Are you considering plastic surgery for cosmetic or restorative reasons?
First, you’ll have a plastic surgery consultation. Here you’ll get to ask questions, raise concerns and learn about what’s involved with our experienced specialists. It’s also an opportunity for the surgeon to talk to you in detail about your medical history and other relevant factors, as well as tell you about what the surgery involves and expected results.
