The best part about being a plastic surgeon is the ability to help people. To restore their sense of self and wholeness; to give someone hope who otherwise felt hopeless; who is suffering from a complication from cancer or trauma or some other issue in their life, to be able to have a solution to try to fix that problem - that is incredibly rewarding.

The aspect of my work that I'm most excited about is that it allows me to continue to learn and find new ways to help my patients - new ways to address old problems, which allows my patients to recover more quickly, with less pain and suffering and the ability to continue on with their lives.

There's a lot of instant gratification for what I do. A patient walks into the procedure room with a problem and they walk out fixed. There's a lot of reward to that.
