Dr. Paul Stanislaw is a Board Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. This is different than a General Plastic Surgeon, in both training and in scope of practice. A Facial Plastic Surgeon completes a 5 year residency in... Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Twenty five percent of the Head & Neck Surgery Residency is in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. A Facial Plastic Surgeon then completes a fellowship in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery which is devoted to just plastic surgery of the face and neck.
After completing a fellowship, the process to become Board Certified in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is as follows: The surgeon should be in technique for 2 years, and complete 50 facial plastic and reconstructive cases per year. These cases are after that reviewed to make sure they fulfill strict standards of care. Once these cases are reviewed, the surgeon needs to after that successfully complete a written exam and an oral exam to become Board Certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. To preserve Board Certification, this process is repeated every 10 years.
My practice is strictly Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.
In contrast, a General Plastic Surgeon completes a 5 year residency generally Surgery and a fellowship generally Plastic Surgery. A General Plastic Surgery Fellowship encompasses hand surgery, body reconstructive surgery, body cosmetic surgery, facial reconstructive surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery. Usually, a General Plastic Surgeon's practice includes every one of these disciplines.
In today's healthcare environment, more and more doctors are offering cosmetic treatments to attempt to supplement their earnings in the face of declining insurance reimbursements. These doctors might be Board Certified in Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics/ Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Family Practice, or Dentistry, however none of these board certifications include training in cosmetic injections or cosmetic surgery. Therefore, these doctors attend a weekend course that provides "Board Certification in Aesthetic Medicine". After completing the weekend course, these doctors return home and tell their patients that they are "Board Certified in Aesthetic Medicine". When consulting with a doctor concerning a cosmetic procedure, it is really important that you ask the doctor about their board certification.
