Surgery is only one of the steps in Maximizing Your Potential! First comes understanding the desires of the patient - What is to be the ultimate goal? Next is the plan - How are we to achieve the goal? Consultations may be lengthy.

Surgery is but one step – preceded by patient education, smoking cessation, skin preparation, perhaps even a moulage to sculpt in wax the desired change or to create an implant. Other steps follow –education to learn how to maintain you new look, suggestions for non-surgical enhancements to “put the icing on the cake”. Pre- and Post-operatively, patients take advantage of our programs for facials, peels, and make-up instruction, or any of the newest in skin care rejuvenation programs.

Consultants in hair style, color and cut may be desired for your new look and are routinely available and utilized. Personal trainers, wardrobe consultants and others are available to those that need them. A patient coordinator assures that your every inquiry, your every need is fulfilled.
