Cosmetic Surgery as Sculpture
February 26th, 2024
The artistic aspects of cosmetic surgery cannot be stressed enough. Sculpture is the cornerstone of all cosmetic surgery whether I am adding, removing or rearranging tissues. The quality of result is not dependent on what is removed but rather knowing what is left behind, as in sculpture. I find that by observing the classic principals and proportions of artistic expression, it is essential for achieving a pleasing and natural look.
I Want to Look Younger, but Not Different!

Patients are generally clear about what type of results they are looking for with a facelift when scheduling an appointment. They express a desire to still look like themselves, minus the wrinkles and sagging. During our consultation we discuss the aesthetics of cosmetic surgery, specifically as it relates to the aging face and neck. Most patients prefer not to look like they just got off of a rocket sled after surgery. My philosophy is that the result should look natural and you should look refreshed and rested, like returning from a restful vacation. That being said, there will be an element of tight appearance for a few weeks following surgery before the results are fully realized. Before and after photos are an excellent resource for choosing the appropriate surgeon to align with your expectations.
