It’s always best to remember that cosmetic enhancements – whether it’s breast augmentation or a Botox injection – are medical procedures. As such, patients should take the time to research the benefits and risks of plastic surgery before making any major decisions. The first step in the process is reaching out to a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide sound advice about which procedures would work best for you.
