Consultation

When you step into my office for your consultation, you can feel at ease that I will be honest with you and always put your best interests first.

A large percentage of my patients are doctors and their families.

Remember as you are exploring the notion of plastic surgery: you are the consumer. Advertising and marketing are strong forces at play on patients’ emotions. I will only use tried and true surgical techniques that provide safe and long-lasting results.

Here is what you can expect…

  • I will offer sophisticated aesthetic judgement that comes after decades of surgical experience. Aesthetic surgery can result in major improvement if proportions and aesthetic lines are kept natural and beautiful.

  • I will be honest with you and sometimes I may tell you things you may not want to hear, such as, “leave your face alone.” The most common problems I see are patients who have done too many procedures. The goal of any surgery I perform is to make you look natural, age appropriate and never over-done. If I advise against doing a particular procedure, I feel strongly enough to turn down a surgical fee.

  • I will fully explain to you the benefits, risks, recovery, and possible complications of any procedure. For me to perform surgery on someone the benefits and results must far outweigh the negatives and the risks.

Despite what you may hear or read, there are no secret techniques or procedures which one plastic surgeon knows how to do. Various facelift techniques such as SMAS and deep plane have been used for over 30 years. Results are more dependent on the surgeon performing the operation and not the specific technique. The most important difference between plastic surgeons is aesthetic judgement and experience.
