Plastic surgeons perform cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery for the face and body.
After a plastic surgeon has earned a medical degree, additional training usually includes a one-year surgical internship, followed by at least four years of residency training in plastic surgery. You can find board-certified plastic surgeon listings on RealSelf.com in our plastic surgeon directory.
