Many Resources.: I would suggest starting with the american society of plastic surgery and/or the american board of plastic surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
 then, i would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices  concentrate on the type of surgery. Ask  to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures.

Plastic surgery: Look for a board certified plastic surgeon who performs the procedure you desire. Many doctors may only perform body surgery and not facial plastic surgery. Look at the doctors before and after pictures. Above all feel like you trust the doctor you choose.
