Newport Beach Plastic
Surgery |
When looking for a
cosmetic surgeon in Newport Beach or
the greater Orange County area, it
is sometimes difficult to sift
through the mountain of information
about plastic surgery and plastic
surgeons on the web. It
may be hard to believe, but just
about anybody can open an office and
call themselves "Orange County
cosmetic surgeons" or "Newport Beach
plastic surgeons". They may not even
be an M.D.!
Here is where you should start. In order to become a plastic surgeon, it takes
5-8 years of training in plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery at an accredited
hospital or university medical center. This training takes place after the
graduation from a 4-year medical school. Make sure that your plastic surgeon has
been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only organization
recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for certifying surgeons
to perform cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery procedures. It takes at least
two years of practicing the art and science of plastic surgery and cosmetic
surgery before you can even be considered for certification by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery. Also, look for the "Symbol of Excellence" which
indicates that your plastic surgeon is a proud member of the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons.
