Make sure you know what filler your doctor is using. Free floating silicone, especially for breast enlargement,should never be used. This is because he masks the ability to screen for cancer. (The material in gel implants however has been approved by the FDA and is enclosed in the implant shell.)

So again, make sure you are fully informed of what you are putting in your body. In the US, chose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Remember , just because someone wears a white coat doesn’t mean their intentions are pure.

If you are interested in surgery, fillers or Botox, please make sure you are receiving these services from a Board Certified surgeon and make sure that you understand all of the services the price includes. For example, many surgeons charge extra for garments, photos, “cosmeceuticals” and other extras that should be explained before you sign on the dotted line. Also, and most importantly, make sure the surgery is performed in a certified operating facility.

Remember, we have to make a living just like everyone else but safety, care and honesty never changes.
