Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Surgeon Business Cards for Aesthetic Practice

Plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons practice at the intersection of surgical precision and aesthetic artistry — performing reconstructive procedures that restore form and function after injury, cancer, or birth defects, and aesthetic procedures that enhance appearance and build confidence. Patient choice in elective surgery is driven by trust, reputation, and credentials — your card must establish all three immediately.

What Plastic Surgeon Cards Must Include

Your Credentials

• MD or DO — medical degree
• Plastic Surgeon / Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon — specialty title
• Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) — the only ABMS-recognized board specifically for plastic surgery; the most important credential
• ASPS member (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) — the primary professional organization; membership requires ABPS board certification
• ASAPS member (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery / Aesthetic Society)
• FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) — surgical quality signal
• Subspecialty fellowship: Craniofacial, hand surgery, burn, microsurgery, aesthetic surgery

Be aware: The "cosmetic surgeon" title is used by practitioners who may not be ABPS board certified. Genuine plastic surgeons should display ABPS certification prominently.
