The idea of getting plastic surgery can feel intimidating at first. After all, you only have one body, so you want to be sure you’re choosing a plastic surgeon you trust implicitly. Here are three tips that can help you find the right surgeon to give you beautiful results.
-
Ask Friends and Family for Recommendations
With cosmetic procedures becoming increasingly popular these days, chances are you already know someone who’s had some work done themselves. If you were impressed by their results, asking for the name of their surgeon is a great place to start. Remember not to take recommendations only at face value though; you still need to do a little homework before making a final decision.

Visit Plastic Surgery Websites
The website for the American Board of Plastic Surgery has a search function for you to look up board certified plastic surgeons by either name or location. Similarly, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery both offer tools to find qualified plastic surgeons in your area. A plastic surgeon who meets all three of these criteria is representative of a superior skillset as well as many years of experience.

Schedule a Consultation
Finally, no matter how great your surgeon looks on paper, connecting on a personal level with him or her is essential to ensuring a positive outcome and feeling supportive throughout the process. Many surgeons offer free consultations, so once you narrow your candidates down, make a first appointment with all of them to check out their respective bedside manners. If their skills and qualifications are otherwise comparable, it’s best to choose the surgeon you feel most comfortable with.
