3. The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS)

This is the leading organization for cosmetic surgeons because it is the only organization that represents cosmetic surgeons in the American Medical Association (AMA). It is able to provide this service via its seat in the AMA's House of Delegates.

Founded in 1985, the AACS's membership includes dermatological surgeons, plastic surgeons, oral surgeons, general surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, and ocular plastic surgeons.

The common factor among all these different types of surgeons is that they all specialize in cosmetic surgery.

As a surgeon, the benefits of being AACS certified are plenty. The most obvious benefit is gaining the respect from other medical professionals and the public.

This respect can and probably will lead to an increase in business. Other benefits include a certificate that can be prominently posted in the office; a free subscription to the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery which provides a lot of new information and research in the cosmetic surgery field; access to liability insurance; and a complete profile and link from the AACS surgeon finder.

For patients, the benefits of having a surgeon certified by the AACS means having the peace of mind that you will be receiving the best possible care that is backed by the leading certifying organization.
