Making the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery, liposuction or any other type of cosmetic procedure is a highly effective way to get that sexy body you’ve always wanted. It’s amazing how much a a new-and-improved appearance can completely transform your self-confidence. That being said, it’s important to remember that these are complex medical procedures, meaning you should only trust the most skilled plastic surgeons with your body. 

As we reported previously on this blog, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an alert following news that at least 19 women across the United States had suffered from serious mycobacterial wound infections after receiving cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic over the past 12 months. None of the women died, but many of them required extensive antibiotic treatments and corrective procedures. 

Although cosmetic procedures may be more costly in the United States, here are some key reasons why it’s in your best interest to undergo these surgeries stateside: 

• Access to board certified plastic surgeons with years of experience 
• Proximity to quality U.S. hospitals in the event that something goes wrong
• Reduced chances of experiencing health complications 
• Your family and friends will be nearby to care for you while you recover.

If you’re ready to get a cosmetic procedure, you owe it to yourself to find the best plastic surgeon in Miami to perform your breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, Brazilian butt lift or whatever it is you have in mind. Dr. Christopher Craft is a board certified plastic surgeon, so you know you can trust him to consider your safety a top priority before, during and after your procedure.
