If You Think All Plastic Surgeons Are The Same* . . . Think Again!

*Virtually all Cosmetic Surgeons are NOT Board Certified Plastic Surgeons

They are physicians from other specialties who may have only taken a week-end course in cosmetic procedures. They are not Board Certified or Board Eligible in plastic and reconstructive surgery. They are not credentialed or granted surgical privileges to perform cosmetic procedures in most hospitals.
