surgeons’ knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery. This is a board dedicated to the
specialty of cosmetic surgery and the patients who choose to have this elective surgery. The
American Board of Cosmetic Surgery is designed for extraordinary surgeons that must already
possess at least one recognized board certificate before they can even be considered to potentially
take the rigorous written and oral exams required by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. Diplomates
of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery demonstrate the highest standards of training, knowledge and
expertise, while promoting the safe and ethical practice of the specialty of cosmetic surgery. Many doctors
of various competing boards may try to claim superiority for one reason or another over the American
Board of Cosmetic Surgery, yet, the truth is, that most cosmetic or plastic surgeons do not qualify to
take our board exam because of the very strict qualifications they must meet. Since no other board tests
an individual exclusively in "cosmetic surgery," the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery prides itself as
being the highest standard of measure for this specialty.
