What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about a chemical peel?

Use this checklist as a guide during your chemical peel consultation:

Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Were you specifically trained in the field of plastic surgery?
If a surgical facility is used for the treatment, is it accredited by a nationally- or state-recognized accrediting agency, or is it state-licensed or Medicare-certified?
Am I a good candidate for a chemical peel?
What will be expected of me to get the best results?
Who will perform the chemical peel?
Have they been specifically trained in this procedure?
Where and how will you perform my procedure or treatment?
How long of a recovery period can I expect?
What are the risks and possible complications associated with my procedure?
How can I expect to look over time?
Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for this procedure?
What results are reasonable for me?
