Choosing a plastic surgeon

[onmyway11 43]

Is there a search engine/website etc that helps you choose a plastic surgeon? I feel overwhelmed by this process. I’ve had 2 consults for Tummy Tuck and neither left me feeling confident. I’m out of referrals from my doc and don’t know where to restart. I’m in Boston. TIA!

Yes - Go to realself.com

agreed - realself.com is good resource, I used that plus a recommendation or two from here on BP to come up with my short list.

You definitely want to feel comfortable with who does your surgery. There are many different ones out there that are good fit for some and not for others. You have to pick one that lines up with how you and him see the process.
It is a lot of homework and research but necessary and worth it in the end. Never go cheap on stuff like this. The one I picked I knew from someone else having surgery with him and I loved his work. When we met up it just clicked and I liked his plan.
Now I met up with other surgeons for consults and did not feel like it was a fit. So it is a process. But don’t try and rush it. Takes time. It’s a lot of money too so you want to make a good decision not rush.
Good luck to you and can’t wait to see updates!
