What is the Value of a Board Certified, Physician Plastic Surgeon?

You can trust that a physician certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons or American Board of Surgeons meets nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, skills and experience. This assures your surgeon is not only licensed, but also has the specialized medical and safety training, certification, peer recognition, and experience necessary for the best outcome of your plastic surgery.

Any individual can claim to be a doctor, cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon. Only board certified physician plastic surgeons have the necessary skills and experience to ensure your health, safety and best surgical outcome. Make it your top priority to check a doctor’s credentials. Your doctor should have the necessary training and certification appropriate to the procedure.
