How To Choose A Certified Plastic Surgeon


When choosing a plastic surgeon, it is important to consider a number of factors. Medical training and surgical experience are primary indicators of the surgeon’s qualifications.  Board certification is another important criterion. No single factor can guarantee you the best doctor for a specific procedure. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which surgeon is best for your specific goals and expectations.
To become a plastic surgeon, a doctor must obtain an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree. Following this, there are several paths the doctor may follow. Many doctors now spend five to six years in an integrated plastic surgery residency, although some complete three years of general surgery and two years in plastic surgery. 

What does it mean to be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?
Choosing a Board certified surgeon can be a very tough job because of the personal information being shared. Just open the yellow pages, magazines, brochures or view news paper advertisements and you’ll find plastic surgeons promoting all kinds of society memberships and board certifications but don’t be confused between boards and societies. Societies are merely professional associations. Board certification is the minimum criterion you should use in selecting a plastic surgeon. So, it is very important that you learn about the doctor’s education, training, certification, and experience in order to guarantee a successful outcome and to make the best choice.

Beware of lots of Letters after the Doctor’s Name:
Many fraudulent doctors’ have quite a few letters after their names. In fact, multiple letters may be the telltale sign of an inadequately trained doctor trying to impress the public. Definitely, your doctor should have the letters M.D (Medical Doctor) or D.O (Doctor of Osteopathy) after his name. He might even have one or more master’s degrees or might also have PhD but these degrees are irrelevant to plastic surgery. Patients are advised to select a board certified plastic surgeon.
