Importance of Choosing a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon (ASPS)

What Does Board Certification Mean?
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) only certifies surgeons who have completed rigorous education and training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Certification ensures that the surgeon has undergone at least six years of surgical training, with a minimum of three years dedicated to plastic surgery.
A board-certified plastic surgeon is required to pass comprehensive exams that assess both knowledge and skill. They must also commit to ongoing education, staying up to date with the latest techniques and safety standards. This certification is the gold standard in the field, providing patients with confidence in their surgeon’s expertise and qualifications.
Why ASPS Certification Matters
The ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) is the leading professional organization for plastic surgeons in the United States. Choosing a surgeon who is ASPS-certified means they adhere to the highest ethical and safety standards in the industry.
ASPS members operate only in accredited medical facilities, ensuring patient safety. They follow strict guidelines regarding sterile surgical environments, anesthesia practices, and patient care protocols. In addition, they uphold ethical patient interactions and informed consent practices, prioritizing patient well-being over profit-driven motives.
By selecting an ASPS-certified plastic surgeon, patients significantly reduce their risk of complications and increase their chances of achieving natural-looking, satisfying results.
