Let's start at the beginning: what's the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon? Any doctor can perform cosmetic surgery. In order to call himself a plastic surgeon, a doctor must complete additional training and several additional years of plastic surgery residency. A Board Certified plastic surgeon must also pass the certification process.
Now that the difference is clear, it's easier to understand why many plastic surgeons in Los Angeles reject the label of a "cosmetic surgeon".
What's the difference in the level of skills of a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon? In a word, technique. A cosmetic surgeon's skill is not necessarily inferior to that of a plastic surgeon but it is usually different. How does it translate in terms of results? Actually, both can produce excellent results.
As much as plastic surgeons perceive the expression "cosmetic surgeon" as a put down, patients - and most of us don't know the difference between a plastic and cosmetic surgeon - like it. Any woman knows that anything "cosmetic" is good and beautiful. (We don't feel the same way about the word "plastic" or "surgery" for that matter.) We associate the word "cosmetic" with pleasure. When we - the patients - talk about a cosmetic surgeon or cosmetic surgery we're excited about the prospect of COSMETIC results. This would explain - at least in part - the skyrocketing popularity of alternatives to plastic surgery such as laser treatments and dermal injectables. Both have a premise that appeals to women: significant cosmetic improvement without the risk of surgery.

I realize that most plastic surgery procedures are in fact surgeries and many are major surgeries still performed under a general anesthesia. I understand also that there are some aesthetic objectives that can't be achieved in any other way. Of course, the procedure and all its potential risks have to be clearly explained to the patient. But if the doctor's patient base is 90% female focusing on female sensibilities might be a good idea.
When a person is born female and partial to beauty, she remains so forever. Many see their appearance as an invaluable asset. There is - and will always be - a demand for plastic and cosmetic surgery.
If you're in the market for a plastic or cosmetic surgery in Los Angeles area to address a beauty concern of yours, look for a surgeon who is sensitive to female sensibilities. It usually indicates also that he is gentle, skilled and considerate.
