As plastic surgery becomes more accepted and the demand for it grows, it has become increasingly accessible to the public.

When it comes to your surgery, your body deserves to be in the hands of a highly trained surgeon who is ethical and qualified to safely give you satisfying aesthetic results. So how do you know who that surgeon is? This is where board certification comes in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When a plastic surgeon is board-certified it means that they have been reviewed by a board and accredited to be highly trained and qualified surgeons with appropriate knowledge and hands-on experience to provide safe and ethical plastic surgery. It also means that they are committed to maintaining a high level of quality care as a surgeon. Board-certified plastic surgeons must complete a minimum of 150 credits of Continuing Medical Education credits within three years of being certified to ensure that they stay current on the best and newest practices and procedures. Throughout their career, they are required to be in a program that makes sure they continue to meet the qualifications to be considered a board-certified plastic surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For a plastic surgeon to become board-certified they need to be highly trained and also go through a rigorous examination process. They need to have graduated from a recognized medical school and have completed at least five years of approved surgical experience. Two years of this surgical experience will consist of the plastic surgery residency. The examination process is made up of written and oral exams. Part of the oral exam is that the plastic surgeon will need to present their case to a board and discuss their surgical experience.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you want your beautiful expertly-crafted results done safely, your best option is to go with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Many times that surgeries are done incorrectly and a patient is unsatisfied with the final look, it is because the surgeon was not experienced enough with the procedure and was not board-certified. Even minimally invasive treatments like injectables, such as fillers or Botox, can leave a patient looking botched or disfigured if done incorrectly. A board-certified surgeon is guaranteed to have years of experience in plastic surgery. They will have an extensive list of former patients that they have performed procedures on and often you will be able to see true \u201cbefore and after\u201d images that prove their surgical abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Premier Plastic Surgery is operated by our founder Dr. Brian V.
