As someone who has had plastic surgery or with a close friend who has, it will come as no surprise to know that the effects of a bad operation are unbearable such as pain and bleeding caused by infections. Every surgeon will proclaim their expertise as long as they are in business but the best plastic surgeons will meet several requirements, expected of them by the nation's surgeon regulatory authority as well as the safety interests of his or her clients.
Precautionary measures that you should take before choosing a surgeon
Any qualified cosmetic surgeon can do a breast enhancement, but only certified surgeons have the necessary training and have completed written and oral tests required to give them the approval of doing the surgery. The history of a surgeon will only assist you to know his or her credibility, and checking for any malpractice suit is the first due diligence activity that you undertake, before entrusting your body to the professional who claims to have your best interests at heart.

The best way to find out about the suitability of a surgeon, as a novice, is to get the right questions, and field them during your consultation sessions, before the actual operation. All surgeons should have hospital privileges that extend to their patients, if the doctor practices in an outpatient clinic. Be sure to ask about the existing privileges and proceed to conduct a background check on the said hospital. As a rule, stay away from any plastic surgeon missing a hospital privilege.
Beware of surgeons who recommend extra plastic surgeries just to increase the number of procedures; this works to their favor by increasing their pay. It is unethical for a surgeon, to have money as the primary motivation for doing a good job and it is your duty to watch out for them; therefore, keep in mind that, there can never be a stupid question from a patient to a doctor, especially when the procedure coming up will alter your body permanently.
Your next point of concern should be the ambulatory facility available to the surgeon and its accreditation status. There must be life support capabilities and a well-qualified team that has the right training to handle emergencies. Lastly, let your decision rely on the experience of the surgeon, and this will include how many similar procedures they have conducted in the past, and the gap between them. You should ask for photos of previous patients, before and after their plastic surgeries.
