Plastic Surgery in New York
The following is extracted from the ASPRS web site.

to visit same. Welcome to the web site for plastic surgery,
sponsored by the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgeons (ASPRS) ... The membership of ASPRS comprises 97
percent of all plastic surgeons certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery. This site provides background
on the wide variety of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic
surgery procedures as well as offering a plastic surgeon
referral service. There is also information on ASPRS, 'education'
and other plastic surgery organizations.
Web Editor's note
An M.D. can be BOARD CERTIFIED
by many boards. Only if an individual is BOARD CERTIFIED
by the AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY should that individual
BE CALLED or CALL HIS OR HER SELF a PLASTIC SURGEON. To
put it another way if one calls oneself oneself a PLASTIC
SURGEON and one is not certified by the AMERICAN BOARD
OF PLASTIC SURGERY then that individual is being deceptive.
Only surgeons certified by the AMERICAN BOARD OF
PLASTIC SURGERY can be active members of THE AMERICAN
SOCIETY OF PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY.
There are a few exceptions to the above e.g. board
elegibility or membership allowed because of significant
contributions within the realm of plastic surgery allows
certain types of membership in the ASPRS
