Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, ask how many of your specific procedure they perform annually, and use the ranked list below, real Google ratings weighted by review volume, as your starting shortlist, not your final answer.

How to vet a plastic surgeon
Three checks before any consultation deposit: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (in Canada, Royal College certification, FRCSC), surgery performed in an accredited facility, and a direct answer to "how many of my exact procedure do you perform each year?" A reputable surgeon welcomes all three questions. Be cautious with heavy discounting and package deals: surgery is the wrong purchase to optimize on price.
