don’t let that be the deciding factor. When cosmetic procedures are offered at significantly lower prices than what is typical for surgical and non-surgical procedures, take that as a red flag.

General Approach to Surgery (natural looking vs. “obviously done”)

When considering a cosmetic procedure, you want the results to be very natural looking. In other words, you still want to look like yourself—only a younger looking, more refreshed version of yourself. Whether it’s surgery, Botox, laser skin resurfacing, lip injections, etc.—the end result should never look “fake.” During your consultation, ask to see before and after pictures of prior patients. This will give you an idea for what you can expect for you own procedure.

Training and Education

Nowadays, there are many health care providers performing plastic surgery procedures, but that doesn’t mean they’re all qualified to perform them. Surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery & Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) are trained in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck. Board certified surgeons have more training and more experience in the areas where they specialize. Therefore, they are more qualified to perform cosmetic procedures.

Connecting with Your Needs

When choosing a plastic surgeon, you want to feel as if you can communicate well with your surgeon and they are able to understand your needs. Be wary of a surgeon who doesn’t spend enough time with you discussing your procedure. Make sure you choose a plastic surgeon who takes their time discussing your options, as well as the risks and benefits. He or she should show a genuine interest in wanting to know more about what concerns you, and then focusing on a treatment plan that will give you the best results. You should also ask as many questions as possible so you feel comfortable with the treatments that are being suggested to you. A qualified plastic surgeon will take his or her time to make sure the patient understands and feelscomfortable with the treatment plan.

Quality Pre and Postoperative Care

Where a plastic surgeon performs your cosmetic procedure is absolutely critical. It should be in a clean and sterile environment with qualified team members there to assist him or her as necessary. Many board certified surgeons are required to operate in facilities that meet strict standards for equipment, personnel, and room safety. Some of these agencies who oversee surgical facilities include The Joint Commission, AAAASF, and AAAHC. With these strict standards in place, patients are safer and there are fewer complications during and after the procedure. A good plastic surgeon, along with his or her team, will also take the time to prepare you for your recovery.

Reviews from Past Patients

When choosing a plastic surgeon, it’s important to put on your “investigative hat.” While you can’t believe everything you read online, sometimes online reviews can be helpful. If a plastic surgeon has more negative reviews than positive, you may want to look elsewhere. Check out our recent reviews to see what our past patients have to say about our work.

I am not new to plastic surgery and this was my first surgery with Dr. Ahn. He was by far the best I have ever been to! He and his entire staff are wonderful and caring. I had a mini facelift revision and neck lift. I feel great and have received compliments without anyone really knowing what I have actually done. I highly recommend Dr. Ahn and his staff! We are most fortunate to have Dr. Ahn and his associates in Massachusetts. I would travel to see him in another state, if he need be, given...

A.C.

Thank you for all you’ve done this past year to assist in my health and well-being. I will always think of this year as the year my smile returned.

R.D.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate what you have done for me. I love my new appearance, especially my neck! I used to hide behind turtleneck sweaters, and now, when I look in the mirror, I’m delighted! I did not know what to expect, but you took the time to explain all aspects of the surgery and even used computer imaging to let me see how I would look after the actual surgery. You and your staff offered a safe, caring, and comfortable experience to me. Looking back, I am cert...

C.D.

Dr. Ahn and his staff are amazing. Dr. Ahn was able to give me the nose I always wanted. I am so incredibly happy I chose him to perform my surgery. His calm confidence put me at ease and he was really able to deliver what he said he would do. Many surgeons I went to see refused to use before and after imaging, which concerned me. One doctor told me it was because he didn't want people to have unrealistic expectations, and it wasnt accurate. But Dr. Ahn was able to not only show me my p...

M.S.

Transformative is the first word that comes to mind. My experience with Dr. Ahn was absolutely transformative! I had a deep plane face, neck, and brow lift. Every one of my friends has said it is the most natural, incredible facelift result they have ever seen. Everything about the experience was perfect. Dr. Ahn's skill, artistry, kindness, and attention to detail were amazing, and his staff is absolutely wonderful. I am 70 and I now look like I did in my 50's. I look in the mirror and see m...

E.S.

I’ve been going to Dr. Ahn for many years and referred many friends because they do amazing work. Everyone is beyond happy with the results. Dr. Ahn, Rebecca, and the entire staff always take their time talking to you and answering any questions or concerns. Never any pressure. They always follow up with a phone call and are always pleasant. I just love them!

M.Z.

No bruises! Everything looks good; you are an artist!

H.R.

