Anyone can legally call themselves a "cosmetic surgeon," even your pediatrician. This week, our hosts sit down with Weiler Plastic Surgery's Dr. Mary Ghere to break down what actually separates a board-certified plastic surgeon from a cosmetic surgeon, and why the difference could be the difference between a great result and a medical emergency. We cover the real training timeline, what board certification actually means, why hospital privileges are the ultimate safety signal, and the horror stories that happen when patients don't ask the right questions before going under the knife. If you're considering any cosmetic procedure, watch this first. Thanks for watching and be sure to follow for new episodes every Tuesday!
