Things to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon: He or She * Is well recognized from his/her peers * Is board-certified in plastic surgery * Has hospital privileges * Is a member of a recognized medical society * Is well recognized throughout community * He/she is fellowship trained in their specialty field Be wary of a plastic surgeon who: * Is not affiliated with any hospitals * Has serious disciplinary actions issued against him/her * Does not explain pros and cons clearly, and is eager to start surgery * Has a rude and/or unprofessional staff * Is not certified with American Board of Medical Specialists in plastic surgery. Make sure your surgeon is board-certified in plastic surgery with American Board of Medical Specialists (abms.org). It is governing board of 24 member boards, and most approved and accredited credentialing board in America. Check with Federation of State Medical Boards (fsmb.org) regarding disciplinary actions. The FSMB is a national association with membership consisting of 68 medical-licensing state boards. All states are included; therefore one search can determine if your doctor has ever been disciplined in any state.
