Choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon |
||
|
With the popularity of plastic surgery soaring, the number of physicians trying to meet the demand for this specialty has grown tremendously. Consumers should be aware that any licensed physician can call himself or herself a cosmetic surgeon, even without completing any formal training in plastic surgery. Common sense tells us that to achieve the best outcome in a sophisticated field, such as plastic surgery, it is always best to seek the best trained and skilled practitioners to provide this care. Therefore, it is important for consumers to find a properly trained and certified provider. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is "the gold standard" for plastic surgeons because it signifies that the surgeon has had formal instruction in an accredited plastic surgery training program. |
