Plastic surgery is unlike any other specialty, in that every person has a different set of goals for the outcome and a different situation from which they are beginning their journey.  From a surgical perspective, this keeps things as interesting as they are fulfilling every day.

I get to help people live as the best version of themselves. There is nothing else like it!

During medical school, I rotated on the plastic surgery team.  I realized right away that this specialty is unlike any other in the challenges to the surgeon and life improvement for the patient.

Instead of looking to the latest hyped product that might be proven ineffective next year, I tend to look toward the solid, “tried and true” advancements.  I think the most beneficial product on the market today is the modern silicone gel breast implant, which I like to discuss with my Vero Beach plastic surgery patients.  It is sturdier and more natural feeling than ever before.
