Why It Matters
Board certification is not optional.
Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery means your surgeon has completed at least six years of accredited training and passed rigorous oral and written exams across every aspect of plastic surgery. It is the only board approved by the ABMS to certify plastic surgeons of the face and body.
