BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few helpful
answers.
How do I check a plastic surgeon’s credentials?
Check the surgeon’s medical license with the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and confirm plastic surgery board certification with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Ask about experience with your procedure, where surgery takes place, and who provides anesthesia.

What should a surgery price quote include?
Request an itemized quote covering the surgeon, anesthesia, facility, and any implants or supplies. Ask which follow-up visits are included and what additional costs could arise. Compare quotes for the same planned procedure.
What should I ask at a consultation?
Ask about the clinician’s relevant training and credentials, whether the procedure suits your circumstances, alternatives, risks, recovery, fees and follow-up arrangements.
How much time should I allow for recovery?
Recovery depends on the procedure, your health, and the activities you need to resume. Ask separately about desk work, driving, lifting, exercise, and childcare. Arrange help and follow-up visits around the plan your surgeon recommends.
