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.
