There are a number of surgeons in the Naples area who offer cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and facelift. Some potential patients may be tempted to price-shop, making cost the determining factor. However, it is important to remember that your plastic surgeon will play a direct role in your safety and comfort during your procedure, as well as the quality of the results achieved.
Plastic vs. Cosmetic Surgeon
Anyone with a medical degree can call himself a “cosmetic surgeon.” Literally anyone. A podiatrist performing liposuction? It’s certainly possible – even if he hasn’t completed additional training in aesthetic procedures.
To use the title “plastic surgeon” a doctor must be board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This requires additional schooling, residencies, testing, and monitoring of results. Certification can even be revoked if standards are not maintained.
