This site was created to help better inform people who are considering plastic surgery and more specifically cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic surgery continues to be on the rise.
With this rise, has also come an increase in the number of doctors performing these procedures, and an increase in decisions that you, the patient, have to make. Due to poorer and poorer reimbursement from insurance companies many physicians perform cosmetic procedures to earn the living they are accustomed to. Almost all cosmetic type procedures are paid in cash and avoid insurance companies altogether. The best answer would be someone who is board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery. That is, someone who has completed formal training in an accredited plastic surgery residency, and has passed the necessary exams to be certified.
