What is the difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a general plastic surgeon?

A facial plastic surgeon performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on only the head, neck, and face.

Training for a facial plastic surgeon involves one or two years of post-graduate training in general surgery residency. They must also complete at least four additional years of specialty training in head and neck surgery and facial plastic surgery.

Some procedures that facial plastic surgeons, like Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, may perform include:


General plastic surgeons perform cosmetic surgery on both the face and the body. These plastic surgeons must complete three to five years in general surgery residency and two years of specialty training in all body areas.

Some procedures cosmetic plastic surgeons may perform include:

  • Breast augmentation
  • Liposuction
  • Tummy Tuck surgery

Both facial and general plastic surgeons must complete a four-year college degree plus another four years of medical school.

If you are considering cosmetic facial surgery and you live in the Beverly Hills area of California, please contact Dr. Babak Azizzadeh today.
