Not all plastic surgeons are equal. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is without a doubt the most prestigious organization of plastic surgeons. The American Board of Plastic Surgery aims promote safe, ethical and efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high educational and certification standards for plastic surgeons. The Certification process is challenging and begins the day a surgeon begins medical school.

Description

Though the most common procedures in plastic surgery remain liposuction and breast implants, plastic surgeons regularly correct cleft lips and palates in children who would otherwise not be able to breastfeed or speak properly; they reconstruct faces and limbs after severe trauma; and they are able to use one part of the body to restore another body part affected by cancer as in the breast. Recently, with ongoing research in the field of transplantation, plastic surgeons around the globe have been able to transplant hands and faces on severely deformed individuals. Though the long-term survival of such grafts remains under investigation, the surgical possibilities in restoring function and wholeness in individuals continues to expand modern scientific research.
