Choosing a surgeon is an important decision especially when we have so many reports of patients suffering adverse outcomes when it comes to cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. 

One of the best things you can do as a patient is to become an educated consumer so that you can make the best decision. You want to make sure that your surgery is performed by a doctor who has specialist registration in a surgical discipline.
