What It Means to Be a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

board-certified plastic surgeon

If you are planning to undergo breast augmentation in the West Palm Beach area, you may focus on finding a plastic surgeon who will offer you the best experience at a cost you can afford. However, it is essential that you get a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform your procedure. No matter how great a “deal” you are promised on your breast augmentation surgeon of choice, you must ensure that your health and safety are guaranteed by working with a properly trained and certified plastic surgeon.

What It Means 

Board certifications confuse most people. A simple search through the Yellow Pages or newspaper advertisements and you will find hundreds of cosmetic surgeons promoting all kinds of membership affiliations and board certifications. So, how to do you make sense of all of them?

Every certifying board requires different levels of surgical training and experience, and you should learn about the different requirements. In other words, not all board-certified surgeons are trained for certain plastic surgery procedures. For instance, a surgeon who is certified for liposuction may not be skilled to perform a tummy tuck procedure.

A board certification is not a guarantee for a successful outcome. That said, some certifying boards, such as the American Board of Plastic Surgery, do require extensive medical training and experience. Thus, you can have the peace of mind knowing that a plastic surgeon certified by such bodies has the adequate competency to deliver a successful cosmetic procedure. As a rule of thumb, be sure to find out the doctor’s education and training, certification, as well as experience before scheduling the procedure.

Why Board Certification is Important

As already mentioned, board certification does not guarantee that you will obtain the desired outcome from the cosmetic surgery procedure or that it will be free of any complication. However, it gives you the peace of mind that you are dealing with a fully trained and experienced surgeon. The surgeon’s training, skills and experience play a crucial role in cosmetic surgery results. Just like with every profession, some surgeons are better than others. As such, you want to make sure you choose a board-certified plastic surgeon.

If you’ve been looking for a board-certified plastic surgeon, choose Dr. Avron Lipschitz at Athena Plastic Surgery in Stuart and Palm Beach Gardens. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
