Now shes a proud C cup and has never looked back.

But you have to be careful about choosing the right professional to do the job.

Here’s what they suggest you do.

First, consider those close to you.

Has anyone had work done?

If youre comfortable, reach out to him or her for advice.

Dont know anyone personally?

Ask around for a connection.

In the same vein, be careful when considering before and after photos.

Most doctors will showcase these pictures on their website or will send examples at a patients request.

Golas warns that not all surgeons display their work honestly.

Manipulating these factors to improve the appearance of after pictures is a simple commonly used trick.

Its also smart to watch out for doctors who appear to rely too heavily on advertising.

Found a few options?

),laser treatments,chemical peels, or dermabrasions.

Just how much supervision these providers actually get varies widely.

Keep in mind that non-invasive doesnt mean 100 percent safe.

Youll want to ensure that your chosen candidates are well trained in your area of concern.

Examples of this include an ob/gyn who performs liposuction or family physician who is injecting Botox.

Whether or not the doctors youre considering have hospital privileges is another qualification box youll want to check off.

This was an important factor for Ryan when it came to making her decision.

It’s also a good time to clarify costs.

see to it all the fees are discussed before surgery so there are no surprises.

Sometimes you’ve got the option to get financing or procedure incentives.

Most treatments have a set price but also have package prices for more than one treatment.

But remember that plastic surgery is not something you’re able to get for cheap.

Fair, but not cheap, pricing is another mark of a good plastic surgeon.

While youre asking questions, be wary of red flags.

An obvious, but important, one is a surgeons bedside manner.

When the doctor came into the office, he immediately commiserated with me and my situation.

Another red flag is a surgeon not discussing realistic outcomes, including both pros and cons of the procedure.

There is no such thing as a procedure without positives and potential negatives, says Few.

Maury was relieved when her doctor gave her his honest perspective for her surgical outcomes.

Still, he left the decision up to me.

You want to feel comfortable where you’ll be having the procedure.

Above all it should be clean.

It passed the sniff test of being super clean and sterile, so I was sold.

In the end, I would say it was equally as important as choosing the surgeon himself.

The relationship you have with your plastic surgeon is a private and personal one.

It takes the right kind of connection and fuse of personalities to create the right match.

For this reason, experts and patients agree that taking your time is key.

It ended up taking much less time than I thought.
