Importance of Board Certification for Plastic Surgeons

The first and often most important decision you can make when it comes to plastic surgery is often the first one: selecting your doctor. Choosing a board certified plastic surgeon can give you confidence that your physician is extensively trained, knowledgeable, and experienced. To become board certified, a physician must complete general and plastic surgery residencies at accredited facilities and go through a rigorous evaluation process that includes oral and written exams. The American Board of Plastic Surgery currently requires members to renew their certification every 10 years to maintain their standing. You can confirm your plastic surgeon is certified by checking the official website for The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
