Every person is an individual. Every individual deserves personalized attention. These are the principles behind my practice philosophy. The only way for me to fully understand what you desire out of plastic surgery is to really listen to your concerns. My aim is to mesh your expectations, goals, and anatomy with the surgical possibilities to develop a personalized operative plan. We will discuss the options, alternatives, risks, and benefits of every treatment approach. After an extensive discussion and comprehensive evaluation, together we will design a plan to meet your needs. The results are personal satisfaction one individual at a time.

Dr. Lawton's practice has a particular focus on breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, liposuction, body contouring, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). At the initial consultation, your health history will be reviewed and the procedures you are interested in will be explained in great detail. After an examination and extensive discussion, you and Dr. Lawton will arrive at the surgical plan that will best achieve your goals.
