When you do find a plastic surgeon make sure you find out what his area of specialty is. You wouldn't want your television fixed by a plumber so don't ask for facial surgery from a doctor who specializes in implants. Most reputable plastic surgeons provide potential clients with a glossy brochure that details exactly what procedures they do and how much it will cost. If cost seems to be some kind of mystery or you can't get a straight answer about doctor's schedule, then move on to next likely prospect!

You should also find out about doctor's qualifications and training. Usually this kind of thing is plastered all over waiting room or office walls. A lack of diplomas is very suspicious and you might simply end up with a high school graduate who nearly got a degree who took a couple of courses on side. Most doctors will be happy to supply you with references as well phone numbers of former happy patients.
