One of the most important steps in your decision to seek plastic surgery should be selecting a surgeon with proper qualifications. In most states, including Arizona, a licensed physician may perform plastic surgery without being board-certified in plastic surgery. Just because a doctor is board certified does not mean he or she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). To be board-certified by the ABPS, a physician must meet these rigid requirements:

Graduate from an accredited medical school
Complete a combination of at least five years of general surgery and plastic surgery residency training
Pass comprehensive oral and written exams

In addition, in order to maintain board certification, a plastic surgeon must regularly attend continuing medical education courses and adhere to a strict code of ethics.
