Q. What is Facial Cosmetic Surgery?

Facial Cosmetic Surgery is a specialized field that focuses on enhancing the appearance of the face using both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Its primary goal is to either restore or improve the aesthetic features of the face, working towards a natural or enhanced version of one’s appearance.

Facial Cosmetic Surgeons aim to maintain or improve normal facial features to meet the aesthetic goals of patients. This field involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes the head and neck region and incorporates various medical and surgical disciplines.

The practice requires specific expertise in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the basic sciences, which are foundational for these specialists. Facial Cosmetic Surgeons are fully trained physicians who continue their education beyond residency, refining their skills and expanding their knowledge across different specialties to achieve the highest standards of care.

Q. How is Facial Cosmetic Surgery different from Plastic Surgery?

While both Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery focus on the body’s appearance, they serve different purposes:

• Cosmetic Surgery: This discipline focuses on enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the face and body, often through elective procedures. Cosmetic surgery aims to improve or refine features that function normally but may not meet an individual’s aesthetic desires.

• Plastic Surgery: Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with the reconstruction of body parts that have been damaged due to trauma, congenital defects, burns, or disease. It is mainly focused on restoring function and form to damaged or deformed body areas.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery, specifically, deals with aesthetic enhancements of the face and is performed by specialists across various medical fields such as dermatology, general surgery, and oral-maxillofacial surgery. In contrast, plastic surgery involves reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring function or correcting physical deformities.

Q. What kind of training do Facial Cosmetic Surgeons undergo?

Currently, no residency programs in the U.S. are dedicated exclusively to Facial Cosmetic Surgery. Instead, surgeons interested in this specialty must undergo additional training after their initial residency. This post-residency training, known as a fellowship, typically lasts one to two years and focuses specifically on cosmetic surgery techniques.

The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) is the key accreditation body for facial cosmetic surgeons, offering fellowship programs accredited in facial cosmetic surgery. It’s essential to recognize that residency training in fields like plastic surgery, oral-maxillofacial surgery, or ophthalmology does not necessarily include cosmetic surgery training.

Q. How do I find a qualified Facial Cosmetic Surgeon?

Choosing the right facial cosmetic surgeon requires careful consideration of their training, experience, and proven competence in the specific procedure you want. Board certification in plastic surgery doesn’t necessarily mean the surgeon has expertise in cosmetic procedures. For instance, a board-certified plastic surgeon may not be trained in all cosmetic surgery techniques, especially those focusing on aesthetic facial enhancements.

To find a qualified surgeon, check their board certifications, which can be verified through the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) or other certification bodies.

Q. Is it true that only board-certified plastic surgeons should perform cosmetic surgery?

While some may suggest that only board-certified plastic surgeons should perform cosmetic surgery, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) is the only board exclusively dedicated to certifying surgeons in the field of cosmetic surgery. To become a diplomate of the ABCS, a surgeon must already be board-certified in another medical specialty and pass rigorous exams, demonstrating advanced expertise in cosmetic surgery.

It’s important to note that not all board-certified plastic surgeons are qualified in cosmetic surgery. The ABCS board certification is the gold standard for cosmetic surgery, ensuring that a surgeon has specialized knowledge and experience in this field.

Q. How can I verify if my surgeon is board-certified in cosmetic surgery?

To confirm a surgeon’s board certification in cosmetic surgery, visit the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery website at www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org or use their ABCS Member Directory. You can also verify board certifications by calling their office at 219-836-8585. For other certifications, check the American Board of Medical Specialties at www.abms.org.
