When considering cosmetic surgery, such as breast augmentation, one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is selecting the right surgeon. Opting for a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures that you receive the highest standard of care and expertise. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our team, led by Dr. Keith Neaman and Dr. Dustin Christiansen, is dedicated to providing exceptional surgical outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.
Why Board Certification Matters
Board certification is not just a title; it represents rigorous training and a commitment to excellence in the field of plastic surgery. Here are key reasons why you should choose a board-certified plastic surgeon:
- Extensive Training: Board-certified surgeons undergo at least six years of surgical training after medical school, with a minimum of three years specifically focused on plastic surgery. This extensive education prepares them to perform complex procedures safely and effectively.
- Commitment to Safety: Board-certified surgeons are required to operate in accredited facilities that meet stringent safety standards. This commitment significantly reduces the risk of complications during and after surgery.
- Up-to-Date Knowledge: Continuing education is mandatory for board-certified surgeons, ensuring they stay current with the latest techniques and advancements in the field.
Common Questions About Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons
As you consider your options for plastic surgery, you may have several questions regarding board certification:
What does it mean to be board certified?
A board-certified plastic surgeon has completed extensive training beyond medical school, passed rigorous examinations, and adheres to high ethical standards set by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Are all cosmetic surgeons board certified?
No, not all cosmetic surgeons are board certified by the ABPS. Some may hold certifications from less recognized boards, which do not require the same level of training or expertise.
