Breast augmentation surgeon.
I think that the first place to start is to go to the ASPS or ASAPS website to look for surgeons in your area. Make sure that they are board certified. Ask friends as well who they went to and if they were happy with the results.

Don't Cry
You should pick a board certified plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and are able to communicate with easily. In a perfect world, it would be great if they were recommended by a friend. Make sure they operate in an accredited surgery center and use board certified Anesthesiologists. Make sure to ask the doc if he/she thinks you need a lift (mastopexy) because it is often a necessary part of the "mommy-makeover" procedure. Good luck. Don't cry anymore...going to be OK.

Finding the best surgeon for a natural looking result from breast augmentation
When considering breast augmentation surgery, I believe that the most important question for a prospective patient to ask themselves is this: Am I seeking a natural-appearing result? If the answer is yes, then seek out a surgeon who has the same aesthetic sensibility that you have (and appropriate training and experience). And insist on seeing `before and after' photos. A lot of them.

How to choose the right surgeon
There are a lot of factors when choosing a surgeon. Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is very important. Look at before and after photos and get an idea if the surgeon has the same aesthetic taste as you do. Read online reviews. Visit with a few local surgeons and you should be able to determine if one or more of them seem trustworthy to you. Ask if you can talk to some of his/her previous patients. Ask to talk with a few patients that have had complications to see...

Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon
An excellent question. In checking the plastic surgeons in your area, before scheduling a consultation make sure the surgeon is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery, then find out if the facility is accredited, and ask if the anesthesiologist is Board Certified. Then if possible have 2 or 3 consultations to see who you feel most comfortable with. Look at before and after pictures of actual patients to see the type of work the surgeon does. Good luck!

How to find the right plastic surgeon
Anyone with an M.D. degree (and even some without an M.D. degree) can call themselves a plastic surgeon these days. There is no regulation on who can perform cosmetic surgery. With that in mind, I would offer the following suggestions:
1. Select a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the only board recognized by the AMA for the training and certification of plastic surgeons.
2. Ask friends who have plastic surgery previously about...

When you ready for an in person consultation, RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org).
