Plastic Surgery vs Cosmetic Surgery
Following the completion of a medical degree, plastic surgeons undergo an additional 8 years of rigorous training to master the specialist skills required to perform plastic surgical procedures.
Cosmetic ‘surgeons’ can belong to any medical speciality including general surgery or dermatology. Some cosmetic ‘surgeons’ have only taken short courses in certain cosmetic procedures.
