What does "fellow" mean on a American boards of cosmetic surgery diploma? Does it mean they are board certified? Less certified? More certified? I'm freaking out my mommy makeover is coming so fast I should know these things right?

Answer: 'Fellow' of medical society - what does that mean ? In general, if someone is a 'Fellow' of a medical society, he/she has been certified by the related medical examination board. 'Cosmetic Surgeons' are not plastic surgeons - make sure you carefully review the credentials of the individual that you have consulted with. If you're looking for a board certified plastic surgeon, that individual is unlikely to be a 'cosmetic surgery' organization. Plastic Surgeons typically are 'Fellows' of the American College of Surgeons (but not always). Totally confusing, I know.

Answer: "Fellow" means a member of a particular border specialty .A fellow of the American Board of plastic surgery would be considered board-certified. This is a good place to start when looking for an elective aesthetic procedure
