1.Specialized Surgeons
The first step is to find a qualified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in the type of procedure that you are interested in.

Plastic surgeons may also specialize in breast surgery, such as implants, enlargements, breast reduction and reconstructive surgery after cancer treatment. Body enhancements are also a specialty that is provided by specific cosmetic surgeons who provide pec implants, butt lifts, thigh lifts, fat reduction, fat transfer and more
2. Ask for Surgical Credentials
If you are having a surgical or nonsurgical procedure completed, ask for the surgeon’s credentials. Make sure that your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery and has experience providing the treatment that you desire. Where did the surgeon go to school, and long have they been practicing plastic surgery? Where does the surgeon have hospital privilege is an important question. Only specific doctors are able to provide treatment at a hospital, which could be needed if you experience complications. While plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments are becoming more popular, it is important to do your homework and make sure that the physician is talented and equipped to handle any challenge.

Visit the potential plastic surgeon’s website to see before and after photos and read prior patient reviews. This is a good way to find out about the quality of work that the surgeon provides on a regular basis. Check social media to read reviews or comments that prior patients may have made.
