For the last twenty-seven years Dr. Wolf has practiced Plastic Surgery in La Jolla, California. In his twenty-seven years of practicing in La Jolla, he has become one of the most prominent Plastic Surgeons in the community. Initially his practice included an extensive amount of reconstructive surgery including facial and traumatic injuries and congenital deformities including cleft lip and cleft palate. However due to the increasing demand for his Cosmetic Surgery skills, his practice is now exclusively devoted to Aesthetic Surgery and has been for the last twenty years.
Many Plastic Surgeons in San Diego and La Jolla rely on either advertising or extensive socializing to promote their practice. Both of these methods assist in increasing the Surgeon’s visibility and name recognition. Dr. Wolf however, does not advertise and has always preferred to socialize primarily with close friends. Therefore his busy practice is solely dependant on physician and patient referrals. The fact that his practice has long been one of the busiest La Jolla Plastic Surgery practices, is a strong testimony of the high degree of satisfaction among his many patients. These patients frequently come from all over the United States and from a number of foreign countries.
Dr. Wolf has long been noted for surgeries that achieve results which are both dramatic and extremely natural in appearance. His goal has always been to achieve the best possible results, but at the same time avoid any “done” or “operated on” look. Dr. Wolf has helped train and mentor more than 25% of the Plastic Surgeons presently practicing in La Jolla. In fact, many of these well known surgeons still actively refer to him as one of their primary Mentors.
Dr. Wolf specializes in facelifts, rhinoplasties, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation and breast lifts, abdominoplasties, and liposuction. He also has long believed that not only should the surgery achieve the results that the patient is looking for, but it should be done in a way in which the results remain long lasting and attractive through the years.
Dr. Wolf’s patients, when asked about their experiences with him, his staff, the surgery, and the results, have been uniformly positive and enthusiastic. They felt that their consultation was careful and detailed, with more than enough time to have all their questions addressed. The patients stated that they felt that Dr. Wolf was both warm and highly approachable. His staff is experienced and highly skilled. The same professionals have provided anesthesia for his patients for the last twenty-eight years with a perfect record. The surgeries are done in such a way that their should be minimal post operative discomfort or pain, and for most procedures, minimal swelling or bruising. The patients who were interviewed responded that the surgery and the results were even better than they had hoped for.
Dr. Wolf’s reputation in the community and among his peers is that of one of the finest Plastic Surgeons on the West Coast. And among his patients he is held in the highest possible esteem.
