Maintaining and improving the quality of advanced education in nationally recognized cosmetic surgery fellowships is a primary aim of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. The Academy is an accredited council of professionals devoted to post-graduate medical education in the field of cosmetic surgery. It is the nation's largest multi-disciplinary medical organization that exclusively devotes its educational efforts to cosmetic surgery.
Certification of advanced fellowship programs is a voluntary effort of all parties involved. The process assures fellows, specialty boards and the public that training programs are in compliance with published standards.
A fellowship in cosmetic surgery is a planned post-residency program that contains advanced education and training designed to enhance clinical skills of the surgeon.
The fellowship program is in general cosmetic surgery and is designed to prepare the fellow to take the cosmetic surgery boards. Our practice is 100% devoted to cosmetic surgery, of which 70 % is body surgery, which includes breast surgery, body contouring including Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, etc. and 30% is facial cosmetic surgery, including endoscopic browlifts, facelifts, eyelid surgery, etc.
