<p>Plastic surgery involves many choices. The first and most important is selecting a surgeon you can trust.</p>
<p>Choosing an ASPS Member Surgeon ensures that you have selected a physician who:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has completed at least five years of surgical training with a minimum of two years in plastic surgery. </li>
<li>Is trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures, including breast, body, face and reconstruction.</li>
<li>Operates only in accredited medical facilities</li>
<li>Adheres to a strict code of ethics.</li>
<li>Fulfills continuing medical education requirements, including standards and innovations in patient safety.</li>
<li>Is board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery or in Canada by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada&reg;.</li>
</ul>
<p><br />ASPS Member Surgeons are your partners in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. Look for the ASPS Member Surgeon logo.</p>
