Surgeon’s Credentials:
 
Don’t hesitate to verify the physician’s medical license, certifications and their professional society memberships.
Surgeon’s Experience:
 
Ask about the surgeon’s medical education and training specific to cosmetic surgery. How often does the doctor perform the procedure you are considering?
Ask for Referrals:
 
Keep in mind that physicians specialize in many different areas of cosmetic surgery and most are not experts in every area.
Look at Your Options:
 
Don’t be afraid to consult with more than one cosmetic surgeon, to discuss various surgery techniques and your desired outcome.
