Would you consider going to a brand new Plastic Surgeon if he was the only surgeon

Would you consider going to a brand new Plastic Surgeon if he was the only PS under your insurance network? I was just recently approved for an abdominoplasty. My choices are: A) Go to the surgeon who is OUT of network, but has a decade of experience, with good references, approximate cost to me is $3500. He would do full abdominoplasty ONLY. B) Go to the surgeon who is IN network, but BRAND NEW. He just started his practice in July of this year. He finished 3 years of general surgery residency, and then an additional two years of plastic surgery residency, several months of which was in a post-bariatric plastic surgery hospital. He would do belt lipectomy, which would be the full abdominoplasty, hips liposuctioned, buttocks pulled up. I would be out of pocket around $600 with him. I felt comfortable with him, but I'm not sure that it's not just because I would save a lot of money, and get more "fixed." HELP! What would you do?
