I recently went for a consultation for Bodytite and found the doctor isn’t a board Certified plastic surgeon. He’s a board Certified internist, for BodyTite. Should I only use a board Certified plastic surgeon for the procedure?Should I find one who is?

Answer: Should BodyTite only be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon? Hello Mic1021,Great question. You are better off visiting a board certified plastic surgeon. Not every surgeon has been certified trained. Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: BodyTite and Board Certification There are numerous practitioners of cosmetic surgery. However, only a select few are board certified by their national board of plastic surgery. According to the ABPS, "the American Board of Plastic Surgery aims to produce safe, ethical plastic surgeons with an extensive knowledge of the entire spectrum of plastic surgery, who are able to represent our specialty in the highest standards. All patients seeking plastic surgery procedures should do their homework before choosing their surgeon. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is a qualification not easily obtained, which demonstrates a high level of training and education, necessary for optimal results and patient satisfaction." More specifically...board certification ensures completion of a rigorous training program of at least 6 years (with at least 3 years of dedicated plastic surgery training. Board certified surgeons have also completed written and oral examinations to determine competency and participate in a continuing medical education programs as a prerequisite of maintaining certification. Ultimately, certification ensures a measure of certainty when comparing surgeons. You can be assured that your board certified plastic surgeon has seen and treated it all before and is uniquely qualified to manage you pre-operatively, intra-operatively, and most importantly post-operatively.With regards to your specific question, you do not need to be a baord certified plastic surgeon to operate a BodyTite device. The more appropriate question is whether or not you want a board certified plastic surgeon performing your plastic surgical procedure. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Member: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgeons RealSelf Top 100 RealSelf Hall of Fame
