Our board-certified facial cosmetic surgeons go above and beyond
Did you know that medical residencies in the United States are oriented around medically necessary procedures and not intended to provide cosmetic surgery training? Individuals wishing to become cosmetic surgeons therefore must pursue private cosmetic surgery training after becoming licensed to practice medicine. But how are patients to know if that training was of high quality, and if a surgeon is indeed qualified to perform aesthetic facial procedures? This is where the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery (ABFCS) comes in.
