Choosing the right plastic surgeon

Board Certified in Plastic Surgery is the minimum requirement here, next is the one who has the most experience and the best photos to show you of folks with similar starting points to YOU, finally the one who honestly tells you that you need a lift with the implants for the best results.

Hi. I hope you find this article useful. 1) Is the surgeon a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery? Members usually do a lot of cosmetic surgery. 2) Did you sense a commitment to excellence in the office. Did the surgeon spend a lot of time with you? Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the surgery. 3) Were you treated as an individual? Did the surgeon present you with a surgical plan tailor made for you? 4)... more

Choosing a Surgeon

Thank you for your question. You need to do your research to find "the one" that you feel comfortable with for performing your surgery. Choose a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (not cosmetic surgery) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. From here, you know you are selecting from qualified surgeons. You need to meet with the surgeon, see many examples of their work and talk to patients about their experience... more
