Plastic surgery’s immediate effects quickly improve people’s quality of life. As a physician, that’s what I see as its most important benefit. Whether it is reconstructive surgery from cancer or trauma, or cosmetic surgery to help someone feel better about how they look, the positive effect on their mental health and self image is powerful.

I take pride in offering each patient the compassion and expert skill they deserve on their transformative journey. I believe surgery is the first step, and I applaud the introspection and ambition of each individual who takes that step. The sky is not the limit!
