Finding the best breast augmentation doctors

Different breast augmentation doctors must be certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery

To find the “best” surgeon to perform your Breast Augmentation I would suggest you begin by going to the American Society of Plastic Surgery web site to find board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. “Best” to me refers to attention to detail, experience, and safety. Some of the considerations that I think are important are:

1. Proper training (choose a board certified plastic surgeon)
2. Proper Experience – is Breast Enhancement Surgery a significant part of the surgeons practice. Not all plastic surgeons do the same spectrum of procedures.
3. Safety – this relates back to sufficient training and experience. Safety issue, also relates to where the procedure is performed. Particularly if performed as an office procedure – does the surgery occur in an accredited facility. AAAASF is a governing body that most plastic surgeons use to verify that their operative facility has satisfied these requirements.
4. See before and after pictures, ask to see if actual patient testimonials are available. (Sergio P. Maggi, MD, Austin Plastic Surgeon)
