If you get it done, do it for yourself, not anybody else.

Where I currently reside, Newport Beach, I have seen the excellent (can't tell), good (can tell but it looks great), the bad (overdone) and the ugly (botched). Whatever you do, check out past work by the surgeon, his track record with patient complaints/problems and whether or not he is board certified. They have before and after photos of past patients. Usually the receptionist and other women who work for the surgeon have had work done for free by the surgeon. They are essentially walking billboards. The surgeon may also refer you to a past patient or two. A good surgeon will also advise you as to how good a candidate you and how good your outcome might be based on your skin, facial structure and the like. Also, it may take a year or two for your surgery to "settle" into its final look.

Above all, remember, there is risk with any surgical procedure!
