"I understand plastic surgery patients can be apprehensive about locating a facility for their cosmetic needs. As a Seattle plastic surgeon determined to effectively educate patients, I have created this site give you a wealth of information to help begin your search. I will never claim that I am the esthetic surgeon for everyone around. You are invited to use your eyes and your common sense. If you like my results, I appreciate the favor. If you don't, I still appreciate the time you took to browse through them."

Uncompromising Safety

There can be no enjoyment of a result regardless of how good it is unless you are in good health, period. Safety involves the surgeon, the personnel and the premises. Let us begin with Yours Truly: two undeniable facts make me an exceedingly safe surgeon: I know when to say NO and I am a fast surgeon (without ever compromising the result). Speedy surgeons usually are the ones who have a plan and understand how to achieve it. There is no wasted time or superfluous motions. Minimizing surgery time is equivalent to minimizing complications.

My personnel is highly trained and up-to-date with CME's and safety requirements.

As for my operating rooms, they are certified by the national bodies overseeing outpatient facilities. We have passed the yearly inspections and have maintained the upper echelon of certification. Basically, this means that as far as equipment, medications and training are concerned, my operating rooms (on -paper) are at the level of general and specialized hospitals. In fact, my operating rooms are SAFER because we do not deal with high-risk patients (a source of infection and complications) and we provide one-on-one care (hence no potential for error or confusion about who is having what done).

Professionalism

My staff and I appreciate the effort it takes a prospective patient to schedule then present for a consultation. Time is a precious commodity and yours will never be wasted or treated with disrespect. You will be offered the respect you are due.

It does not stop here. Professionalism mandates honesty in all of our dealings. It is not because you strongly desire a procedure that you will automatically get it. Expect your views to be challenged as the best service we can offer you is an in-depth understanding of your motivations and a pallette of options for you to choose from towards your goal.

No one in my office will ever push you to have surgery. In fact, we will encourage you to make the round of professionals to better understand your choices.

But if you choose us, we will be honored.

I will be happy to support and refer your clinic."

Testi "Dr. Anous:

I wanted to send a note of my gratitude and appreciation for your expert care and professional service.

I would also like to take the time to properly thank the staff for the kindness they have shown me. My experience with my surgery was incredibly positive. This procedure has changed my life. I fell better about my appearance, look better, as well as being much more confident. I am much more comfortable with my body and myself as a person.

My only regret is that I didn't find you sooner!

Please know that I appreciate you every day, for I think of how fortunate I am to have benefited in choosing you and your staff for my surgery and care."

Qualifications

I was born in Cairo, Egypt around the middle of the previous century. I was educated in a French Jesuit school, hence my perfect command of French (I have picked up other languages since then due to my travels). My father who was a surgeon taught me early on the ropes of the business. To his disapointment, rather than taking over the helmsmanship of the hospital carrying the family's name, I decided to move to the United States in 1979 (when only 24 years old) to chart my own territory.

All of my surgical training has been done in my adoptive country (I have been an American citizen since 1984) except for a stint back to France in 1988 to train in Paris with Dr. Paul Tessier, the leading figure of the twentieth century in Cranio-Facial surgery.

My perigrinations have taken me through Waterbury (Connecticut) for General surgery at the St. Mary's hospital (Yale affiliate); New York City (New York) for cancer surgery at the Sloan-Kettering Memorial hospital; Seattle (Washington) for a burn fellowship at Harborview Medical Center; Allentown (Pennsylvania) for plastic surgery at Lehigh Valley General hospital; Houston (Texas) for Microsurgery at the Mecom Institute and as mentioned above, Paris (France) at the Clinique Belvedere for Cranio-Facial surgery.

If you have been paying attention and wonder why then do I hold licensure in Maine, it is because it was the earliest state in the union where I could obtain licensure following my arrival so I could moonlight in an emergency room. Hunger mandated the trip from Connecticut!

Still want to know more? Okay. My wife is from Texas and we share six kids between us (two of hers and two of mine from previous marriages, and two of our own). Now you understand WHY we have to be working all the time!!

Not true. Other than my family and my work, my passion is Classical Guitar which I practice faithfully after everyone in the household has gone to sleep.

As for my staff, they are much more interesting than me (and also better looking). You would have the pleasure of meeting all of them should you decide to come visit us.
