goals for each patient
are to safely and
effectively improve
their features to accent
their natural beauty
without the obvious
stigmata of cosmetic
surgery. My patients
often tell me, 'people
cannot tell what I have
had done. They say I
look refreshed and
well-rested - not
'done'' - the utmost
complement to patient
and surgeon alike."
