Military and biotech populations keep demand steady year-round. Confirm American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and surgical-facility accreditation, then use the ranked list below, real Google ratings weighted by review volume, as your shortlist.

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.
