Practice Philosophy

My goal for each patient is that they feel that they are getting my full attention and that of my team. I want each patient to feel that they are being listened to and that their concerns are understood and appreciated. My goal for myself and my team is to provide the level of care and empathy that we would want to receive for ourselves, our spouse and loved ones.

I became a plastic surgeon after working as a cancer surgeon treating women with breast cancer. The restoration of the human form to the normal and attractive anatomy held great fascination for me, and I was instantly drawn to a speciality which could do so much good. The ability to restore not just thebody or the face, but seeing patients reestablish self-confidence and a feeling of recovered beauty, is what drives me in my daily practice.

Today I limit my practice to aesthetic cosmetic surgery, helping the patient recover that which has been lost to aging, child bearing, weight loss, accidents, cancer or a physicial trait that causes embarrassment or an ill feeling of self-consciousness. I feel very blessed to be able to use my skills as a plastic surgeon to be able to help patients acheive their cosmetic surgery goals.

Specialty
While I perform all procedures in plastic surgery from burn care to liposuction, my main interests are in facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty, as well as breast enhancement and body contouring. I have been a board-certified plastic surgeon since 1994 so during those years in practice I have done many surgical procedures. My team and I welcome you to come in and see my before-and-after pictures of actual patient results. We have a wonderful website and I invite you to visit us to see videos and learn even more at www.ljcsc.com.
