Getting any plastic surgery is a big decision. And if you’re thinking about having any plastic surgery done, you should put a lot of time and effort into choosing a good plastic surgeon. I’m sure you’ve heard several horror stories, either from someone you know or in the media, of people who have had terrible plastic surgery mishaps due to inexperienced or uncertified surgeons. But fortunately for you, eHow.com has provided a detailed list on how to pick a quality plastic surgeon so you can avoid any bad experiences:

  1. You should check with the American Board of Plastic Surgery; there is only one board of true Plastic Surgeons and if your surgeon is not a member of this board that means he or she has not passed the requirements and testing that the board requires for patient safety.
  2. You should contact the American Society of Plastic Surgeons because only Plastic Surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who have been in practice for an extensive amount of time and have also demonstrated patient care and safety may be admitted into this society.
  3. Talk with friends and family and check with people who know the Plastic Surgeon and who have had interaction with the Surgeon because even a legitimate Plastic Surgeon who has genuine board certification may not be someone who you want operating on you.
  4. Interview the Surgeon yourself. It’s a good idea to consult with at least three Surgeons before your final decision. When you choose your Surgeon, you should feel completely comfortable so you can express any questions or concerns you have.
