Your final result from plastic surgery will be determined far more by your choice of surgeon than by which facelift technique is used or which breast implant you choose. Not only is this your most important choice, it is also the hardest one to make. One thing on your side is that this is elective surgery, and totally non-urgent. If you make a pact with yourself to wait until you are 100% comfortable, you will have the breathing space to choose the right plastic surgeon for yourself.

Realize that there are two sets of issues to look at, one objective, and the other subjective. Objectively, you must determine that the plastic surgeon is safe and well-trained. Only after they have cleared that hurdle, can you look at the subjective criteria, namely whether the doctor's ability, aesthetic, style, and approach is a good match for you.
