Surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is increasingly becoming a part of mainstream American society. More and more of us are considering cosmetic surgery to improve our looks as well as our self esteem. Electing to undergo cosmetic surgery is a highly personal decision and you should take the time to find the right surgeon.
One of the most confusing issues today is that of board certification. It is important for you to recognize and seek out a surgeon who is board certified in the correct field of expertise. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure of the face and neck, that area of expertise is facial plastic surgery. There are a number of boards that certify surgeons performing facial plastic surgery, which are either member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) or have been deemed equivalent to the boards of the ABMS. These boards include the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology (covering the specialty of head and neck surgery). What you should know is that most of these board certified facial plastic surgeons are members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the world's largest association of facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Dr. Koch is a member of these boards and has years of successful experience specializing exclusively in facial plastic surgery.
