It’s very important that the doctor you’ve selected for your plastic surgery has hospital privileges to perform your chosen procedure at a local accredited hospital.
Even if your procedure is going to be performed at a fully-accredited freestanding or office-based surgical center, you should confirm that your doctor meets the standards to perform it at the hospital. All hospitals require that doctors with privileges carry malpractice insurance, whereas in some states, there is no mandate for an individual physician without privileges to carry insurance.
