Plastic and reconstructive surgery makes it possible to correct many flaws and signs of premature aging.  By changing how you look, cosmetic surgery can help change how you feel about yourself.  Dr. Stein stresses natural and subtle cosmetic procedures, which enhance rather than change one's appearance. 

As with all elective surgery, good health and realistic expectations are a prerequisite.  Successful plastic surgery is a result of a good rapport between patient and surgeon.  Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in the consultation stage before surgery.
