Plastic surgery is a combination of art and science. Since some of the factors involved in producing the final result are not entirely within the control of either the surgeon or the patient, it is impossible to warranty or guarantee results.

"Once you have decided to have me perform a surgical procedure, I consider you to be a 'patient for life.' There is never an additional charge for follow-up appointments after the original surgery. I perform surgery to the best of my abilities, but if for any reason complications arise, I am always available to care for patients under all circumstances."

After aesthetic facial surgeries, a complimentary skin care analysis and treatment is provided to patients. In essence, this is a session of education and instruction provided by a professional skin care specialist. This is important, not only to enhance the surgical results, but to assist patients in maintaining the benefits of their surgery for years to come. Recommendations are made to assist in the selection of appropriate products which are available for purchase.

"After the initial consultation, and even after the procedure is performed, patients often have many questions regarding their surgery. Well-meaning friends are not a good source of information. I prefer my patients to find out everything they want to know from me or the members of my staff. A well-informed patient is a happy one. My personal attention is directed to all the important details of patent care and every effort is made to obtain the best possible result."
