Practice Philosophy

We restore and make whole those parts which nature or ill fortune have taken away, not so much to delight the eye but to buoy up the spirits of the afflicted.
- Gaspare Tagliacozzi* - Italy, 1597

Modern plastic surgery is a specialty that focuses on the repair of physical defects and the restoration of cosmetic deficiencies resulting from birth defects, trauma, cancers, and aging. The two core components of plastic surgery, namely, the cosmetic and the reconstructive, are seemingly distinct and separate in the eyes of the casual observer. However, cosmetic and reconscructive plastic surgery share identical anatomic and physiologic principles. They overlap and compliment each other seamlessly in achieving the goals articulated by Tagliacozzi some four hundred years ago. Plastic surgery truly unifies the art and science of medicine; plastic surgery can restore the body and mend the spirit of the patient. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Eng maintains his proficiency and skill in both of these venues through continued medical education and active clinical practice.

Dr. Eng serves his patients as physician and advocate. As the physician, Dr. Eng informs his patients of the most up-to-date plastic surgical trends, developments and treatment alternatives available for the type of surgery that requested. As the patient's advocate, Dr. Eng assists his patients in selecting the safest and the most effective treatment modalities to meet the patient's personal needs. Dr. Eng does his very best to listen, consult, advise, analyze, and executive all phases of your surgery carefully, thoroughly and expeditiously. Finally, Dr. Eng believes that plastic surgery can and should be affordable to the general public. Dr. Eng attempts to avoid unnecessary frills and tailor his fees and other expenses with this concept in mind.

What defines a cosmetic surgeon?

Dr. Eng believes that cosmetic surgery is an integral part of plastic and reconstructive surgery – Cosmetic surgery is designed to surgically reconstruct a portion or portions of the human body that have changed or are perceived as undesirable because of aging. Honed by years of practice, Dr. Eng excelled in Chinese calligraphy, a form of artistic expression buffered by delicate and refined manual dexterity. Dr. Eng's 20 plus years of medical experience and of staying current and proficient in reconstructive surgery has allowed him to visit the human body in all clinical settings and at all levels of complexity. Dr. Eng brings to his patients a professional and experienced knowledge of human anatomy and wound healing, an eye for aesthetics, a willingness to embrace innovation and new techniques, and a well honed manual dexterity. These characteristics serve the patient well in cosmetic surgery.
