What Sets ABCS Board-Certified Surgeons Apart?

Comprehensive Examination

Candidates must pass a challenging certification exam covering the full scope of cosmetic surgery, evaluating knowledge, surgical judgement, and ethics.

Specialization in Cosmetic Surgery

Certification is entirely dedicated to cosmetic surgery. Surgeons must demonstrate expertise in modern aesthetic procedures of the face, breast, and body.

Commitment to Ethics

The ABCS conducts thorough screening. Diplomates pledge to act ethically, compassionately, and with the utmost integrity.

“I chose to be certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery because it’s the only certifying board that qualifies surgeons in the art and science of cosmetic surgery specifically.”

— Board Certified Surgeon

“Board certification is a standard that patients can have confidence in. You know that they’ve been well-trained, evaluated by peers, and passed enough tests to prove they can safely do your operation.”

— ABCS Diplomate

“Board certification by the ABCS gives me recognition of my training and experience, and also the recognition by my patients that we are committed to cosmetic surgery and safety.”
