An Introduction To My Surgical Philosophy
One of the greatest joys in being a plastic surgeon, and perhaps one of the main driving factors for many of us going into the specialty, is the fact that our work is so varied. One day, I can be rebuilding a patient’s breast after cancer has necessitated a mastectomy. The next day it might be helping someone to feel better by re-shaping their tummy, and the day after that, it might be fixing the cut nerves and tendons in someone’s hand. Each of these surgical problems requires a different part of the set of skills built up over years of training, and each case is always different, requiring technical expertise, and often an element of artistic creativity.
Whether it is a restoration of form or function, or most frequently both, for me the essence of plastic surgery is to help my patients reinvigorate their confidence.
