Center Cosmetic Surgery

Can anyone recommend a good plastic surgeon in Atlanta GA?

I am wanting to get a lift with implants,but would like to get a good referral. I get nervous I hear that alot of doctors claim to be board certified when they are not. Also, how do you know if the before and after photos you are looking at are really their work? What do you look for when searching for a good plastic surgeon?

1. Ask your local doctors. While looking for a good plastic surgeon , ask him to show proof of his earlier surgeries. You can also ask other patients who have been operated by him
2. What a lot of people don't realize is that any licensed physician can call himself or herself a cosmetic surgeon! A physician who used to treat heart patients can take a weekend course in a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure and start performing it immediately! Some tips for finding the best plastic surgeon for you: http://www.newimage.com/find-a-cosmetic-plastic-surgeon.aspx A board-certified surgeon or physician is someone who has been evaluated and certified by the governing boards of their medical specialty as having the training and education required to evaluate and treat diseases and conditions or perform medical procedures within that specialty. There are several boards that certify plastic and cosmetic surgeons. These include the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and the American Board of Surgery. http://www.newimage.com/board-certified-doctors.aspx The reason you are consulting with a cosmetic surgeon is to determine if cosmetic surgery is right for you. You and the surgeon will sit down and discuss why you want a face lift or breast augmentation or whatever it is you want done. http://www.newimage.com/plastic-surgery-consultation-question.aspx Hope this helps, best of luck to you!
