Discussing Plastic Surgery with a Family Doctor
I receommend that my patients, those of whom have an underlinying medical issue or are taking multiple medications, to speak to their primary physicians. Usually young and healthy patients don't need to consult with their primary care doctor, but they can if they so choose.

Plastic surgeon referral
If you have a respected and good family doctor, I would start there with a referral. Even better is a gynecologist as long as he or she is not practice plastic surgery as some like to dabble in the field. Reputable gynecologists get to see all the women who have had plastic surgery in a community and usually have a sense of who is good and who has complications.

Get an OK from the family doctor for plastic surgery?
Yes You should always follow your family doctor's advice regarding your health. BUT don't listen to any personal opinion like "You don't need it" or "Your breasts are big enough" or "You hips are small enough" There is no accounting for taste. Family doctors have no experience catering to your particular Taste (preferences). For plastic surgeons..............
THAT'S WHAT WE DO!

The next step should be the internet. Check the doctor...
