American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

All AAFPRS members are board certified by a specialty board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. In particular, an immense number of AAFPRS members have achieved board certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), which requires prior certification by either the American Board of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery or the American Board of Plastic Surgery. For more than 30 years, the ABFPRS has been actively dedicated to improving the quality of facial plastic surgery available to the public by measuring the qualifications of candidate surgeons against certain rigorous standards.
