Can a doctor who specializes in a field other than plastic surgery be allowed to perform surgery?

Asked By:Angelface424 in Long Island, NY

Found a doctor who has a Bachelors degree in science of BME. He was a board certified family physician. Also a radiologist. Specializes in endovenous laser therapy for varicose veins. Offered me a good deal for lipo & fat transfer to breast & buttocks. Facility seems legit (named after him) Only issue is, no degree in cosmetic surgery. Is he allowed or qualified to perform surgery? Don't know much about the fields he specializes in. Also, site states he's authorized to practice in all 50 states.
