About

I believe individuality should be celebrated. As a plastic surgeon, my goal is not to change your unique expressions and features but to refine your facial or body image, enhancing and restoring your natural beauty. We all realize that the aging process cannot be eliminated – but it can be slowed, altered, refined, and balanced to preserve elegance, regardless of age. Most patients are happy to be their age, but they want to look the best that they can. To help obtain this balance, I have created a multi-disciplinary team of top dietitians, physical trainers and aestheticians to enhance your surgical results. I have realized that plastic surgery is as much about treating the patient as it is about performing the procedure. The goal is a healthier, happier you.

Training in the modern era of plastic surgery has enabled me to be facile with the latest data-proven technologies and has led me to incorporate this technology into a traditional surgical practice. In recent years, I have watched the pendulum change from an over-plumped, over-stretched standard into a more balanced, natural enhancement. Most patients wish to look like a better version of themselves, not an idealized plastic surgery model. To achieve this, I use a multi-modality approach combining small “tweaks” to deliver a fresher appearance. Whether using micro-droplets of fillers, a combination of lasers and surgery or using newer techniques in the operating room, the new paradigm of beauty is no longer just desirable but is now achievable.

Doft Plastic Surgery creates an environment that fosters quality, individuality, honesty, and privacy. My office is warm and inviting and is decorated like a stylish private home to make your visit more comfortable. Here, I hope you will appreciate both my conservative approach to surgery and my gentle, discreet bedside manner. I am a mother of two young sons and have the same beauty concerns of any busy person; allowing me to appreciate what my patients ask for. My hope is to safely reach your personal goals while preserving your identity and individuality with natural-looking improvements.
