Plastic surgery does just that - it gives a new form to the human body.
No matter what type of plastic surgery you're considering the most important factor in its success is the surgeon you choose. Remember, in most states, including Texas, it is legal for any physician who holds a medical license, with or without surgical training, to advertise as a plastic or cosmetic surgeon. That's why understanding board certification is so important for the prospective patient. The Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons requires its members to be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The physician must also practice plastic surgery for two years and pass comprehensive written and oral exams.
