About Cosmetic Surgery Errors & Malpractice

Cosmetic Surgery is a Specialized Field

Although the term is often used interchangeably with plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery is actually a sub-specialty in medicine that is particularly restricted to the enhancement of appearance through surgical or medical methods. Cosmetic surgery is specifically concerned with maintaining or restoring normal appearance or enhancing appearance to a certain aesthetic ideal. Cosmetic surgery may be practiced by surgeons in a variety of fields, including plastic surgeons as well as dermatologists, general surgeons, oral surgeons, and physicians from other fields. Because cosmetic surgery is a specialized field of medicine, it is important that you check your doctor's credentials to ensure he or she is board-certified in cosmetic surgery, not only plastic surgery or another field.
