Choosing a Boca Raton Plastic Surgeon

Why Board Certifications Make All the Difference in the World

When considering plastic surgery, the most difficult decision you will face is determining which doctor in the multitude of Boca Raton plastic surgeons to have perform the procedure. After all, this is not a simple haircut. It is important to do your research and find a qualified and experienced surgeon who will leave you comfortable and happy with your results the first time around.  No one wants to undergo any revision surgery if they can help it. However, if you are unsatisfied with your previous surgery results, it is even more imperative to pick the right surgeon this time around.

Cosmetic Surgeon versus Plastic Surgeon

Many people who undergo plastic surgery make the mistake of assuming the terms “cosmetic surgeon” and “plastic surgeon” are interchangeable, which is understandable given the way they’re often used in advertisements. Any doctor can legally perform cosmetic surgeries and procedures, but that does not necessarily mean they are qualified to do so. The distinction between the two is that in order to call oneself a plastic surgeon, a doctor must complete the requisite Plastic Surgery training and Plastic Surgery board certification. This process consists of specialized Plastic Surgery residency and education following a 5 to 6 year track of surgical residencies, passing oral and written exams in the original surgical training and then even more in the specialty of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and finally facing a rigorous peer review board.  Furthermore, not all boards are legitimate, the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only board sanctioned by the American Board of Medical Specialties (the all-encompassing board that supervises 24 medical specialty boards) to certify doctors as experts in Plastic Surgery. You want your surgery or cosmetic procedure to be performed by a highly-trained, qualified Plastic Surgeon. That’s why you should never even consider a doctor who is not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
