1) Is your surgeon a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon?

2) Does your surgeon operate in a facility that has been appropriately accredited by either AAAAAF, AAAHC, JCAHO, or Medicare?

3) What type of implant is right for you: saline, silicone or hybrid saline?

4) Do you want the implants placed above or below the chest wall muscle?

5) What incision will work best for you: around the nipple or in the fold below?

6) Do you need a breast lift at the same time?

7) Do you know what complications can occur during and after surgery?

8) What type of follow-up will be required after the operation?

9) Have you been appropriately screened for breast cancer prior to surgery?

10) What type of post-operative care will you need?
