Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is generally defined as procedures to reverse the effects of aging and the natural process of life, such as obesity, weight loss, pregnancy, or surgery to improve congenital issues, such as small breasts or sagging breasts.
In your search for cosmetic surgery, it is important to understand how a plastic surgeon is trained and qualified. There is an organization called the American Board of Plastic Surgeons the supervises and qualifies the training of plastic surgeons in the United Sates.
Plastic surgeons like Dr. John Sampson have gone through the required years of training after medical school and have become qualified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Do not be confused by doctors calling themselves "cosmetic surgeons" who have received minimal training. Sometimes, they even attend weekend course and do not have the experience to provide the high quality care our patients require. You can find a listing of certified, Michigan plastic surgeons at the ASPS website. www.plasticsurgery.org.
