Consultations
I believe a thorough consultation is an essential element to the ultimate success of the surgical outcome and overall patient satisfaction. Choosing to have plastic surgery can be an exciting, yet frightening experience for many patients. The consultation session is an opportunity for patients to discuss their needs, concerns and the look they want to achieve. I discuss potential risks, benefits, realistic expectations, and treatment options. Together with my professional expertise and patients' goals, an individualized treatment plan is developed to best meet their needs. I strongly encourage my patients to be as informed as possible by the time they leave my office and make myself available for further consultation to facilitate their decision making process.
