How to Find a Good Breast Lift with Implants Doctor?

Hello, I'm 18 years old and I had a baby when I was 15. My breasts have sagged down and gotten a lot smaller I'm now at around a 36B or C. I'd love a breast lift and breast augmentation as well, but scared in case it goes wrong. Where can I find a good and safe cosmetic surgeon?

Credentials for lift/augment

Definitely ascertain that your surgeon is board certified in plastic sugery and will perform the procedure in an accredited facility. The lift/augment involves many decisions including size of implants and surgical technique. Ask lots of questions and stay away from any surgeon who doesn't take your concerns seriously or brushes off any potential complications.

When choosing a plastic surgeon you can use different methods. First, make sure you are searching for board certified plastic surgeons who are also on staff at reputable local hospitals. Then, ask friends/family members and usually two to three names come up. I would also check with your doctors - family physician, OB/Gyn, etc to get physician referrals. You can cross reference these three methods and once you narrow the list down to 2-3 surgeons, then call to make an appointment. See who... more
