Disclaimer: this did not occurred not in the state of California. Is this borderline unethical/ potentially false advertising for a surgeon to advertise themselves a triple bird certified when the other two "boards" are American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and member of American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery ? The only "legit" board certification that they have is for General Surgery.
Answer: Boards These two cosmetic "Boards" were established for those who wished to do plastic surgery and were not trained as plastic surgeons. They cannot legally call themselves plastic surgeons, so they call themselves cosmetic surgeons. Many in the public do not understand the differences. The American Board of Plastic Surgery has tried fighting this in the past. Plastic surgeons always call themselves plastic surgeons and not cosmetic surgeons.

Answer: Plastic Surgeon vs. Cosmetic Surgeon This is a great question and highlights why we encourage our patients to do research just as you have. There is a vast difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon. A board certified plastic surgeon has extensive training that includes at least six years of surgical residency focusing on cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. This helps ensure quality and safety for your procedure.

Answer: This is what we are fighting for The unfortunate answer is no, it's legal (and they wholeheartedly believe, ethical) to advertise state board certification with non-ABMS recognized boards. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Someone can perform virtually any procedure or treatment of any sort without having been formally been trained, e.g. California dentists can perform facelifts after weekend course, and any MD can perform the array of cosmetic surgical procedures in any state. Why? Because the forces of capitalism (lobbyists' money) are at work in both state and federal governments, preventing any lawmaker from passing sensible legislation to protect people.

Answer: What is real board certification? This is a great topic and question to have discussed and inform potential patients. The American Board of medical specialties is the only recognize legitimate board certifying agency in the United States. If the board is not under the hospices of the American Board of medical specialties, it shall be labeled as a sham board. The only cosmetic or aesthetic that is recognized is the American board of Plastic surgery . No other board is recognized as being board certified in cosmetic and Plastic surgery . To discuss or address with your states medical board on their website there is always a question and answer section. In the state of Florida, there is a strict rule past in the late 1990s about truth and advertising, and it was reaffirmed recently this year . The physician, doctor or surgeon must specify the legitimate boards that he is board-certified in specific terms. If you have any other questions, I’m more than happy to do a virtual consult. Good luck.
