Asked By:james15 in los angeles, ca

I would like to have facial plastic surgery rhinoplasty, chin implant, cheek implants. I would like to know the difference between the american board of plastic surgery and the american board of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. I am only having facial surgery should it matter that the doctor isnt certified by the american board of plastic surgery?? ALso most of these doctors aren't members of the american society of plastic surgeons is this because they only perform facial surgery?
