MEET PAUL FORTES, MD
“Plastic surgery is as much an art as it is a science. A plastic surgeon must have an artist’s sensibility as well as a scientist’s rigor in order to offer his patient the best results under the safest conditions. As a plastic surgeon by training and an artist by inclination and talent, I know that the best results are always customized and individually crafted.
The best results in plastic surgery are never ‘cookie cutter’ or ‘off the rack.’ They should be one-of-a-kind, like the individuals that desire them. My approach in plastic surgery is like an artist’s approach to his blank canvas or the unmolded clay. Of course, the direction that is taken comes from a clear knowledge of the needs, values, dreams, and desires of the individual patient. I never lose sight of that! Once a clear vision is established, the plastic surgeon, as artist and scientist, can set in motion his plans to achieve safe and superior results with the greatest attention to precision and detail. Generic, commoditized, or ‘one-size-fits-all’ approaches never achieve superior results in plastic surgery, much like ‘painting by number’ never results in a masterpiece. My greatest professional pride comes from customizing plans and crafting results that meet the unique needs and appearance goals of each patient. I offer my best to help patients achieve their best!”
