Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
