Robert W. Kessler, MD, FACS Reviews, Before and After Photos, Answers

Procedures I'm known for

Given the diversity of individual forms and the possible interventions, I believe an artistic sense is needed to achieve beauty, proportion, and harmony. A great surgical technician with no aesthetic sense can not restore or create beauty. My goal is to restore your youthful appearance, not alter it. Your photos, from a time you thought you looked your best, are my guide to achieving our mutual goals. Each surgical procedure I perform is tailored to your needs.

Although good surgical technique is critical to the successful outcome of cosmetic surgery, I believe an equally important element is listening to your needs and understanding your desires. There are many ways, surgical and nonsurgical, to address your aesthetic concerns. I feel strongly that it is my job to educate you on these surgical and nonsurgical options to achieve your goals. The more informed you are about the treatments we chose together, the greater your satisfaction will be with the result whether it is liposuction, breast augmentation or a face lift. Once you know what can and should be done it will be your decision to choose what is right for you.

Dr. Kessler enjoys bringing your aesthetic goals to life. He accomplishes this by listening, understanding, educating, communicating and individualizing the procedure to suit your needs. He combines these concepts with surgical skill, attention to detail, artistic insight and compassionate care.

Total years in practice: 23
