About Our Practice

In our practice, we realize that plastic surgery is a choice. We provide you with as much information as possible, so that the decision concerning surgery is well thought out. Throughout the surgical process, we make sure that all questions about pre-operative preparation and postoperative care are answered. This, we have found, decreases a patient's apprehension and improves the overall outcome. Plastic surgical patients are interested in improving themselves and their lives, and we feel it is important to provide you with health, wellness and skin care information that may influence your surgical outcome. Our practice emphasizes both privacy and professionalism, while maintaining a pampering attitude and relaxing atmosphere.
