I’m looking to have a revision rhinoplasty in Mexico City. I found a doctor I like and is certified by the ASPS…does this mean they are automatically board certified by ABPS? When I go to the ABPS website I can not find them there…but they claim to be “board certified” in the US just not specific to what board.
