Body parts are not interchangeable like car parts are. You can’t select one you like from a photo or magazine and have it replace part of you, no matter how much you (or your surgeon) would like to. Plastic surgery is as much an art as a science. We plastic surgeons are all well-trained and have a wealth of experience, yet there is no way any surgeon can genuinely guarantee any specific result.
Occasionally, the result of our best efforts doesn’t live up to what we had predicted. There can be several reasons for this.
Make no mistake, well over 90% of my patients are pleased with their surgery outcomes. But I’ve learned long ago that I will never be able to make every single patient happy. While I strive for perfection and the “home run” every time, in the end I am in the “improvement business,” not the “perfection business.” Knowing this, and armed with realistic expectations, the likelihood of being happy with your surgical outcomes is extremely high.
