Becoming a cosmetic doctor is not only about surgical skills and education about facial anatomy. To be successful as a beauty doctor, you also need good communication skills, not only with patients but also for networking.
The American Association of Aesthetic Medicine & Surgery page states that the ability to show empathy is also important in the practice of medicine. Despite exceptional surgical skills, years of experience, and numerous awards, poor customer service can make prospective patients think twice about seeking treatment.
Aesthetic doctors need to be able to explain procedures and treatments in language that is easy for patients to understand. Good communication skills not only help in patient relations, but also in coordinating with other staff in the operational environment.
Effective communication is not just about responding to the patient’s needs, but also includes understanding body language and a non-judgmental attitude towards the patient’s wishes. This is key in preventing the risk of injury, building trust and strengthening collaboration with other staff.
On the other hand, communication is also important as a way for beauty doctors to network. The development of technology and science means that beauty doctors also need to upgrade their skills so they can provide maximum service.
