Cosmetic Doctors

The term “Cosmetic Doctor” refers to any licensed physician (MD or DO degree) or oral maxillofacial surgeon (DDS or DMD degree) who claims to have specialized training and/or experience in cosmetic medicine, and a proficiency in performing cosmetic procedures.

Several different types of doctors perform cosmetic procedures, each with different training, experience, and credentials. “Core” cosmetic physician specialties, which include Plastic Surgeons, ENT/Otolaryngologists, Dermatologists, and Ophthalmologists, are those specialties which are widely recognized as having the requisite training, certification, and experience associated with performing cosmetic procedures. Although the core specialties account for the majority of cosmetic procedures performed, cosmetic medicine is no longer limited to just core physicians. Other specialties, including, family practice, internal medicine, anesthesia, obstetrics/gynecology, and others, now perform cosmetic procedures as well.

Board Certification

The term “Board-Certified” refers to doctors who are certified by one of the 24 Member Boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (www.abms.org), an organization formed in 1933 and is widely recognized as the gold standard in establishing standards for recognizing medical specialists. The 24 Member Boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties are:

  1. The American Board of Allergy and Immunology
  2. The American Board of Anesthesiology
  3. The American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery

  10. The American Board of Nuclear Medicine
  11. The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology
  12. The American Board of Ophthalmology
  13. The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery
