Due Diligence

• Confirm ABPS board certification.
• Request procedure-specific before/after galleries.
• Discuss technique (Z-plasty, W-plasty, laser, dermabrasion, excision, fat grafting).
• Understand realistic expectations and revision rates.

Choose a surgeon whose aesthetic judgment aligns with your goals and who communicates transparently.
