If you decide breast augmentation surgery is right for you, you need to choose a qualified surgeon you can trust. Make sure your surgeon is board certified, which ensures that he or she has the qualifications, training and experience necessary to perform the surgery safely and skillfully. A board certified plastic surgeon will also be able to give you the guidance you’ll need in order to make an informed decision.

To ensure that you choose a surgeon appropriately qualified to perform plastic surgery, physicians you consider should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and hold membership in either the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) or the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). If you don’t see either of these logos associated with your surgeon, you may want to  reconsider.
