What's the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a board certified plastic surgeon?
Plastic surgery is a specific and detailed specialty. If someone is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, it means that they have been held to the highest standards as it pertains to skills, knowledge, judgment, safety and ethics in that particular specialty. The title Cosmetic Surgeon has no specific qualifications of educational standards. Often times, doctors who call themselves cosmetic surgeons typically belong to another board and can be a specialist in any number of medical areas. When you choose a board certified plastic surgeon you are ensuring a higher level of expertise and training for your personal care.
