Dr. Ahmad Saad, MD, FACS

Hay que tener en cuenta muchos factores a la hora de determinar el mejor enfoque para cada paciente, desde los antecedentes y el origen étnico hasta los resultados deseados. Por lo tanto,  la cirugía plástica no es un estándar único para todos. Once años de formación post-doctoral le han dado al Dr. Saad la experiencia necesaria para combinar estos factores y lograr un enfoque único de cada cirugía que proporcione a sus pacientes los resultados más seguros y exitosos.

La mayoría de los pacientes que se someten a una cirugía plástica no quieren tener una apariencia estandarizada, sino que quieren una versión más refrescada y rejuvenecida de sí mismos. Esto requiere una minuciosa dedicación a los detalles y experiencia en una gran variedad de técnicas, para que los procedimientos puedan ser personalizados según la estructura facial y corporal, las dimensiones y las características únicas del paciente. Esto es especialmente necesario al trabajar con pacientes de diferentes etnias, en los que los resultados deben ser fieles a los antecedentes y características naturales del paciente.
