Stanislaw Facial Plastic Surgery Center

About Stanislaw Facial Plastic Surgery Center

Dr. Paul Stanislaw is a Board Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. This is different than a General Plastic Surgeon, in both training and in scope of method. A Facial Plastic Surgeon completes a 5 year residency in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Twenty five percent of the Head & Neck Surgery Residency is in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. A Facial Plastic Surgeon then completes a fellowship in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery which is committed to only plastic surgery of the face and neck. After completing a fellowship, the process to become Board Certified in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is as follows: The surgeon needs to be in practice for 2 years, and complete 50 facial plastic and reconstructive cases per year. These cases are after that reviewed to make sure they meet strict standards of care. Once these cases are reviewed, the surgeon has to after that successfully complete a written exam and an oral exam to become Board Certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. To preserve Board Certification, this process is duplicated every 10 years. My practice is strictly Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. In contrast, a General Plastic Surgeon completes a 5 year residency generally Surgery and a fellowship as a whole Plastic Surgery. A General Plastic Surgery Fellowship encompasses hand surgery, body reconstructive surgery, body cosmetic surgery, facial reconstructive surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery. Normally, a General Plastic Surgeon's practice consists of all of these disciplines. In today's healthcare environment, more and more doctors are providing cosmetic treatments to try to supplement their income in the face of declining insurance reimbursements. These doctors may be Board Certified in Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics/ Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Family Practice, or Dentistry, yet none of these board certifications consist of training in cosmetic injections or cosmetic surgery. Therefore, these doctors attend a weekend course that supplies "Board Certification in Aesthetic Medicine". After completing the weekend course, these doctors return home and tell their patients that they are "Board Certified in Aesthetic Medicine". When consulting with a doctor about a cosmetic procedure, it is extremely important that you ask the doctor regarding their board certification.
