Helping Create a More Positive Body Image

Our outward appearance is a living mosaic that reflects the many facets of our lives and who we are. Not only genetics but societal demands, busy work schedules, medical conditions and sun damage affect the way we look. Plastic surgery, with its greater accessibility, now offers alternatives to growing old gracefully or living with a personally unacceptable appearance. positiveThere are many new and exciting avenues in plastic surgery that have become available which can create a more positive body image. Recent refinements in body contouring, with both tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction, intertwine art and medicine to remove unwanted or difficult-to-lose fatty areas. Breast augmentation, with saline implants, allows the use of much smaller insertion sites and provides a greater ability to fine tune the symmetry of the breasts, thereby giving a naturally enhanced appearance. West Maple Plastic Surgery, with its convenient location, comfortable surroundings and well-trained staff; affords the patient an opportunity to explore their options in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Daniel D. Sherbert, a double-board certified plastic surgeon, has also been fellowship trained and has earned a reputation as a skilled and artistic surgeon in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.

Many years of training and experience have gone into the development of Dr. Sherbert’s professional career. As a surgeon he performs a full range of cosmetic surgical procedures such as facelifts, eye lifts, breast lifts and augmentation, along with traditional liposuction, breast reduction and abdominoplasty. Dr. Sherbert also pursued further training in order to provide his patients the latest techniques in ultrasonic-assisted liposuction and CO2 laser skin resurfacing.

Newer advances in lip augmentation, endoscopic facial procedures and laser refinements of wrinkles are the tangible products of our society’s desire and need to strive for a more positive self-image. “We believe that it is important for the patient to discuss his or her cosmetic goals,” says Dr. Sherbert. “Together then we can move towards an honest, educated projection prior to surgery. In this way, we aim for results that are a harmonious blend of both the patient’s desires and expectations, and the application of the proper surgical procedure.”

Along with his interest in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Sherbert excels in the delivery of state-of-the-art breast reconstruction. After completing his training in Michigan in both general surgery and plastic surgery, he completed a fellowship in breast reconstruction and cosmetic breast surgery in Atlanta, Georgia as the private student of Dr. Carl Hartrampf, a world renowned pioneer in breast reconstruction
