The decision to get any type of cosmetic surgery is one that should not be taken lightly. Once you are sure that surgery is for you, it is important to research and meet a few different surgeons to find the best fit. Your surgeon should be board certified, experienced in your procedure of choice, respected among his or her peers, and easy to communicate with at all times. Here are just a few of the reasons why Dr. Bonaldi stands out among other Nevada plastic surgeons.
Credentialed
When choosing a plastic surgeon, the most important qualifier is board certification. Many surgeons claim to be board certified, but only certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the most credible. Surgeons board certified by the ABPS must meet a high level of ethical standards, training, and experience to earn certification. Dr. Bonaldi received ABPS board certification in 1991. Prior to this, he completed a fellowship in microsurgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery. He also completed both an internship and residency in general surgery. While a surgeon may be a good surgeon without being board certified, choosing a board certified surgeon will reduce risk and increase the chance of surgical success.
Experienced
No matter what type of cosmetic surgery you decide on, it is important to choose a surgeon that is experienced in that particular procedure. He or she should have plenty of before and after photos for you to view during a consultation. Specialized experience and education in a particular procedure is also a significant advantage. Dr. Bonaldi has performed more than 15 times the national average of facelift surgeries per surgeon per year. His experience in microsurgery and reconstructive surgery has given him insight into some of the most complex cases, including revision surgeries and correcting complications. Dr. Bonaldi can successfully repair tiny veins and rebuild hands, noses, and faces, which has strengthened his natural attention to detail and artistic ability.
Respected
When a surgeon is recognized in the media, receives awards, and is lauded by their peers, it is a good signifier that they would make a great plastic surgeon. Dr. Bonaldi has received several awards, including Best Doctors in America, Best Plastic Surgeon Reno, Best Plastic Surgeon in Nevada, and Chairman’s Prize for Outstanding Resident, among other accolades.
Personable
Another critical component of a successful surgery experience is to choose a surgeon who understands your needs and has a bedside manner that meets your standards. Dr. Bonaldi is known for his humble demeanor in spite of his vast surgical expertise. His patients and peers alike agree that he is a friendly, personable, and trustworthy surgeon.
