Selecting a well-trained,
experienced and qualified plastic surgeon is an extremely important
decision. As you probably know, our physicians belong to the American
Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Inc. (ASPRS) which is
a professional society dedicated to quality care for plastic surgery
patients through education, research and the promotion of high professional
standards. Belonging to ASPRS means they are also certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery.
Checking a doctor's
qualifications and privileges at hospitals and medical centers is also
an important, helpful way of checking eligibitity. However, the tried
and true tale of talking to your friends or people who have had cosmetic
surgery is most always an excellent resource.
