A Personal Statement
from P. Craig Hobar M.D.
I consider it a privilege to be a plastic surgeon - that's why I am one of the founders of
the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute and the Dallas Day Surgery Center. At it's essence,
plastic surgery is a specialty designed to improve quality of life. It's very fulfilling
to give my patients a new outlook on life. I am very careful to listen to my patients and
make sure that I understand their expectations and use that information to determine who
is a good candidate for plastic surgery. I strive to deliver the highest quality care and
perform only the safest and most effective plastic surgery procedures.
I perform all cosmetic procedures in the Dallas Day Surgery
Center. It is a fully accredited Day Surgery Center equipped with the most technically
advanced equipment and safety features. Dallas Day Surgery Center was
the focus of an article published in the Journal of Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery for its record of safety and efficacy in an
outpatient cosmetic surgery center. The Journal Of Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery is the scientific journal of the American
Society Of Plastic Surgeons (www.plasticsurgery.org). It is important that I create the safest possible
environment for my patients so I insist on using an anesthetist or an anesthesiologist
during all of my procedures. As you will see throughout this site, I am involved with
several professional organizations and educational institutions. I am continually exposed
to the latest advancements in plastic surgery - both good and bad - and am very selective
of the procedures I will perform. I must be convinced that a procedure is safe, effective
and beneficial to my patient before I will perform it.
Choosing a plastic surgeon is an important decision. I
encourage you to contact the American Society of Plastic Surgery at
1-800-635-0635 for a list of all the board certified plastic surgeons in your area before
choosing someone to perform your procedure. This is the best way to know that surgeon has
completed the stringent training, requirements and testing necessary to be certified by
this governing board. It's worth the time to improve the quality of your life.