What a dramatic difference and great result my son got! Dr. Ahn and his staff have been such a pleasure to work with and have always made my son very comfortable. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful experience! My son first saw Dr. Ahn when he was 15 years old, and after our first consult appointment, he knew he wanted Dr. Ahn to do the surgery on his nose. Thanks again to the entire staff for being so kind and professional.

K.L.

Everything seems to be healing well after the laser treatments I received this past week. Thank you so much for the care and kindness you showed me during the treatment.

E.W.

I was expecting a change in the hyper-pigmentation from the Fraxel laser treatment that Rebecca administered; however, you can’t imagine the sheer joy I experienced when I actually saw the final result. I actually started to cry, as I couldn’t believe how wonderful my skin looked. After all these years, the dark patches were gone.

L.S.

I just wanted to send a note of thanks for the wonderful job you did on my recent rhinoplasty. Ever since I was a teenager, I had been slightly self-conscious about my wide nose (not to mention all of the trouble I had with the deviated septum). As I grew older, I learned to like my nose a bit better because it was similar to my grandmother’s, mother’s, and, now, daughter’s (although still a bit wider). When I first came to see you, I was unsure if I really wanted to have a ...

D.M.

Thank you for being so kind and supportive before, during, and after my procedure. Your genuine personality and concern really mean a lot, especially when a person is in such a vulnerable state of being. I knew you guys cared, and I was in good hands. You were very comforting. Thank you for your kindness and for helping me through this process.

P.B.

I would like to thank you all for making me feel like a worthy human being again. Your professionalism and emotional support, along with a little Juvederm and BOTOX, were the perfect medicine for me! The staff is as friendly as they are beautiful. Thanks to all of you, I am looking forward to the compliments that keep coming. I was truly at an all-time low emotionally and physically. You’ve all given me the confidence boost to get back on track and kick some b__!

Thank you!

M.Z.

I am so pleased and happy with each procedure and surgery that I have had here. The warm and friendly atmosphere keeps me coming back, and I tell so many of my friends about your office.

K.D.

This is a long overdue thank you for all the kind services I received! I love my eyes – they are such an improvement!

K.L.

I would like to express my appreciation for the wonderful post-operative care extended to me by everyone in this organization. Everyone’s sensitivity to my needs has been at the 100% level, which is totally consistent with my entire experience with The Aesthetic Wellness Center.

M.S.

Dr. Ahn came highly recommended to me by my colleagues in the fashion industry, and his work has exceeded my expectations. He and his staff were extremely professional, courteous, and helpful through every step of the process and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable at all times. The results were fantastic, and I give Dr Ahn and his staff my highest recommendation to my friends and clients.

M.L.

I could not be more pleased with the results of the procedures that you recommended for me. For most of my life, I have not been a person to be particularly concerned with my looks, but upon reaching my 50s, I started to look in the mirror and despair at the rapid changes I was seeing in my appearance. I am thrilled with the results and very appreciative of your professionalism and expertise, including your recommendation of a procedure (chin augmentation) that I would not have considered wit...

C.Z.

I am 10 days post-surgery and just wanted to say THANK YOU to you, Rebecca, all the staff, and, of course, Dr. Ahn for an amazing experience. I am already back to work with no bruising and absolutely no sign that I had surgery—just an amazing new appearance of my nose and way better breathing! I got my cast off on Wednesday and, at first, didn’t know what to think or feel. It was emotional for me, and I needed a few days to get used to my new look. I am so happy and beyond pleased...

S.O.

Thank you for all of your hard work, hospitality, and careful attention to detail. I love my new nose!

K.S.

I have a really good result. I am so happy with the Juvederm and BOTOX. There was no bruising at all, and it wasn’t painful.

K.C.

I wanted to write a quick review to compliment Dr. Ahn for a great job with my septorhinoplasty six months ago. At this point, I can say with confidence that I have a natural, good-looking result.

I’ve always had a nose that’s on the larger side, and as I got older, its asymmetry became more pronounced, and the tip seemed to grow longer and droopier.

During the consultation, I explained to Dr. Ahn that I like having a distinctive nose, but I’d like it to be mor...

M.G.

I just wanted to write and thank you once again for your kindness, patience, and great care. It’s been a long time, and I have made plans, and your advice, consideration, and professionalism helped me choose the right course of action. I am extremely pleased with my results and look forward to facing “the process” with a positive attitude. You told me when I first met you, “one step at a time,” so that’s exactly what I’m doing. Thank you again.

P.M.

I keep looking at my nose in the mirror at different angles and can’t believe it’s mine! It is only day seven of post-op, so it still is going to get better! I caught my reflection in the window when I was sitting at my mother’s table, and I saw a jawline and a neck, which made my shoulders look sleeker. It just dominoes down the line.

