Kurtzman Plastic Surgery: Destination for cosmetic surgery
Did you know people travel to Cincinnati for plastic and cosmetic surgery? It’s true, and one practice attracting many patients from other parts of the country is Kurtzman Plastic Surgery, a boutique practice in Kenwood. Why so many out-of-towners from New York and California and other distant localities in the U.S. and beyond?
First, there is Lawrence Kurtzman, M.D., who enjoys an international reputation for his plastic and cosmetic surgery work. His reputation is built on solid credentials, including his professional outreach and his teaching skills. He is a certified member of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. This is an important distinction, since so many MDs in the field are not board certified in plastic surgery. Kurtzman is the only area surgeon who is a national trainer for Botox®, Juvederm®, Latisse™, Sculptra® and Voluma®. For years, he has trained many practicing plastic surgeons. Lastly, he is a driving force behind Operation Smile, a philanthropic organization that travels to third-world countries to correct cleft palates and other correctible facial birth defects among the indigent poor.
So what about you; what about your cosmetic or plastic surgery needs?
“One reason people travel long distances to come here is reputation. If you look like you’ve had plastic surgery, then that’s bad plastic surgery. You see it all the time, even with people in the public eye, they look “funny,” not natural. That’s sad. Here, we’ve built our reputation on excellent outcomes for our plastic or cosmetic surgery patients,” Dr. Kurtzman said.
When a patient chooses surgery by Dr. Kurtzman, the doctor makes a life-long commitment to the patient, with no added fees after surgery. He encourages patients to visit once a year after surgery, to stay in touch and for check-ups. “Commitment to my patients after surgery is not about the dollar; it’s about taking care of people who put faith and trust in my surgical skills.
So what care should you exercise in selecting elective cosmetic or plastic surgery? First, take the time to consult and to learn about the procedure you want, and don’t be rushed into it. Two, make certain that the doctor doing your surgery is a certified member of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons (there is only one such board; be careful, because similar “boards” with slightly different names abound). And three, make sure that you are comfortable with the surgeon you have chosen to do your procedure.
