ASPS Member Plastic Surgeon: What is the difference?
Scottsdale – Members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the ONLY board approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify physicians in plastic surgery of the face and all areas of the body.
Many health care providers are now performing plastic surgery procedures. This does not mean they are all trained and qualified to perform plastic surgery. ASPS Member Surgeons are trained in cosmetic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures of all types.
When you choose an ASPS Member Surgeon you know your plastic surgeon:

- Is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery

- Adheres to a strict code of ethics
