Once you have found a Plastic, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon – whether by referral from a GP or friend, or someone you have heard in the media or through the Internet, or even by chance – make sure you take the necessary steps to ensure your decision is right for you.

Perform the basics of checking their credentials. Speak to people that may have worked with them or been their patient and go for a consultation and second opinions.

You should never feel coerced by a Surgeon and you will quickly get the impression if they really care about you and your outcome. In the end, all things being equal, choose the surgeon you are most comfortable with. Don’t forget it is Your Decision.
