Description
Welcome to my site. I am a plastic surgeon in San Francisco. I`ve spent my life working to help people achieve their beauty goals, and teaching other physicians how to operate successfully and safely. It is an emotionally rewarding career that I enjoy very much. More than half a million Americans have surgery each year to enhance their appearance. Whether you came here to learn more about a procedure you are considering or to help a loved one make an appropriate decision, I hope these pages help. This Web site provides information about cosmetic plastic surgery to assist individuals who are considering such surgery or who may require it. The procedures described on this Web site are explained in "average-case" terms variations do exist. While the Web is an incredible resource for information, please contact my office in person. Surgery is a personal decision and requires an in-person conversation with your doctor. I`m available for consultation and my well-trained staff can help answer your questions about the procedures I specialize in. Enjoy your visit to my site. We look forward to meeting you in person, learning about your beauty needs and desires, and turning your dreams into reality.
