Philosophy of Care

Because no two people are alike, I approach each new patient uniquely. Beginning with the first consultation, it's my chief objective to ascertain the patient's wishes and desired outcome of their surgical procedure. What do they want to change? Why do they want to change it? How do they hope to look after the procedure? How do they hope to feel about their body? The more I know about a person, the more I'm able to make an accurate appraisal of the patient and their surgical options and set reasonable goals for that surgery. I also stress the importance of achieving a natural look and assure them that I will follow them closely throughout the entire recovery process and deliver whatever care is appropriate or necessary. Changing your body is a dramatic event, one that requires a deep level of sensitivity and understanding on the part of the surgeon. This is why it's so important for me to know each patient on a more personal level, and not just examine their body. Because this knowledge helps me determine how I can give them the confidence to change and, in turn, instills their trust in me to help them make it.

I am skilled in all aspects of aesthetic/reconstructive surgery, including facial aesthetic surgery, breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, reconstruction), and melanoma treatment. I have a special interest in body contour surgery, especially in post bariatric surgery patients.
