How to Pick a Plastic Surgeon for BOTOX® Injections

BOTOX

Crow’s feet or frown lines can make you look prematurely aged, which is one reason why BOTOX® injections have become a popular non-invasive method of reducing their appearance. If you’d like to regain your youthful looks with the help of BOTOX®, it’s important to only schedule treatment at the office of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Choosing a plastic surgeon you can trust is the best recipe to achieve the winning combination of patient safety plus excellent results.

Choosing a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon for Your BOTOX® Injections

You know you should work with a skilled plastic surgeon, but how can you tell who’s really outstanding and who’s simply claiming to be? Board certification is the best way to identify the most experienced plastic surgeons, whether you’re considering BOTOX® injections or another procedure. Certification by the American Board of Medical Specialties is only awarded to those who meet strict criteria, meaning you know you’re choosing a professional you can trust.

What Does ASPS Certification Mean?

Beyond board certification, look for additional levels of professional achievement, such as membership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Before being awarded ASPS certification, a plastic surgeon must:

  • Achieve board-certification with either the American Board of Medical Specialties or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada
  • Complete at least 6 years of medical training and 3 years of plastic surgery residency
  • Pass written and oral exams
  • Graduate from an accredited medical school and commit to ongoing education every year
  • Perform surgery only in accredited, state-licensed or Medicare-certified facilities

As you can see, choosing the best plastic surgeon for your BOTOX® means looking for one who has put a significant amount of work into both becoming qualified and maintaining a consistent standard of excellence.
