Timeline PhotosAlways consider the setting when thinking about having any type of aesthetic surgery procedure. You should be cautious about receiving procedures outside of a medical setting, such as in a private home or at a “party.”
If undergoing a surgical procedure outside of a hospital, the facility should be accredited by a recognized, national agency such as:
• The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities
• Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
All facilities should be state-licensed or Medicare certified. Check on the doctor’s hospital privileges. If a cosmetic surgical procedure is to be performed in an office or ambulatory surgery center, the surgeon should have privileges to perform the same procedure in an acute care hospital.
