Choosing the right plastic surgeon is an important decision, and you should ensure that your plastic surgeon is an expert in the cosmetic surgery field before proceeding with cosmetic or plastic surgery.
All members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons have undergone rigorous plastic surgery training, which usually involves 10 years of postgraduate training. All members of ASPS are Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), which is recognized as the benchmark standard for surgical training within Australia for plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Each member of ASPS and FRACS is required to undergo a continuing education program and participate in peer reviewed audits, where other plastic surgeons assess their work. This ensures that the highest standards in plastic and cosmetic surgery are maintained, with each plastic surgeon being recertified every three years.
We encourage you to contact the Australian Society of Plastic Surgery for a list of the College of Surgeons certified plastic surgeons before choosing someone to perform your cosmetic or plastic surgery procedure.
