Experience / caring: You should choose a plastic surgeon who has demonstrated proficiency in the area you seek treatment. If this is an unusual procedure, they should relate the risks, alternatives and benefits. Discuss your expectations and the ability to meet your goals. You should feel comfortable communicating with the surgeon.

Experience ; caring: There are many qualities that are desirable. Compassion, experience, creativity, artistry and communication are a few. Take a gander at the surgeon's web, ask around and look at before and after pics. But have a consultation to see if you jive with him or her. www.artofplasticsurgery.com.
