Didn't have any luck with this on AO, so hopefully I won't regret resorting to the GB too much

One of my coworkers is too embarrassed to ask this question of her own network of people, so I'm hoping you fine people can be of assistance.

She is looking at having some liposuction done and maybe breast augmentation. Of course the surgeon websites are going to have glowing reviews and only the best before/after pictures, so she is looking for suggestions on the best way to independently evaluate surgeons to make an informed decision.

I think her desire for lipo and a boob job probably mitigate Rule #1.

I think you should let us decide that!

Does she at least have a pretty face, or is it busted too?

go to different doctors, ask how they will fix your ugly.


The one that says he cant is probably the most reputable

So I had plastic surgeon remove a growth from my face as a child and he no longer practices but it was a recommendation of my dermatologist at the time.

Recently I have had good luck asking my doctors for recommendations for other specialties. I am not sure if this would work for plastic surgery, but it can't be any worse than the website approach.

There is a guy that used to perform lipo (cash only) in a back room at Cole's Flea Market off Hwy 35 in Pearland. Despite using a wet-dry-vac to shape the abdomen area, his work left patients mostly satisfied with limited scarring.

I know a vet that recommends that when you move to a new area you call up vets and ask them to list the top 3 they'd take their own pets to if they can't do it themselves. Perhaps have her call around and do the same?

I'll give her the name of mind if I'm satisfied with the results I get

Go to a strip club and find a look you like then ask her who did the work.

Lots of answers to questions (not just pictures) on his website, Facebook, and blog. I think he offers a free consultation. He has an all inclusive payment system also if he does your procedures in his surgical suite. This is very convenient and saves you money. Good luck to her!
