If you’re currently exploring plastic surgery, you’ve already realized these are intensely personal decisions. And, if the providers you’re following seem to be producing results that look harsh and overly dramatic, expand your search to professionals who value beauty both inside and out.
Get to know Forsyth Plastic Surgery in Winston-Salem, NC – home to four board certified plastic surgeons ready to help you achieve subtle enhancements that create a refreshed version of your beautiful self. Drs. Schneider, Kingman, Lawson and Branch make up this respected practice – consistently named the #1 Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Center by The Winston-Salem Journal’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
Keeping a keen eye on balance, proportion and improving your current features, it’s important to have trained physicians on your team. Choosing a board certified plastic surgeon ensures you’re working with a physician who’s undergone extensive education and training and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) – the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for plastic surgery.
Certification represents a mastery of both the science and artistry of plastic surgery, along with a commitment to patient safety and ethical standards. Board certified providers complete years of surgical training, maintain ongoing education and operate only in accredited surgical facilities. That means patients feel confident knowing they’re in the hands of experienced professionals who prioritize safety, precision and natural results.
“Many physicians offer procedures outside the scope of their education and training. That could lead to complications requiring costly revision surgery. The main reason board certification matters for plastic surgery is patient safety! All of our surgeons are board certified and experienced in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery,” shares Dr. Leslie Branch.
Putting yourself in the capable hands of an accredited onsite surgery center also matters. Surgery performed onsite at The Plastic Surgery Center of North Carolina (PSC), housed within Forsyth Plastic Surgery, offers benefits beyond just convenience – including privacy and peace of mind. The QUAD-A accredited surgical facility meets the same rigorous standards as hospital operating rooms, ensuring the highest level of safety, with a comfortable, more personalized environment. With operating suites within the facility, patients are cared for by the same team they met during their consultations. This continuity fosters trust, ensuring every step of the process is handled with the highest level of personal care – something that’s a major mission at Forsyth Plastic Surgery.
“We are very fortunate to have our own private accredited surgery center in our Winston-Salem office,” adds Dr. Andrew Schneider. “The efficiency and privacy of our facility is a much better option than going through a hospital, and our staff is specifically trained for cosmetic procedures. They will help you through every step, ensuring you are comfortable and cared for!”
“One of the great things about our practice is we spend time getting to know our patients,” says Dr. George Lawson III. “Each person has different goals, and we want to achieve them when it’s possible and appropriate. New patients spend dedicated time with their doctors in consultation, and then at another pre-operative visit, before any actual procedures. This provides a chance to ask questions and for surgeons to review their expected achievable outcomes.“
