If you are going to get plastic surgery for your face, you have two basic options for the plastic surgeon that you choose to use when getting this kind of work done. The first is to go with a general plastic surgeon who is trained in doing all different types of plastic surgery. The second is to choose a facial plastic surgeon who specializes specifically in working on the face.
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) has completed a study that shows that the majority of Americans are concerned enough about getting great results from facial plastic surgery that they will take the time to find a doctor that specializes in this type of work.
The general plastic surgeon may be skilled in the procedures that you are seeking (face lift surgery, for example) but the facial plastic surgeon will have additional expertise which some people consider to be important enough to pay extra for if they can find it.
Question of the Day: Would you seek out a specialty facial plastic surgeon if you were getting facial plastic surgery?
