What are the programs that have a fair share of plastic surgery as part of the OMFS training? I heard that Einstein has a good program, any others you guys know of?

What do you mean by, "a fair share of plastic surgery"?
Plastic Surgery is a surgical specialty with a broad scope of practice ranging from hand surgery to microvascular surgery to vaginoplasty to burns to craniofacial to full body cosmetics...
Are you erroneously referring to facial cosmetic surgery as, "plastic surgery?" Facial cosmetics is an area of head and neck surgery that falls within the purvey of multiple surgical disciplines in medicine and dentistry, including OMFS, PRS, OTOHNS, and Oculoplastics, to name a few.
Please use appropriate nomenclature.
I will get down off my soap-box now.
Thank you for getting up on the soap box so I don't have to..... it is kind of neophite like to call soft tissue surgery and cosmetic surgery of the head and neck "plastic" or "facial plastic" surgery.... this is exactly what PRS would like us to do and I refuse. It is simply soft tissue surgery or cosmetic surgery. Plastics doesn't "own" this. Correctly stated it shouldn't be called by their specialty name!

Why are you such a stickler? You know what I mean and besides I'm in a dental residency forum, what else could I be talking about?
why can't we call it 'plastic' surgery? I hear that perio guys now refer to themselves as 'periodontal plastic surgeons'! If that isn't a load of crap, the words perio and surgeon should never be used in the same sentence.

LSU-NO does a good amount. Our program director did a 2 yr Cosmetic Sx fellowship.
so is that facial or complete plastic surgery? i.e. he doing breast implants?
He did a full body cosmetics fellowship.....which includes boobs.......he focuses on facial cosmetic sx now
Is that Perenack?
