People elect to have cosmetic surgery for many different reasons. While some may choose cosmetic surgery to repair damage caused by accidents, others may opt for this surgery to improve their personal appearance.

Cosmetic surgery may be performed on an outpatient basis in the office, or on an inpatient basis in the hospital, depending on Dr. Pulsipher professional opinion.

While most individuals report enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem after their surgeries, it is important to understand that the goal of surgery is to improve appearance. Cosmetic surgery will refine and enhance features that already exist. It will not give you a new face or a new life. How much or how little change occurs depends on each individual, as well as the extent of the surgery.

Surgical lasers cause little or no damage to surrounding tissue. Dr. Pulsipher is highly skilled in employing surgical lasers to precisely remove blemishes or wrinkles from around the mouth, face and neck.
