Our
Plastic Surgeons:
Some
refer to plastic surgeons as cosmetic surgeons; however, a plastic surgeon
is what you really want. Most doctors calling themselves "cosmetic
surgeons" are not true plastic surgeons and are not qualified or
experienced in plastic surgery. To be sure you are seeing a true "plastic
surgeon" choose an American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)
certified plastic surgeon. All of our plastic surgeons are certified
by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The American Board of Plastic
Surgery is the ONLY plastic surgery board recognized by the American
Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) which oversees legit boards. Almost
90% of all licensed physicians in the United States are certified by
an ABMS Member Board, there is no reason to see a doctor from the bottom
10%. You could be seeing a doctor that is just a doctor and not even
a surgeon, no less a plastic surgeon.
There
are over 5000 certified plastic surgeons, and of them only a small percentage
are invited to join our plastic surgeon directory.
By
choosing an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon;
patients are ensured the surgeon has graduated from an accredited medical
school and completed at least five years of residency (usually three
years of general surgery and two years of plastic surgery). A plastic
surgeon must also practice for two years and pass written and oral examinations
in plastic surgery.
I
have personally checked the qualifications of our member plastic surgeons.
In fact, our plastic surgeons meet higher standards than those of any
other referral service as we only list select plastic surgeons to be
in our plastic surgeon directory. Our plastic surgeons must also maintain
that standard in order to remain in our plastic surgeon directory.

There
are over 5000 certified plastic surgeons and of them less than 20%
are invited to join our directory. Although our web sites generate
exposure and referrals for our member surgeons, our sites are created
for the patient. Thus, we take our referral directory seriously
and will remove a surgeon should we feel they no longer practices
by the standards we expect from our surgeons. We have removed surgeons
from our directory in the past and have turned down many. When we
say we list the best, we mean it. To see if you qualify, please inquire about becoming a member.

"Rebecca
loves her saline breast implants. 'They make you feel more feminine
and fit into clothes better,' says the Columbia, S.C., founder
of implantforum.com." . . . Fuller says 95 percent of the
women who visit her Web site, a plastic surgeon-sponsored forum
for women to discuss breast augmentation, report they are happy
with their implants. Even when an implant ruptures and deflates,
women will get it replaced, Fuller said, "because they don't want
to give up their implants." . . .And Fuller said that's exactly
why she started implantforum.com. "It's not something you
talk about over the dinner table." |

is the best one!" -Kris

"Thank
you so much for this page. It is extremely helpful. I'm doing
my research now & I plan to have the implants done within
a year. I've gone to a couple PS for a consultation but I was
not satisfied with their post surgery pictures. I've found
my top 3 PS on your page & I'm definitely going to contact
them."
Sincerely,

Hello,
I
would like to comment on your web site. BY FAR, this is the
most attractive, professionally done and INFORMATIVE site
I have found on the subject of BA. Over the past several weeks,
I have been researching the subject and have literally spent
half of my waking hours looking for any information on the subject
that I could find. I spend so much time on-line. I am absolutely
amazed at the wealth of knowledge that I have found here. You
have covered every topic thoroughly. In using your site as a
research tool, the only questions I have left are those that
I will need to discuss with my PS regarding my individual needs.
I would HIGHLY recommend your site to anyone who is searching
for information on this subject. I also look forward to visiting
your site frequently to view updated information. Thank you
for providing this valuable service to many women.
Sincerely,
Michelle M. Cleek

".
. . I am in IT (computers) and would not even consider going to
a surgeon that didn't have a Web presence. My reasoning on this
is: If the doctor is not cutting edge enough to recognize that
he needs to have a web presence (to provide better customer service
and remain competitive), then I don't want him cutting on me.
It is important to me that a doctor embraces technology
in all aspects of his practice, because that tells me he is a
forward-thinker
and he is using the latest techniques on me . . ."

Hello,
Firstly, Let me tell you just how impressive
your site is. It's informative, nicely set out, easy to use,
quick to load, fun, and I must admit, that after researching
breast augmentation for the past 2 months (on a daily basis!),
that this site far out does any other............I have
not seen anything like it!!
* BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS-they are well recognized..........the
range of topics and options is just unbelievable!!!!!!!
Kind Regards,
Lee
