How to select a plastic surgeon to perform a breast reduction

You should search for a board certified plastic surgeon at minimum. You can inquire of friends who have had the same procedure performed. You can ask your primary care doctor or ob-gyn for a few recommendations. Searching online is another way but you must check credentials. See a few plastic surgeons, check their work and determine who you feel most comfortable with including the office staff.
