Featured Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Blogs

The terminology cosmetic plastic surgery is derived from the confusion surrounding the term plastic surgery. Plastic surgery has traditionally described the science of medicine dedicated to both improving your appearance, i.e. cosmetic and correcting deformities, i.e. reconstructive. Additionally, plastic surgeons have a specific training path that they must complete to provide them with the ability to perform both reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. Plastic surgeons who complete their training may obtain their board certification through the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

In contrast, any physician is able to perform cosmetic surgeries as long as a client consents to them doing so. As such, physicians who have a passion for cosmetic surgery may obtain appropriate training through the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and may even obtain a certificate following a fellowship training through the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. These differentiations may seem semantics to the lay public, but they are under much scrutiny and controversy. At SurgiSculpt, we employ cosmetic and plastic surgeons who are passionate about performing high definition body contouring.
