Here are some questions you might want to ask your plastic surgeon:

Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada?
Do you have hospital privileges to perform this surgery? If so, at which hospitals?
How many procedures of this type have you performed?
Where and how will you perform my surgery?
Is the surgical facility accredited or in the process of being accredited by a national or state-recognized accrediting organization?
What are the risks involved with my procedure?
How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
Will I need to take time off work? If so, how long?
How much will my procedure cost? Are financing options available?


Ask your health insurance company whether it will cover the procedure. Insurance plans do not cover cosmetic surgery.
