About

Plastic Surgeons in Lutherville-Timonium

What a plastic surgery consultation should cover

Plastic surgeons perform surgical cosmetic procedures. If a practice you are considering also offers non-surgical treatments such as tox, dermal fillers or laser work, ask which of those the surgeon performs personally. A consultation is the place to set out your goals, hear which options fit and learn what each involves. Before you leave, you should know who will operate, where the procedure will happen, what anesthesia is planned and what the recovery period looks like.

The licensing rules behind cosmetic work in Maryland

Maryland's Board of Physicians sets specific duties for non-surgical cosmetic work. Its regulations treat injected medical products, along with cosmetic laser, light, intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency treatments, as cosmetic medical procedures. A physician doing this work must hold a Maryland medical license and be trained in the procedure, and vendor or device-maker training alone does not meet that standard.

If a surgeon's office has a PA, nurse or other licensed provider carry out a cosmetic procedure, the physician must personally perform your initial assessment, prepare a written treatment plan, obtain your informed consent to be treated by a non-physician and provide onsite supervision, with limited exceptions. The physician keeps responsibility for anything delegated. More detail is on our page on Maryland rules for injectors and lasers.

Understanding the cost

Expect a surgical price only after you have been examined. When it arrives in writing, check that it lists each charge on its own line (surgeon, operating facility, anesthesia), and ask whether post-operative garments, supplies and follow-up appointments are inside the total or billed later. For any injectable added to a plan, ask which product and how many units or syringes; FDA-approved cosmetic tox brands include Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo.

Verifying a surgeon and the team

Search the surgeon by name in the Maryland Board of Physicians Practitioner Profile Search, which also covers physician assistants. Nurses and nurse practitioners can be checked in the Maryland Department of Health license lookup. Useful questions to bring:

  • How many times have you performed this procedure, and can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients?
  • Which board certifies you, and in which specialty?
  • Who else on the team will be involved, and what are their licenses?
  • What happens if I need a revision?

EAG evaluates Plastic Surgeons independently, and payment never affects placement. Rules change, so confirm licenses with the state board.

Common Questions

What patients ask

  • How do I look up a plastic surgeon's license in Lutherville-Timonium?

    Search the surgeon's name in the Maryland Board of Physicians Practitioner Profile Search, which lists Maryland physicians and physician assistants.

  • Can a nurse or PA in a surgeon's office do my tox or filler?

    Possibly. A Maryland physician may delegate a cosmetic procedure to a PA, or assign it to another licensed provider, such as a nurse, whose own licensing board considers it within scope. Either way, the physician must personally perform your initial assessment, prepare a written treatment plan and provide onsite supervision, with limited exceptions.

  • When will I get a price for surgery in Lutherville-Timonium?

    Usually after an in-person consultation. Ask whether the written figure includes post-operative garments, supplies and follow-up visits, or whether those are billed separately.

  • What should I bring to a consultation?

    Your medical history, current medications, and a list of questions about the surgeon's experience with the procedure, the facility, anesthesia, recovery and revision policy.
