information about your plastic surgeon. You will get more information about his or her education

surgeon's expertise can really improve your odds in this respect.

fee or other flexible payment options. Some offer discounts to attract new customers or encourage people to come back for more surgery.

after surgery. While plastic surgery is usually relatively minor, it is
still surgery. There can be complications from the anesthetic, or the surgery itself.
Someone should be available to notify your doctor,
in the event of any problems.

a lot you can do to make sure things go right. Take advantage of the thing
