It has been now six months since the surgery, and we absolutely love the results. Thank you Dr. Khalifeh" S.F. 2008
Natural looks. a preference for natural beauty has largely replaced an “artificial aesthetic” of past decades. The goal of cosmetic surgery should be to create improvements which look pleasing, but also fit an individual's unique ethnic, cultural, and familial features.
Maximum Safety, Maximum Results, Affordable fees: the decision to undergo plastic surgery involves a multifaceted decision making process for the patient. Dr. Khalifeh prides himself in helping the patient design a "makeover" package that best suites her (or his) goals, physical findings, job requirement, and budget. Dr. Khalifeh believes that in this era, plastic surgery should no longer be viewed as an eccentric hobby of only the famous, but as an elective medical treatment tailored to restore form and function that is essential for meeting the goals of many of his patients in today's active life.
