How do we know that a surgeon is fully trained in cosmetic surgery?

The admission to membership of the BAAPs is based on peer review of experience in cosmetic surgery.

Each new member has to be recommended by two current members that are fully aware of his/her ability and knowledge in the field of cosmetic surgery. The association maintains a high standard of cosmetic surgery training among its members, by means of courses, bi-annual association's meetings and international participation of its members.
