Initial office consultations are designed to allow time for the patient and the doctor to establish a comfortable relationship. My objective is to work with you, to address your individual needs, and achieve the image and result you desire. It is important to allow each patient to share their personal views of their self-image, and then use this as a guide for their self-improvement. A shared understanding of goals is important to optimize achievable results. We will discuss your concerns in detail and review your medical history. A comprehensive physical examination will be performed, and medical photographs will be taken to help formulate a surgical plan. I will present you with the most appropriate treatment alternatives. The benefits and potential risks of any treatment option, surgical or non-surgical, will be considered in detail. You will then be well informed and comfortable with your decision to undergo plastic surgery.
