Practice Philosophy

The single most important factor in successful cosmetic surgery is the selection of your plastic surgeon. As an Artist and Surgical Sculptor, I prefer a refined natural look, not an artificial operated appearance. Good surgical sculpture should look good in motion and from multiple perspectives, not just the view of a single still photograph. I pick from an artist’s pallet of advanced surgical techniques to minimize bruising and swelling - maximize comfort and safety. We spend a great deal of time before, during, and after surgery with each of our patients to help them become members of our team to optimize results. With an attention to detail and a pursuit of excellence, we are eager to help you achieve the new you.

PlasticSurgery4U.com is an introduction to this  philosophy. Take your time to browse through the many examples of my surgical  art. Evaluate typical bruising and swelling, listen to patients talk about their  comfort and recovery. Learn why patients travel from around the world for my  surgical sculpture.

Consultations
There is much to learn during your consultation with me. Patient education plays an important role in my techniques. Starting out on my encyclopedic PlasticSurgery4U website, you can review thousands of before, after, and during pictures and movies. There your can read and listen to experiences of prior patients. Learn about my surgical sculpture, techniques, swelling, bruising, and recovery after surgery. Take your time to review the many views for each problem and surgical solutions. Many of your questions will be answered there. Your consultation begins with a phone call or e-mail to my office. To help minimize travel, we have a preliminary remote telephone discussion. I will then continue your education process in the office during our in-depth consultation. I suggest making a list of questions that you would like to discuss during your consultation. My goal is to learn about your desires for surgical sculpture and how I can assist you achieve those goals.
