Is it safe to have a BBL with a non board certified surgeon but has California certification?

There are numerous practitioners of cosmetic surgery. However, only a select few are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties):"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. 
With regards to your specific question, you need to ask yourself...what is a cosmetic surgeon? What sort of training have they had? When you are consulting with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, you know the answers.
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.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..Based on your question, the ideal is that you are consulted and operated by a certified plastic surgeon. For some reason, non-certified doctors do not belong to society because they do not meet the requirements.

I would not take that risk if I were you! Make sure that the plastic surgeon who performs your BBL is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (a specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialites (ABMS)).  It is horrifying how there are a number of “boards” within the realm of medicine that is not recognized by the ABMS. Sadly, the general public is not aware of the difference and is fooled by these commercial entities.  Specialties that are officially recognized by the ABMS have comprehensive residency programs with very strict criteria.  ABPS board certified plastic surgeons all went through 6-8 years of rigorous residency training (after years of undergrad and medical education) in a limited number of accredited residency programs in the US.  We then had to pass written and oral examinations and had our surgical case lists scrutinized by the board to  ensure that they satisfied their safety and ethical standards.   Also, alot of the deadly complications of BBL you hear in the press had been performed by non board certified plastic surgeons.  Be careful!Goretti H.
