In the Philippines there are no regulations nor are there restrictions which govern what type of medical practitioner can perform cosmetic/plastic surgery procedures. Theoretically, anyone can perform these medical procedures without training. Unfortunately there are also no laws enforcing Malpractice proceedings. So the best way to know if your surgeon is qualified is to choose a surgeon who is Board Certified by the Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeons, Inc (PAPRAS). PAPRAS is the only recognized organization by the Philippine College of Surgeons to grant board certification in the field of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the Philippines.
The field of plastic surgery encompasses both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and Board Certified practitioners are trained, experienced, and qualified to perform both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures on the face and all areas of the body. Currently, there are fewer than 80 Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in the country. Here is the list of some surgeons in Philippines:
