Why Choosing a Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Matters
When choosing to undergo facial plastic surgery, the most vitally important decision you will make is the selection of your plastic surgeon. Facial plastic surgery is a highly complex field, and in order to achieve optimal surgical results, your cosmetic facial surgery should be performed by a plastic surgeon who not only specializes in the field of otolaryngology (surgery of the head and neck), but is also board certified by a widely respected medical board.
Board certification is a voluntary program through which plastic surgeons seek to develop their skills and demonstrate a strong commitment to their profession. Plastic surgeons can attain certification through a number of boards, and discerning exactly what board certification means and which boards are the most reputable may seem like a daunting challenge.

Successfully passed a two-day written and oral examination
Has a minimum of 100 post-operative facial plastic surgery reports that have been accepted by a peer-review committee
Has an acceptable record of at least two years' clinical experience
