The most important element in deciding on doing a cosmetic procedure is making an informed decision. Sometimes we live with an element in our appearance that bothers us and getting an elective procedure could be that decision that opens up a whole new world of self-empowerment and confidence about one's appearance. Almost everyone has something they want to improve about their face or body and making the right decisions can optimize those results. I'm doctor James Bradley, a UCLA physician in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

Having trained as a physician and plastic surgery for thirteen years and practiced for nine years, I find that most people seeking some face or body improvements have an idea of want they want but would like some basic guidance. In navigating through what can be a very scary process, selecting the right surgeon is paramount. Important questions to ask include:

1. Is the plastic surgeon board certified (by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons)?
2. Do you have defined goals that you what to achieve with the surgeon?
3. Does the surgeon’s goals match yours? (Are you on the same page with the surgeon?)
4. Are the costs for an elective procedure with the surgeon of your choice within your limits or are you compromising care because of lower fees?
5. Do you connect and communicate with your surgeon?

These are just some of the questions to consider when deciding to do an elective surgery.
