Some cosmetic surgeons &#8211; like myself &#8211; are plastic and reconstructive surgeons. But some aren\u2019t. Any doctor, from an oral surgeon, a GP to a dermatologist, can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon but they can\u2019t call themselves plastic surgeons.\u00a0<\/p><p>Surgeons have to comply with board certification requirements, depending on the board that certifies them. To be board-certified as a plastic surgeon in Australia (<em>Fellowship by the Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic Surgery<\/em>), you have done a minimum of 9 years of medical and surgical training. That is the only recognised qualification in plastic surgery and therefore cosmetic surgery by the Australian Medical Council or AMC.<\/p><p>It\u2019s important to know that the AMC doesn\u2019t recognise cosmetic surgery as part of a different specialty.<\/p><p>In other words, <em>the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery (ACCS)<\/em>, is not recognised by the AMC. So cosmetic surgeons claiming to be board-certified may not be recognised by the AMC. That\u2019s why it is so important to take a moment and ask for clarification before you make a decision about surgical procedures. I know, it\u2019s confusing. But we\u2019re here to help you gain total clarity before you commit to a decision.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43df4c7 e-con-full animated-slow e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"43df4c7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a54dc1a e-con-full left-offset e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a54dc1a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ae9ebd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ae9ebd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to look out for?<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cf3076 text-block elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cf3076\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In summary, if you want a cosmetic procedure done, ask your surgeon if they are qualified by the <em>Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS)<\/em>.

This type of plastic surgery is what we call reconstructive surgery.
