As with adults, teens should take care to pick the right surgeons for their plastic surgery. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help give a realistic picture of what to expect (board-certified means the doctor has passed a standard exam given by the governing board in his or her specialty). Cosmetic surgeries can also be done by experienced and board-certified general surgeons, dermatologists, otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat specialists), and ophthalmologists (eye doctors).
