01 | How to find a Plastic Surgeon?
As well as nobody would choose an orthopedic surgeon to operate his/her heart, there is no reason to choose a specialist who is not a Plastic Surgeon for going on a Cosmetic surgery. It’s recommended to meet a certified Plastic Surgeon like Dr López who is a member of the Society of Plastic Surgery of Buenos Aires.
