practice philosophy

"Now more than ever we take steps to maintain the health of our body and mind through exercise and a well-balanced diet. As a result, we live longer than at any time in history. And not only do we live longer, we live healthier. Cosmetic surgery provides a means by which our outward appearance can be made to parallel our inward sense of health and youthfulness.

The decision to have cosmetic surgery should be made with careful consideration. The final result should meet the preoperative expectations of both patient and surgeon. Many variables exist and must be weighed carefully before a course of treatment is undertaken. The choices can seem overwhelming - what feature is it to be changed? What technique will offer the best outcome? Which surgeon will provide the best care?

My practice is built around the philosophy that every patient is an equal member of the decision-making team. Informed patients make good decisions. I encourage unhurried discussion between the patient, the other team members, and myself. It is my responsibility to ensure that my patients are thoroughly informed of the most up-to-date and effective treatments available. Computer imaging is critical, in that it allows proposed changes to be visualized and their effect on overall facial balance to be evaluated.

Experience, a sense of aesthetics and extensive surgical training allow me to confidently undertake the decided upon course of treatment. The ultimate goal is an appearance that is well proportioned, youthful, and above all, natural.

The final result should meet your expectations. I want you to feel better about yourself. That's what it's all about."
