"Today, all kinds of doctors perform Cosmetic Surgery." As stated in "The New You"(a cosmentic surgery magazine), "Finding the right surgeon is as easy as one, two, three."

1. How to choose a qualified surgeon
   <sub>You must look for a doctor that specializes in the certain type of surgery you're interested in. The doctor should have experience in performing the procedure. The doctor should have competence in understanding your personal needs and be able to provide references. References are always important. Don't be afraid to check with patients that have received the same procedure. Their happiness with the procedure should tell you if the doctor is capable in his work.
   
   Find out if the doctor is accredited and whether the doctor is on a board or organization for that specialty. Then you can check with the organizations that the doctor is a part of to verify his membership and credentials. When you're at a meeting with a doctor look for professional appearance and conduct, along with showing patience for your questions.</sub>

2. What to expect during a consultation
   _{A consultation is all about having a surgeon or patient counselor listen to your history and needs. From there they will tell you if the procedure is the best for you. The surgeon will then explain how the procedure is performed, along with the type of results, the lasting effect of the surgery, recovery time, and most importantly the possible risks of the surgery. Also remember to ask any questions you may have. Nothing is too insignificant; there are no foolish questions.}
