So if you didn't, were you happy with your results and did you feel comfortable knowing that they weren't?

even tho i do love dr rey's work as well as dr rey himself, i really couldn't go to any PS that wasn't board-certified.

Mine is board certified as well! He goes to many lectures and seminars to keep up with what's happening in the world of plastics lol! I wouldn't have it any other way either, It just gave me the extra security-having a BA is a big decision though it's very common, there are still plenty of risks associated with it, so it was nice to see that my PS was qualified and certified

jinaz · 08-16-2008, 12:30 AM

Mine is double board certified and did not even consider one who was not ABPS certified....in his previous life he was a trauma surgeon

Connie08 · 08-16-2008, 09:36 PM

Mine is Board Certified.

Mine is Double Board Certified.

Dream Weaver · 08-17-2008, 02:05 PM

My surgeon is board certified. It made me feel more comfortable knowing that. Not sure I would have chosen someone who wasn't. It also gave me confidence that he was the top PS surgeon in Orlando the last several years... don't know if those things are rigged or not, but I believed it! IDK, maybe I'm just gullible!! lol... anyway, not sure if board certified surgeons are more expensive than non board certified surgeons, but I would pay the extra if they are! Peace of mind is worth everything to me...

Star Bright · 08-17-2008, 07:14 PM

im still pre BA, but being board certified is an important thing.
Mine is certified & has other credentials also with other associations in Australia.

MJ21 · 08-18-2008, 01:56 AM

Mine is def DOUBLE cerfitied and like many others have said.....I don't think I would have it any other way!

I have yet to have my BA (soon enough.....one week to go!!! whoohooo

)but would not feel safe having someone perform this surgery on me without being certified...

~~Melissa~~ · 08-20-2008, 06:23 PM

My surgery is next week and mine is board certified plus has other certifications. He is also head of ps at one of our local hospitals. Board certification was very, very important to me.

Disco-Biscuit · 08-21-2008, 03:24 AM

I went to a consult with a Doc. that was not board cert. and they pretty much told me that if I had anxiety they could not operate on me. This is because they were afraid that I would have a panic attack and die on the table. Always make sure that you have the option of having your surgery at the hospital.

FullAtLast · 08-22-2008, 07:30 PM

Me either!! Must be Board Certified!!!!!!!!!!

lionqueen · 08-22-2008, 07:48 PM

Mine has several certifications. He is also a renoun trauma surgeon. He teaches ps and reconstruction in a major university and has many acclaimations. Apart from that he is my husband's cousin. He did rhinoplasty on my husband (before I met him) to correct a horse butt to the nose. He also worked on several people I know. I felt incredibly comfortable with him - mostly because I knew he'd do an excellent job because he wouldn't want me giving him a bad name with the family - and name and appearances are very important in my DH's family! I'm really happy with what he did. Not to mention that he sang me to sleep - and I got the family discount!
