Thank you for your interest in the AACS Certified Training Fellowship program. This post-residency program offers advanced education and training in the art of cosmetic surgery. Our General Cosmetic Surgery and Facial Cosmetic Surgery Fellowships provide hands-on training, mentorship from a top cosmetic surgeon, and insight into operating a successful cosmetic surgery practice. Our Fellowships are recognized for offering the most in-depth and intensive training in cosmetic surgery.
