The Board of Facial Plastic Surgery states that over 100,000 face lift procedures are performed annually, making it a relatively common cosmetic surgery. Despite its frequency, it is still a highly invasive procedure that requires local or general anesthesia and carries with it a risk of complications following surgery.

It is critical that patients do their research and find surgeons with exactly the right medical training and experience; significant surgical ability and long-term plastic surgery experience enhance the chances that patients will achieve a great face lift outcome. Patients should always seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Select a board-certified plastic surgeon for the following key reasons:

• Certification means that your physician successfully completed an educational program that the board has fully approved.
• Your physician met board certification requirements that include passing an examination designed to measure his or her ability to provide good medical care.

The kind of training your surgeon received and his/her skill level are key to the results that will be achieved. Some surgeons simply have higher skill levels than others.
