The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of District of Columbia and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully

Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.

ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters

The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.
