Question 1

How do I choose the right plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Prioritize surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) — not just 'board-certified' by a less rigorous board. Look for strong Google ratings with before/after photos for your specific procedure, and verify their hospital privileges, which indicate peer-reviewed surgical standards.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for plastic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Rhinoplasty (nose job) runs $7,000–$15,000. Breast augmentation is $6,000–$12,000. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) costs $8,000–$15,000. These are surgeon fees only — facility, anesthesia, and post-op care add 30–50% to the total. Financing is widely available.

Question 3

How long does plastic surgery recovery typically take?

Accepted Answer

Most major procedures require 1–2 weeks off work. Swelling and bruising resolve over 4–8 weeks. Final results are typically visible at 3–6 months. Follow your surgeon's specific post-op instructions — recovery timelines vary significantly by procedure.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before choosing a plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Ask for their ABPS certification number (verify at certificationmatters.org), how many procedures of this specific type they perform annually, where surgery is performed and whether the facility is accredited, their complication rate, and what's included in the follow-up care.

Question 5

Are plastic surgeons on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ordered by real Google ratings and review counts. Independently verify ABPS board certification at certificationmatters.org — this is the authoritative credential for plastic surgery.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Contact the surgeon's office immediately for any post-surgical concerns — most complications are treated under the original surgical fee. For standard-of-care issues, file with your state medical board and consult a medical malpractice attorney if you suffered quantifiable harm.
