Q. Are you board
certified?
A. Yes. Many people don't realize the training a plastic
surgeon goes through. After medical school, I completed a
full five-year residency in general surgery followed by a
two-year residency in plastic surgery and a one-year
fellowship in craniofacial surgery - that's 12 years of
school and training after college. Twelve years of endless
nights in the hospital, meager pay, and a never-ending
workload. Was it worth it? Yes! - every second of it. I have
a career that's both meaningful and fulfilling. I get to
help people, generally make them happy, and get paid for it.
To get back to the question - I am board certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery - remember that name and
ask your surgeon if he is certified by it. Or visit plastic
surgery network and search for the Doctor's name in their
directory, as they list only board certified surgeons. |

Q. Do you use the
latest techniques and advances?
A. I am privileged to be in partnership with five
other board certified, highly qualified plastic surgeons. We
not only have our private practices, but we are responsible
for running the residency training program in plastic
surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Our personal
philosophy is that we will provide only the highest quality,
safest and most effective plastic surgery procedures. We
hold each other accountable to these principles, as does our
obligation to training future plastic surgeons. As a group
of eight, we have considerable economy of scale - which
allows us to have a state-of-the-art day surgery center, as
well as the latest in equipment and instruments that would
be prohibitive if we were practicing as individuals. Our
university affiliation puts us in a leadership role. We have
helped educate practicing plastic surgeons around the
country in laser surgery, endoscopic surgery, ultrasonic
liposuction, as well as in numerous other cosmetic
procedures.

Q. How much do the
procedures cost?
A. A very good question. While I do not think a
publicly accessed site such as this should publish that
information (I don't know why, I just do - in medicine we
are still far behind the real world in a business sense). I
will tell you that there are 3 to 4 components to a price:
Surgeon's fee
Operating Room fee
Anesthesia fee
and if applicable, Implant fee
