If you are considering plastic surgery, you may find the following list of curated resources helpful.
Plastic Surgery Resources
Consumer Guides
A plastic surgery consumer guide is a valuable resource which could give you details about your rights as a consumer. It also looks at the various plastic surgery options available, what each procedure involves, and the costs.
A useful consumer guide should also explains the benefits of each procedure and provides you with information about any risks involved. Such a guide should never be a sales document but a thoroughly reviewed resource that provides unbiased information.
The Los Angeles based Fountain of Youth Plastic Surgery Clinic has a guide which you can download as a PDF. The guide is useful for someone with questions such as:
- What will I look like after the surgery?
- Is the procedure safe?
- Do I need to apply for sick leave to do the procedure?
- How much will I pay?
- How do I identify a suitable plastic surgeon?
There are also Advocacy groups that look into the interests of consumers. One such group is under the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The group advocates for the improving standards of patient safety.
Patient Safety
When considering plastic surgery, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is very important. Whether it's cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, it is to your advantage to understand the safety procedures.

Video Gallery
Generally, people are more likely to watch a video than read a wall of text. Hence, video galleries have become one of the most valuable sources for people looking for information on plastic surgery.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health Department has a useful page with plastic surgery videos. These videos explain different conditions that can be rectified by plastic surgery such as acne, scars, and wrinkles. You can see an example of the information provided by these videos here.
It is always essential to ensure that credible organizations review the video galleries you use. One of the most significant advantages of information made available by such institutions like UCLA is that it results from the rigorous study of a subject by experts. It is different from the information you get from unverified sources such as YouTube or social media networks. There is usually no one to verify the authenticity of the claims made on less formal channels.
Several credible organisations such as the New York University (NYU) also have channels on such networks. You can watch a face transplant performed at the university which was shared using a 3D animation on YouTube here.
