Expertise
"Plastic Surgery is arguably the most diverse of all the surgical specialties. It is this variety, and the creative elements required, that attracts many of us to plastic surgery in the first place.
This website was developed to provide information and support for my patients having cosmetic breast procedures. My daily practice involves the full range of plastic and cosmetic surgery including breast reconstruction surgery, body contouring by liposculpture and tummy tuck, facelift and neck lift, eyelids, as well as the surgical management of skin cancer and melanoma."
