“I am very proud to be a Diplomate if the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery!”
- Dr. Tom
For more than 40 years, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery has been dedicated to excellence in cosmetic surgery and committed to the highest standard of patient care.
As we begin 2026, we're proud to continue our mission as the only certifying board that exclusively tests a surgeon's knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery.
ABCS board certification is reserved for extraordinary surgeons who meet rigorous qualifications. Our diplomates demonstrate the highest standards of training, knowledge, and expertise in cosmetic surgery:
✅ Already possess at least one recognized board certificate in a surgical specialty
✅ Complete a comprehensive AACS certified fellowship training program in cosmetic surgery
✅ Pass rigorous written and oral exams
✅ Commit to safe and ethical practice
When you choose an ABCS diplomate, you're choosing a surgeon who has gone above and beyond to prove their expertise in cosmetic surgery.
