The single most important factor in your cosmetic (aesthetic) plastic surgery journey is the surgeon you select. It’s surprising to learn that some doctors performing cosmetic surgery today have had no formal surgical training. Asking the right questions now before you schedule a consultation is your best bet to receive the quality outcome you desire.
Is my surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)?
Yes, Dr. Sunny Waitze is certified by the ABPS.
Surgeons with the ABPS certification have completed a minimum of five years of surgical training following medical school, including an approved residency program in plastic surgery. After training, a surgeon must pass comprehensive oral and written exams to receive certification. ABPS certification indicates a surgeon's qualifications to perform reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery of the face and the entire body. To verify a doctor's board certification, consult The Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists (available at most libraries), call the ABMS toll-free at 1-866-275-2267, or visit www.abms.org.