When Dr. Ahn came to see me in SDC before surgery to mark my neck, I told him this: One of my friends said to me, “You shouldn&r...

J.M.

The words “thank you” don’t seem to capture how thankful I am to you and your staff for seeing me through my procedure. Although it’s only been a little longer than a week, I feel like a much more confident and happy person. When I was young, I always said I would never “go under the knife,” but the situation with my eyes was affecting my everyday life. I know at times, I was a challenge, and I thank you for your patience. I now look forward to a new outloo...

T.M.

I just wanted to take the time and let you know what a wonderful team you have.

I have only had the greatest experience in your and Rebecca’s hands. As you know, I have an extreme fear of needles, and Rebecca has the most amazing way of calming my fears and making me look great! Today, I even had my lips done!

Your office staff are always friendly and treat me with the greatest professionalism.

I.B.

Thank you so very much. I honestly cannot believe the difference. I look amazing! Side-by-side comparisons—I have no words. It’s hard to believe it has been a year since my procedure. I am really excited!

N.T.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for your impressive professionalism and extreme kindness. I have done amazingly well post-op and am so excited to enjoy the benefits of this procedure. Hope you have a wonderful summer!

A.V. & M.V.

We just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my mom. We are so thankful that there are doctors like you. We are very happy with the results!

M.L. & M.B.

I just wanted to put in writing how happy I am with my new and greatly improved jawline and neck! I think I was a little afraid when I saw the first unveiling—it was so different! But as I am sure you know, I quickly realized and appreciated your fine work and expertise.

Thank you and Rebecca for taking such good care of me. Your whole staff is welcoming and friendly, which made this an easy procedure.

M.W.

Thank you so much for all that you have done for me, not only with respect to my recent rhinoplasty but for all of the compassion and kindness you showed me after my skin cancer diagnosis. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude, so I wanted to give you just a small token of appreciation. I am so happy with how my nose looks. The swelling continues to diminish, and I feel great. You are brilliant, talented, and incredibly patient and reassuring. Thank you for taking the time to answer al...

S.S.

I just want to say that I noticed a difference in the quality of Fraxel treatments done at Ahn Point compared to the treatment I had at the other office I went to. First, you and Dr. Ahn seem to care about me, and it’s not all about the money. I am more swollen, and the recovery time is taking longer, which I am happy about. You also seemed more experienced and professional than the past RN I had experienced with.

G.C.

I was so nervous about the Fraxel treatment, but like you girls said, it was great! I look forward to my next one, and I hope to schedule it very soon!

S.S.

Thank you all so much for making the surgery possible. I so appreciate the support and care, and I am grateful.

J.D.

Thank you so very much for all your kindness, caring, and patience. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!

K.C.

I am very happy with the way my eyes look—what a difference!! It looks like I could come back for some help with some other things! I really appreciate all of the support and care you showed me last year. I really questioned whether I should do it or not. You sharing your experience with me really helped me decide to go ahead, and I am so very happy I did.

M.B.

Thank you for being so understanding and supportive through my recovery. You made me feel comfortable to express myself without feeling rushed. You made me feel much more calm and positive about the entire healing process. Your patience and support and obvious concern really matters to a patient. You have a great staff-especially Rebecca. She comforted me before, during, and post surgery. She let me know I was in good hands (literally )! Thanks again for being such a good and kind doctor-and ...

I wanted to thank you for making me feel so welcome at my consultation. Other plastic surgeons had made me feel unwelcome. Please thank your staff for being so supportive of me before and after my surgery. You have made me look younger and now I have a new outlook on life. I can’t thank you enough.

I recently went to a wedding in St. Thomas and when we were saying good bye to folks at the airport, I overheard a man who was among the wedding guests tell my husband that he had a very pretty and young wife.

Thanks so much to you and your staff!

R.R.

Dr. Ahn and his team have surpassed my highest expectations. They have spent endless amounts of time with me, answering my questions and assuaging my fears. Dr. Ahn himself proved not only remarkably knowledgeable in our consultation, but was quick to point out that of the three areas of my face I wanted him to work on, two would be a waste of my time and my money. For the third, he gave very specific reasons why I might want improvement, but never pressured me to go ahead with a procedure. I...

M.A.

From the moment I walked into Dr. Ahn’s office to the post surgery appointments, my experience with Dr. Ahn and his staff was nothing less than amazing. I had rhinoplasty October 2016. I was so nervous about making the decision to have the surgery, but after my initial consultation, I knew if I was going to go forward, it would only be with Dr. Ahn. He was extremely professional, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was petrified on the day of my surgery, but Dr. Ahn and his staff ...
