Is a “Resident” Clinic a good idea for difficult- ish case?

Hello, thank you for your question. A breast augmentation is a straight forward surgery. It still has its risk factors. Most of the time even a resident would be highly trained of course capable of doing the surgery. If this is something you are uncomfortable with then you choose someone else. Its your decision.

Thanks for your inquiry, all board certified plastic surgeon's start as residents. Residents care is supervised by senior staff, you might do more research on who is is the senior staff to find out their expertise. Good luck.

Dear mamabear226,
finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations
