As a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has dedicated three decades of his professional career to applying, advancing, and perfecting his craft, Dr. Daniel E. Rousso is an internationally renowned expert in the world of aesthetics.
Yet to a patient or layperson who doesn’t spend their time tracking the aesthetic industry and its acronyms, understanding just how good or how qualified, respected, and awarded a plastic surgeon actually is can be difficult.
And what does “board-certified” mean exactly? Isn’t anyone who can do facial work technically an “expert in facial plastic surgery”?
Unfortunately not and, in fact, very far from it. Anyone in the United States with a medical license may legally perform plastic surgery—whether board-certified, highly experienced, fellowship-trained or not.
Some dermatologists offer mini facelifts. Some self-proclaimed “board-certified cosmetic surgeons” have no actual training in a surgical discipline!
(“Board-certified cosmetic surgeon” is vastly different from “board-certified plastic surgeon,” as the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only official ABMS board that certifies plastic surgeons, while the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery—of which Dr. Rousso is a diplomate—certifies facial plastic surgeons.)
Not all licensed medical providers are guilty of “white-coat deception,” yet with patients typically expecting that anyone who would offer or advertise providing “plastic surgery,” there is oftentimes a disconnect between what a provider is alluding to and what the patient thinks he or she is actually getting.
Why credentials matter
Fundamental to all proven plastic surgery procedures is that they are as safe, as effective, and as aesthetically pleasing as the providing plastic surgeon makes them. Plastic surgery procedures aren’t automated, nor are they done on an assembly line. Your surgeon’s skill, safety profile, keen eye, and experience definitely matter! Definitely, definitely. They alone make the difference in the general quality and aesthetics of your results.
What sets Dr. Daniel E. Rousso apart

Triple Board Certification
Triple board certification is rare. Dr. Rousso underwent years of training and then produced the results necessary to satisfy three separate boards that were each comprised of peers with the very highest standards:
- American Board of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery
- American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
- American Board of Hair Restoration
