Dr. Gross is a certified diplomate of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a highly selective group consisting of only 750 qualified surgeons throughout the world. It’s members are board-certified, focusing on plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face, eyes, nose, ears, head and neck. They are called upon for the most complex cases for their surgical skills and detailed knowledge of perhaps the most challenging of all areas human anatomy.
Why is this specialization important?
As knowledge of surgery has expanded over the years, more surgeons have chosen to sub specialize- notably in plastic surgery, and most importantly in facial plastic surgery, due to the complex anatomy of the face. As demand has arisen for these new cutting edge specialists, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) was founded in 1986 to meet this public need.
The ABFPRS was organized to recognize facial plastic surgeons who had moved beyond initial certification. Other requirements include two-day written and oral examinations (psychometrically validated), peer review of at least fifty facial plastic surgery cases per year over two years, appropriate medical licensing, and adherence to the ABFPRS code of ethics. The ABFPRS written and oral examinations are statistically valid and meet or exceed ABMS standards. To achieve certification, one must have successfully completed an ACGME-approved residency training in one of the two fields comprehensively addressing facial plastic surgery head and neck surgery or general plastic surgery. This differentiates the ABFPRS from those other boards that certify in areas outside of their respective physicians’ ACGME training. The ABFPRS (unlike other cosmetic surgery boards) is accepted by every state medical board including Florida. The ABFPRS has certified more than 750 surgeons throughout the United States and Canada. ABFPRS certification assures the patient that his or her surgeon is a qualified specialist in facial plastic surgery.
