Credentials may be difficult to decipher without explanation, especially as there are so many surgical Societies, Associations, and Academies around. Only fully-trained plastic surgeons are eligible to join BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) or BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, formerly BAPS). Some organisations do not require that its members are even plastic surgeons (e.g. the British Association of Cosmetic Surgeons (BACS), the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), the American Society of Liposuction Surgery (ASLS), European Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (EACS).
