LUBBOCK, TX, November 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- FacePlus Plastic Surgery Institute announced a renewed commitment to the two credentials that matter most in cosmetic surgery: its facility is accredited by QUAD A, the global accreditor of outpatient surgical facilities, and its surgeon, Thanapoom "Dr. Mo" Boonipat, MD, is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

It marks the first anniversary of Dr. Boonipat's ABPS certification (November 10, 2025) and the QUAD A accreditation of his Lubbock surgical suite (Facility #11486).

"Patients compare photos and prices, but the two questions are different: Is the facility accredited, and is the surgeon board-certified in plastic surgery?" said Dr. Boonipat. "At FacePlus, the answer to both is yes."

QUAD A (formerly AAAASF) accreditation requires 100% compliance with standards covering surgeon credentials, anesthesia monitoring, sterilization and infection control, emergency preparedness, and the facility — verified through regular and unannounced inspections. Only board-certified or board-eligible surgeons with hospital privileges may operate in one.

Dr. Boonipat trained in plastic surgery at Mayo Clinic, completed a craniofacial fellowship at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan; degrees from Dartmouth (medicine) and Johns Hopkins (biomedical engineering). FacePlus is known across West Texas for awake plastic surgery under local anesthesia: rhinoplasty, facelift, liposuction, and fat grafting.

His team includes surgical nurses Jennifer Johnson, BSN, RN, and Lisa Leal-Sanchez, RN, with more than 65 years of combined nursing experience. Patients everywhere are encouraged to verify both credentials before booking — ABPS certification at the American Board of Plastic Surgery, QUAD A accreditation in QUAD A's directory.
