Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make — not just for your appearance, but for your confidence and long-term satisfaction. In a city filled with world-class surgeons, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. At Dr. Mansher Singh’s Fifth Avenue practice, we believe that your consultation should empower you with knowledge, comfort, and trust.
Every Consultation Is with Dr. Singh Himself
Unlike many practices where initial consultations are handled by a sales team or patient coordinator, Dr. Singh personally conducts every consultation himself. This ensures that each patient receives his full attention, expertise, and honest assessment from the very beginning.
- Virtual consultations are complimentary and last approximately 15 minutes, though the time may vary depending on your goals and questions.
- In-person consultations are typically 30 minutes, allowing for a detailed discussion and examination tailored to your individual needs.
Preparing for Your Consultation
To make the most of your visit, it helps to arrive informed and focused on what matters most to you.
Before your consultation:
- Review the surgeon’s before-and-after gallery, paying close attention to patients who resemble you.
- Read patient reviews to understand others’ experiences.
- Check the surgeon’s credentials and board certifications — ideally through the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Key Questions to Ask Your Surgeon
A great consultation is a two-way conversation. Dr. Singh encourages his patients to ask thoughtful questions such as:
- How many of these procedures do you perform each year, and how does that compare to other surgeons?
- Can I see more examples of your work?
- Where will the surgery be performed, and who will administer anesthesia?
- What is the recovery timeline — and when will I see my final results?
- How many follow-up visits will I need, and will you personally see me at each one?
- What hospitals are you affiliated with?
- What are the potential risks, and how do you minimize them?
- What is your revision policy if an adjustment is needed?
Building Trust — The Foundation of a Successful Result
Recovery from facial surgery is a journey. Trust between patient and surgeon is paramount. As Dr. Singh emphasizes, the two most important factors for a successful outcome are:
- Trust the surgery.
- Trust the surgeon.
Choosing a surgeon should not just be about credentials — it should feel right. You should feel a personal connection with your surgeon and confidence that they will be with you through every stage of healing and transformation.
A Message from Dr. Singh
“In a city where there are so many talented surgeons — colleagues whom I deeply respect — the fact that you’re considering us for your procedure truly means the world to us. We understand what it takes to trust someone with your face, and we carry that responsibility with profound gratitude, sincerity, and empathy. We’ll be with you every step of the way.”
— Dr. Mansher Singh
