Board Certified Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon and Surgery by Dr. Gregory Gallico

Board Certification in Plastic Surgery is the most important credential to look for in your Plastic Surgeon. Ask your Plastic Surgeon to see his/her Document of Boaard Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Board Certification in Plastic Surgery assures you that your surgeon has had the best and most complete training in Plastic Surgery residency to be able to perform your surgery well. Dr. Gallico spent 8 years in Plastic Surgery residency training after medical school to become a Plastic Surgeon. Board Certification in Plastic Surgery required 2 more years to prove his competence independently in the operating room as a Plastic Surgeon and to pass a written exam and a rigorous oral exam.

Dr. Gregory Gallico, III, MD, FACS, is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The above document is the actual certificate of Plastic Surgery board certification of Dr. Gallico. Board certification by the Board of Plastic Surgery assures you have a fully trained board certified plastic surgeon who can perform safely all the operations of facial plastic surgery, breast plastic surgery, and body plastic surgery. There are many doctors who call themselves 'Plastic Surgeons', but are not, and are not certified as a board certified Plastic Surgeons. Ask your .doctor to see his/her certificate to be sure that they are a real plastic surgeon. If you want the safest plastic surgery, find a surgeon like Dr. Gallico, who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Any doctor can call himself a "plastic surgeon" even if they have not been trained in Plastic Surgery and have not passed the Board Certification process. Some doctors claim "board certification", but actually have none or are not certified in Plastic Surgery. Make sure your doctor's certificate shows certification by the Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons as recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Ask your plastic surgeon to see the actual certificate indicating Board Certification in Plastic Surgery not some other surgical specialty or 'artificial Board' such as the Board of Cosmetic Surgery (which is not a legitimate 'Board').
