Pick a hospital and ask the OR nurses

G. Gregory Gallico III, MD answers: How to tell if I got a good plastic surgeon?

How can you make sure you have found a very good plastic surgeon? I want a Breast reduction and Tummy Tuck but I'm afraid it will end up a disaster. I want to make sure that I've found someone very good because I can only afford to do this once and I couldn't afford to have a botched job fixed.

Obviously, Check credentials: Board Certifed? Years of experience? Societies joined? But those won't tell you whether the surgeon does good surgery.

The best thing to do is to select a good hospital in your area and ask the nurses who work in the OR. They know what's what and who's who.
