Does your doctor have to be a board certified in plastic surgery to perform liposuction and BBL procedure?

Asked By:ramosdoll21 in Battle Mountain, NV

I had a consult with a doctor today for a BBL. He does his procedures under local anesthesia in a room located in his office building. He is an internist as well. I looked him up after my consult an cannot find his name on the Board Certification for Plastic Surgeons. Is this right? Can he still perform BBL and lipo if he does not have a Board Certification in plastic surgery?
