Finding a board certified plastic surgeon in New Orleans can be difficult. There are over 20 different plastic surgeons advertising cheap New Orleans plastic surgery. Not all these doctors are board certified. While there is no law that states a New Orleans plastic surgeon must be board certified, it is safer to use one who is.

Over 250,000 cosmetic and plastic surgeries were performed last year in the New Orleans area. Some procedures were invasive and some were minimally invasive.

Won't Using a Board Certified Plastic or Cosmetic Surgeon be More Expensive?
Initially, using a board certified plastic or cosmetic surgeon may be a little more expensive. However, you do not run the risk of having multiple surgeries to correct mistakes when you choose a surgeon who is board certified. In the long run, using a cheap plastic surgeon who does not have the education and experience necessary to perform a procedure correctly can be more costly.

Why is Finding a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon Important?
A board certified plastic surgeon is one who has completed additional education in cosmetic and plastic surgery. A board certified plastic surgeon must have a minimum of five years of plastic surgery experience before he or she is eligible to sit for the board exam. The final two of these five years must be in the plastic and cosmetic surgery field in which they wish to become certified. Once the surgeon has fulfilled the time required, he or she must take a written and an oral exam. If this exam is passed, certification is granted.

By choosing a board certified New Orleans cosmetic surgeon, you are choosing a surgeon who has the knowledge and training to perform your procedure safely. You wouldn't choose a general surgeon to perform heart surgery. Why would you choose a general surgeon to perform cosmetic surgery?
