Selecting a Physician:

As with any surgery, the single most important factor in achieving the results you desire is selecting the best physician for your breast augmentation procedure. Choosing the right surgeon is a responsibility that you shouldn’t take lightly. Never let yourself be pressured into making fast decisions. Instead, take as much time as you need to do your own research and check a surgeon’s training and experience.

In addition to medical experience, you should consider physician’s personal communication skills as well. Make sure they take the time to answer your questions and that they speak to you in a patient, respectful manner that makes you feel comfortable. You’ll also be spending a lot of time interacting with your physician’s staff, so you’ll also want to make sure you feel comfortable with them.

There are many ways to find a qualified physician. Referrals from friends or family members who’ve had breast augmentation is always a great way to start. In addition, you may also contact a number of respected professional organizations, such as

• The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
• The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
• The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons (AACS)
• Your local medical society
