"You're not just buying an operation. You're buying expertise."


Don't think that matters? Consider this: According to statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, there were more than 24,000 physicians likely to perform cosmetic surgery in 2009. During the year, just over 150,000 cosmetic eyelid operations were performed. Approximately 4% of patients undergoing eyelid surgery were of Asian ethnicity.

Thus, on average, the typical cosmetic surgeon now performs about one Asian eyelid operation every four years.
