It is highly recommended that anyone considering SmartLipo use a surgeon who specializes in plastic surgery and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Just because a surgeon is “board certified” does not mean he or she is certified in plastic surgery. They could be certified in one of the many other medical specialties.  Just as a licensed mechanic shouldn’t be expected to do the same type of work as a licensed hairdresser, a board certified gastroenterologist (or other type of specialist) shouldn’t be performing SmartLipo.

A surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery has not only a medical degree from an accredited medical school, but also years of plastic surgery training and has passed both the oral and written plastic surgery board examinations.
