HomeSurgeons: Join UsCosmetic Surgery Patient Safety® Certification

The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery prides itself on setting the highest standards for training, expertise, and ethical practice in the cosmetic surgery field—and we’re raising this bar even higher with the Cosmetic Surgery Patient Safety® certification. All ABCS surgeons will now have the opportunity to voluntarily complete a Patient Safety Exam in addition to the rigorous testing and training already required to become an ABCS certified surgeon.

Patient safety remains the most critical component of our mission, and the certification gives patients who are choosing a qualified cosmetic surgeon yet another resource in their toolkit.
