Why is it important to choose a surgeon who is board certified?

Board certification is extremely important because it ensures that surgeons have completed specialized training in their areas of expertise, met the rigorous standards required by their respective boards, as well as completed special examinations. Depending on the type of cosmetic surgery you are going to have, your surgeon should be certified by one of two boards: the American Board of Plastic Surgery - for full body plastic surgery procedures - and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - for facial plastic surgery procedures. All the physicians at the Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery Center are board certified in their areas of expertise. If your doctor is board certified , you are assured that he is highly skilled and can help you achieve the results you desire.  more
