I just have one question for you in Virginia

Dr. Naderi,

I just have one question for you. Do you have a board in American Society as a plastic surgeon since I can’t find your name in there at all.

Thanks!

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer:

Dear Edward,

I am a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon: A Face Specialist. While Board Certified Plastic Surgeons deal with the entire body, Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeons deal with only the face. Debating which one is better is a very silly debate. It all depends on what kind of surgery you are trying to get and the surgeon. More importantly, there are hundreds of Board Certified Plastic as well as Facial Plastic Surgeons who I would never take my own family members to. There is MUCH more to being a great surgeon than just a 2 day examination or documentation for witnessing a series of surgeries! But being Board Certified is the first step. Do much more research about the doctor you are interested in.
