Choosing a qualified surgeon is a vital part of ensuring you will achieve your cosmetic goals. You will want to make sure the surgeon is certified by the the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) or other recognized board. Board certification signifies they have completed the appropriate training and continue to meet stringent requirements. The surgeon should have privileges in an accredited hospital and perform surgery in a nationally or state accredited surgical facility. Additionally, you will want to ask how many procedures of the kind you are considering the physician has performed. Most importantly you should feel comfortable with the surgeon during your consultation.
