My practice is very unique, I only perform facial cosmetic surgery, I do not perform any breast work or any body type of work. There are many reasons why I got into the field of facial cosmetic surgery. When I was younger I had always had an artistic ability and I did a lot of drawing and painting. So I have a deep appreciation for art. And once I'd entered medical school, I realized that I really enjoyed the intricate anatomy of the face, including the facial nerves and some of the intricacies in the facial musculature. And it was just an ongoing experience to be able to develop a real knowledge in the facial area and that's when I decided to do an Otolaryngology, or ear, nose and throat residency.
