Business Description

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 five 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 dedicated to just plastic surgery of the face and neck.

After completing a fellowship, the process to become Board Certified in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is as adheres to: The surgeon must be in technique for 2 years, and complete 50 facial plastic and reconstructive cases per year. These cases are then reviewed to make sure they fulfill strict standards of care. When these cases are reviewed, the surgeon needs to then 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 five 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. Typically, a General Plastic Surgeon's method includes every one of these disciplines.

In today's healthcare environment, more and more doctors are providing cosmetic treatments to attempt to supplement their earnings 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 include training in cosmetic injections or cosmetic surgery. Therefore, these doctors attend a weekend course that provides "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 concerning a cosmetic procedure, it is extremely important that you ask the doctor regarding their board certification.
