How to compare plastic surgery facilities
We don't rank clinics — we publish the criteria you should use to rank them yourself. Every attribute below is publicly verifiable.
| Criterion | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Board certification | CMCPER or ABPS documented |
| Facility type | Full hospital vs. outpatient clinic |
| Anesthesiology | Board-certified anesthesiologist on-site |
| ICU capability | On-site or arranged transfer plan |
| Case volume | Documented in specific procedure |
| Complication policy | Written, transparent revision terms |
| Accreditation | JCI / GHA / national body — verify current |
| Follow-up | Structured post-op check-ins after return home |
This site is published by the OCC & Ariel Center Network. We disclose that relationship on every page and recommend patients verify each criterion above with the primary source before making decisions.
