Individualized Care

At his Santa Barbara practice, plastic surgeon Douglas Mackenzie takes the time to tailor every procedure to suit the particular goals of each patient.

In my practice, I really like to individualize the care, not only the actual surgical procedure but also the aftercare. I think in many operations, there are different ways to approach a problem and there are different tools and especially in plastic surgery, a cookie cutter approach just does not work well. We have to look at the individual patient and then come up with a plan that is totally customized for that patient, both to what the patient wants and needs and desires in the end.
