My philosophy:
I pride myself in striving for natural results with my surgery. I understand that individual tastes vary, and that a cookie cutter approach to plastic surgery yields results that often look fake, forced, or over-operated. This field is unlike most surgical specialties where consistent repetition of a procedure usually yields a satisfactory result. Plastic surgery blends surgical finesse with artistic sensibility to effect a result that addresses the desires of each unique patient. This sometimes needs to be tempered with a realistic expectation of what can be achieved, and I’ll take the time to listen to your wishes, explain what can be expected, and arrive at a surgical plan that you are comfortable with.
