I know how you feel. I've always wanted breast implants, but am too scared to get them. I haven't found any really great sites, but i'll keep looking.

A plastic surgeon should be board certified by the american board of plastic surgery. By choosing a plastic surgeon certified by the abps, you can be assured the doctor has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed at least five years of additional residency. To be certified by the abps, a doctor must also practice plastic surgery for two years and pass comprehensive written and oral exams. The exact name of the board is important because there are other boards with similar names that do not indicate the same level of competency.
Your surgeon should complete a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery accredited by the accreditation council on graduate medical education (acgme). In addition, the surgeon should be comfortable performing the procedure in which the patient is interested. Having the right credentials does not necessarily mean the doctor is skilled in specific types of surgery.

It is important that your doctor has hospital privileges to perform the proposed procedure, even in-office procedures. Hospitals give doctors privileges to do procedures that fit under their training guidelines.

How safe is plastic surgery?

All surgical procedures have risks and possible complications, and your doctor will advise you about your specific procedure. In general, cosmetic plastic surgery is only performed on healthy patients, and healthy patients tend to have fewer complications.

I would like to get lipo- suction on my sides, I kinda have a little bit of love handles that botthers me alot. . . And ive always wanted implants.. My mom got them actually (and shes very straight edge so its kinda surprising) but anyhow she likes them alot better.. But at the same time. .. There so expensive and u can run into alot of probs with plastic surgery.. Anyone can mess up, even if their great plastic surgions.

That laser surgey costs between 400-1000 per session. Breast implants are exspensive!! I would have guessed like 3000!

Id probably wait more than a month. Plus it is different for me cause I have c-sections and that is considered major surgery so hey might make me wait for awhile.I really think im going to do it though!
