American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery is an alliance of surgeons dedicated to the advancement of the field of cosmetic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. The mission of the Academy is to educate the public and prospective patients about cosmetic surgery. All Fellows of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery are certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and/or have their initial board certification by one of the member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). This provides some assurance of formal training in the fundamentals of cosmetic surgery. All specialty boards require at least four years of residency training in plastic and/or cosmetic surgical procedures and provide a solid base for the surgeon’s skills. The web site has information about many popular cosmetic procedures as well.
