Facial Plastic Surgeon vs. Plastic Surgeon

Feeling confident in your surgeon’s ability to achieve your aesthetic goals is critical to the quality of your results, especially with regard to enhancement of the complex facial framework. While both plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons are trained in the improvement, as well as the reparation, of external and internal body structures, plastic surgeons often have different levels of experience working with the intricate structures of the face. Furthermore, a plastic surgeon may offer facial procedures, but in general, the focus of their training is not usually dedicated to facial plastic surgery exclusively.

More often than not, selecting a facial plastic surgeon to perform your treatment is the best way to ensure you are in the hands of a facial specialist who is highly experienced working with the anatomy and aesthetics of the face. To be considered a “facial plastic surgeon,” one must complete comprehensive otolaryngological (procedures of the head and neck) training beyond general and plastic surgery, a concentration that may not be as extensively practiced or explored in the instruction of plastic surgeons. With a facial plastic surgeon whose career and expertise is solely encompassed by surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement of the face and neck, you can feel confident that you are receiving the highest standard of skill, knowledge, and safety during surgery— expertise that you deserve in your aesthetic enhancement.

Why is Board-Certification Important for Facial Plastic Surgeons?

The choice to pursue facial plastic surgery is a transformative decision that can positively impact your life, self-confidence, and well-being. When considering whether or not to undergo cosmetic facial enhancement, it is essential to entrust your care with a surgeon who is well-equipped to make your cosmetic goals a reality while personalizing the procedure to address your unique needs. This aptitude can often be gauged from a plastic surgeon’s board-certification.

Generally speaking, after completing plastic surgery residencies, facial plastic surgeons have the option of earning board-certification from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS). Certification is achieved by completing rigorous written and practical training requirements in otolaryngological surgery beyond the minimum required to legally practice. With this in mind, accreditation can demonstrate a higher level of surgical experience, ongoing education, and commitment to the codes of safety and ethical treatment when compared to those who are not board-certified. Simply put, board-certification can speak volumes about a facial plastic surgeon’s commitment to excellence in their craft, which is a quality that can be vital to achieving the aesthetic outcome you desire.
