Know Your Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon
Ask what his/her credentials are and be sure to find out if they are Board Certified. Board Certifications may vary.
Request to see their credentials and find out if they are certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) or by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc. It is important to ask what categories they are certified for as well. As obvious as this may seem, you also want to verify that the plastic surgeon has all of the medical training required to perform the procedure you are considering.

It is also a good idea to ask what the surgeon’s specialties are or what procedures they have had the most success with. Don’t be afraid to ask how many times they have performed that particular procedure or if previous patients have experienced any complications. You can also feel free to ask for references or testimonials from prior patients.
The more information you know about the surgeon and his or her background and credentials, the better. Consider the consultation a fact finding process that will give you all the information needed to make an educated decision. Remember, it is your obligation to do your due diligence prior to choosing a Plastic Surgeon!
