Where they practise
Questions to ask at a consultation
A consultation is a job interview, and you're the one hiring. A surgeon who welcomes these questions is usually the surgeon you want.
- How many of this procedure did you do last year, and what share of your work is it?
- What do you do when a result isn't what the patient hoped? Do you take on your own revisions?
- Where will the surgery take place, and who looks after me if there's a problem at night or at the weekend?
- Can I see results from patients with a similar starting point to mine, not only your best ones?
A profile tells you what a surgeon does, not how well. Credentials confirm specialist training, not results. Everything above comes from official registers, professional bodies and the practice's own site, never from the surgeon paying us.

Othon Papadopoulos
Athens, GreeceIn plain English
The Athens Medical Association records Othon Papadopoulos as a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
The Athens Medical Association register lists Othon Papadopoulos (father's name Nikolaos, registration number 011526) as a regular member. His recorded specialty is plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, and his address is in central Athens. The Hellenic Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery lists him as an ordinary member, which requires the specialist title. Athens Medical Group (Iatriko Faliro) also lists him as a plastic surgeon.
The Athens register shows one Othon Papadopoulos, but the Greek name is common and we matched on specialty, city and the hospital and society listings rather than on a date of birth.
The register does not show current good standing or any disciplinary history, so confirm it on the national register at https://www.pis.gr/.
The ASPS international membership listing is not a US board certification and does not license anyone to practise in Greece.

What this doesn't tell you
Registration confirms specialist training. It can't tell you how skilled a surgeon is, how often they perform your procedure, or what your results will be. Those are questions for your consultation. Registers change, so confirm anything important with the register before you decide.
