If you are planning to "have some work done" it's important to find someone extremely qualified for the job
. You wouldn't want just anyone working on your car, performing a root canal, or performing major heart procedure on you. Plastic is no different. You need to have a cosmetic surgeon that you can trust. So how do you go about finding such a doctor?
When you are trying to find the right doctor for your procedure there are some things that you need to checkout. First you need to see what credentials your cosmetic surgeon has. You need to check to see how long your doctor has been practicing plastic surgery. It's also a good idea to see if your surgeon is a member of the American Association of Plastic Surgery. These doctors have gone through additional certifications and have been in the business of beauty for a good long while prior to taking up the procedure.
Many cosmetic surgeons can do just about any type of plastic surgery but many specialize in one or two types of the same. No matter if the doctor is a general or specialist you need to speak at length with your doctor prior to the procedure. You need to make sure that your doctor is willing to listen to you and is willing to work with you. If you have high expectations that cannot be met your physician should be able to tell you that and offer an alternative that will get you what mostly what you want to accomplish while making it an attainable goal.
It's important to speak to the hospital or hospitals that your surgeon is affiliated with to see if that hospital is an accredited hospital. You want to make sure that your doctor is dealing with a reputable hospital.

If you feel that you are feeling like you are being rushed into a procedure you may need to find a different physician. You need time to decide what you want to do and what your overall goals are. You don't need to rush into anything.
If you feel that you can't speak to your doctor then you need a different physician as well. Anytime of surgery can cause anxiety, having plastic surgery is no different. The right cosmetic surgeon will be there with you not just physically but emotionally too.
