Tribond confusion

Yesterday there was some disagreement about an answer my team gave. The difference between a plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon is the amount of training the doctor has. To be called a plastic surgeon they must have 3 years experience as a general surgeon then followed by a plastic surgery fellowship. So in theory a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon can perform some of the same procedures. Plastic surgeons can do everything a cosmetic surgeon can do but more. Chemical peel is considered a cosmetic plastic surgery.

I did not go looking for the answers to this question. I just so happens in a weekly Q&A column I read on Eonline.com talked about it this week. I am just reassuring the other players my team won fair and square.
