Because the micro-plastic surgeon may also be the attending doctor of plastic surgery, the concepts overlap or even repeat, and there is no comparability.

Micro-plastic surgeon refers to the doctor who is mainly responsible for the reception and operation of micro-plastic surgery in the hospital, while the concept of cosmetic surgeon is broader. Any doctor who is in charge of the reception of cosmetic surgery projects can be considered as an attending doctor, and some of these attending doctors are engaged in the reception and operation of micro-plastic surgery.
