The Natural Look Philosophy
"The Natural Look is an important principle in aesthetic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. It takes a skillful, experienced and artistic plastic surgeon to restore, reshape and create a harmonious balance of your face and body. This is just as important with non-surgical treatment, such as Botox and facial fillers. With over 25 years of experience as a board certified plastic surgeon, I have honed my craft as a masterful human sculptor, guided by this important principle."
