Do other doctors assist or observe breast augmentation surgery?
Sometimes. If you are having your surgery at a university or teaching hospital, expect to have medical students present at your surgery as observers. If your plastic surgeon has a surgical resident (a graduate of a medical school who is still training), the resident may assist at your surgery. Your surgeon will be doing the bulk of the operation. If you are having surgery at a smaller hospital or in a surgery center, it will probably be just your surgeon working on you, but the rest of the operating room staff will be there, too. If you have concerns, share them with your plastic surgeon.
